Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks can lead to a loss of pressure, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
Worn brake pads/rotors
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need to be replaced to maintain proper braking performance.
Abs (anti-lock braking system) failure
The ABS system can malfunction due to sensor issues or electrical problems, leading to a loss of anti-lock braking capabilities.
Brake pedal feel issues
A spongy or hard brake pedal can indicate air in the brake lines, a need for brake fluid replacement, or issues with the master cylinder.
Engine misfires
With a 6-cylinder engine, misfires can occur due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Excessive oil consumption
Older Dodge Ram models, including the 2009 version, may experience higher oil consumption due to worn piston rings or valve seals.
