suddenly without warning bob m exclaimed 4/9/2005 611 pm paul bowman via carkb.com wrote i have a 1999 5.9 litre dodge durango slt that i purchased new. about 2 years ago...very scary that this has been going on this long i had brake work done usual pads replaced rotors truedalso replaced all 4 tires stock size at a local shop. after this work was performed my brakes will sometimes lock up at slower speeds 25 mph they become very touchy to the point that when driving through a parking lot just barely touching the pedal can cause the brakes to lock up. its not your imagination. i had the same problem on my 01 ram. my other half used to bitch whenever it happened and tell me i didnt know how to drive. i told the bitch to shut up. the dealer said it was normal although an independent shop i took the truck to said i had a bad brake caliper. bob ive just started noticing this too in my 2001 dakota. they dont actually lock up but after the trucks been sitting more than a day or two theyre *very* touchy. it seems to fade after ive been driving 10 minutes or so. not sure if i have the same problem did you replace the caliper and if so did it fix the problem .
