Fellow Ram owners, i have a new 2012 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4. I t currently has 1017 miles on it and I have owned it for 2 weeks. I have noticed that my brake pedal pumps up if i press the brake pedal once then let up then immediately press it again (pumping the brakes). The brakes work good if i don't pump the brakes, but if i do i notice that the pedal is firmer sooner on the the stroke. Just like is there were air in the system or like a leaking wheel cylinder on older trucks.
When I first started looking to get a Ram, i test drove 4-5 different ram 1500 4x4s and the brakes all felt the same but i never thought of pumping the brakes during the test drives as i figured they are new trucks so nothing should be wrong with them. After i bought my truck, not sure when i first noticed it, but now i catch myself pumping my brakes to verify the brakes actually build up when pumping them. Since, i have went to my local Dodge dealer and test drove another new 2012 Ram 1500 and the brakes on that truck did the same thing.
Have any of you noticed this same behavior with your trucks?
I just want to get an idea of if taking it to the dealer would do any good.
Thanks
