RAM brake problems

Owners have filed 5,345 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on RAM vehicles — 19% of everything reported about the brand, across 10 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the RAM 2500, worst in 2018.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
