2010 DODGE RAM 3500 INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK WELL ENOUGH TO STOP TRAILER. THE CONTROLLER DOES NOT SEND BRAKING VOLTAGE TO TRAILER FOR A FULL 3 SECONDS AFTER THE TRUCK BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND TAKES 2-3 SECONDS TO RAMP UP THE VOLTAGE AFTER THE TRUCK BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IF THE CONTROLLER IS SET TO A SETTING OF 5-10 THE CONTROLLER ONLY SENDS 3.0 TO THE TRAILER. THE CONTROLLER NEVER SENDS OVER 3.0 NO MATTER HOW LONG OR HARD THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE RESULT IS WHEN STOPPING, THE TRAILER PUSHES THE TRUCK INTO INTERSECTIONS. THE BRAKE CONTROLLER WAS REPLACED AND IT STILL WORKS THE SAME. CONTACTED DODGE AND AFTER PLAYING PHONE TAG NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE STOPS SHORT OR CHANGES LANES AND STOPS ELIMINATING THE EXTRA STOPPING DISTANCE I ALLOW BECAUSE OF THE INEFFECTIVE BRAKE CONTROLLER. *TR
