Brake rotors kept warping for no reason. Brakes would shake when applied. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic could not locate cause of rotors warping. Replaced rotors again. This was second time they have been replaced.
While traveling at 10 MPH brakes locked up and vehicle started sliding, and touched the bumper of another car, when consumer applied brakes there was ajumping motion like brakes were trying to lock up.
When vehicle is shut off, the auxiliary fan keeps running, dealer replaced fan and found the relay was sticking.
Faulty brake rotors caused the vehicle to shake. Nlm
Driver released emergency brake while the truck was parked on a steep hill. The engine was turned off. Truck rolled down hill backwards. Even though driver stood on the brake, truck still continued to roll, and hit two trees. *ak
At approximently 9000 mi. I noticed that the vehicale started to shimmy when the brakes were applied. Then at apporx. 14,000 I took the truck to a dodge mech. And had the front rotors looked at. The mech. States that the rotors are warped and need to be machined. I think the problem is in the brake pads, causing the rotors to get hot at a faster rate. At this pace I will have to replace the rotors way before I have to replace the pads. I think I know alot about cars and that does not seem right . Thank you.
Brakes are not working properly. Dealer told him to come in 2 weeks for a brake checkup. By the time the consumer went in his brakes were shot.( nothing left on the front brakes).
Vibration throughout the truck was first noticed when applying the brakes at 7k miles. The dealer was contacted and they "resurfaced the pads and rotors" but found no indication of a problem. At 14,500 miles the dealer replaced the drums, rotors, pads, and shoes to stop severe vibration when brakes were applied. By 19,000 miles the vibration had started back. At 24,000 miles the vibration is sever again.
While driving on a road with many turns the brakes overheated to the point that the rotors had discolored and smoke was coming from the brakes.
Front brakes keep warping due to extreme heat. Dealer has resurfaced brakes, and replaced rotors. But defect keeps reoccurring.
When traveling 15-20 MPH and when pulling out a parking space on wet pavement, brake pedal went to the floorboard, causing extended stopping distance, and resulting in an accident. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
Intermittently when brakes are applied, the vehicle pulls to the right causing failure. Dealer has inspected the vehicle and claims that brakes pull because of road. *ak
