While driving on a 2-lane highway and trying to slow down, anti-lock brake lights came on, and then there were no power assist brakes. Consumer had to stand on the brakes to stop vehicle. Dealer said that they don't have any information on the problem with the brakes.
The engine consumed anitfreeze at a rate of 1.5 gallons per 3000 miles.
My pickup truck is equipped with diesel engine. The engine driven vacuum pump allowed engine oil into the vacuum hoses due to the absence of an internal check valve. The oil did cause the hose to deteriorate and partially collapse, reducing the vacuum supply to the brake booster. Chrysler stated that my pu was not covered by this problem although I had repeated brake failures until the vaccum hose was replaced and a check valve installed. I've not experienced brake failure since the vaccum hose was replaced and the check valve installed.
I'm on my 4th set of brake pads. The brake systems (according to midas brakes) are not sufficient on the 3/4 ton pickup trucks! Most of my driving is open highway.
I have a long history of reporting serious major safety component problems and failures to chrysler on both of my vehicles. My vehicles have been in three accidents resulting from failed safety components. Each time after the accident, the dealer was able to find the problem and correct it. However, this has never happened before the accident. In the case of the brake line failure it involves every 1195 br2500 hd pickup truck. Chrysler found and corrected the problem at some point because the replacement part is designed to reduce the bends which cause the line to rub against the wheel rim on turns. I have experienced thousands of dollars in damages that were caused by chrysler. How do I get my money back?
