I had purchase this vehicle in Feb 2011, and ever since I have reported to my dealer that I been feeling vibration when I apply my brakes and all of a sudden, steering wheel starts to shake and brakes shake when applied. They had test drove it an they came back an told me it was just the road, they informed to change the breaks and rotors, and I should b fine, so I did. Now im having trouble with road vibration from new tires, also had a alignment for all four tires, and they not able to keep proper balance and now again with my rotors and brakes shakes when I apply and I feel it in the steering wheel. I just may need to take it in have them look everything overagain, but by another mechanic. .
Front brakes get grabby, than lock-up, when driven at random speeds. This causes the wheels to smoke and rotor grinding. This failure has occurred at least 7 times from 500 miles to 10,000 miles. I have had it to the 2 different Dodge dealers for a total 3 times. The only way I can get the brakes to unlock is to turn off the engine and wait a few minutes and restart the engine.
