Air Brake Antilock problem #1

Brakes lock and car highly succeptable to hydroplaning when turning, especially from a stopped position, on any level of rainfall. Most serious incident involved car turning 360 degrees twice then resting opposite side of roadway, in oncoming traffic lanes, after jumping a low median, completely out of my control. I was attempting to turn on a green arrow from a dead stopped position, going approx 0-5 mph when losing control of the car. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

Air Brake Antilock problem #2

Front brakes lock up on wet surfaces during braking resulting in a loss of control. One time nearly slid into a curb sideways. Another time nearly slid into oncoming cross traffic at an intersection. Several times the Durango has slid in wet parking lots.

Air Brake Antilock problem #3

Anti-lock system failed.
