Brake failure at 60 km/h rear ended other vehicle.
My husband was driving our car and was approaching a red light,at 20 miles per hour. As the light changed to red he pressed down on the brakes and it did not slow down any, he proceeded to go through the light applying more pressure to the brakes which failed him. He left tire marks on the road for about 37 ft and ended up hitting a vehicle and in the end there were 4 vehicles total. I have researched on line and have found out that there have been problems with the rear brakes on Dodge Durango's that were made in 1999. Our Durango is a 2000 but was manufactured in December 1999. We feel that in light of this info, we should have recieved some form of recall letter from the dealers which we have not as yet. We are not sure of the total cost of the accident as yet, so the figures are just quotes so far.
I have had three incidents of brake failure with my 2000 (2wd, abs) Durango. One resulted in a three-car accident with a total of $38,000 (and still counting) damage.
Brakes intermittently failed, resulting in one crash. Brakes would not grab, and did not stop vehicle. Dealer and independent investigator could not determine cause.
When brake pedal was depressed while driving at 30 mph, abs brakes locked up, brakes failed to stop vehicle, resulting in extended stopping distance, and a rear end collision the brake skid mark was 20 feet long. Consumer felt that this failure was the same defect as stated in recall 99v341000 concerning rear brake tube.
