When applying the brakes vehicle pulsated/vibrated. Consumer drove vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced due to corrosion.
The brake system on my 2001 Durango consistently has given me problems even after two changes on the pads. My Durango only has 30,000 miles on it and I keep it up to date according to the manufacture. The paint job on the vehicle which was brand new has faded near the fender walls and the door jams. I love this vehicle but am disappointed with the quality of the most important things in a vehicle; overall appearance.
A technician serviced the truck. The technician inspected the brakes and noticed that the brake rotors were fine but the brake pads were pitted. The vehicle has less then 30,000 miles on it.
When the brakes were depressed suddenly or hard they would not hold and the vehicle would skid. The abs drums were warped but the pads were not worn per the dealership. .
