I was traveling at 25 mph and approx. 100 feet behind other cars when someone about 10 cars ahead made a hard stop causing everyone behind them to do the same. I heard at least three cars tires screaching to a stop in front of me. When I applied my brakes in my 2002 Dodge Durango with brake pedal pushed down as far as it would go and as hard as I could the truck slowed to about 5 mph with everything loose in the truck flying foward, but the truck did not stop. For the last 30 feet it just kept going at 5 mph and I hit the rear of of a 97 Honda accord. The tires never locked up or did I feel any anti-lock pulsation in the brake pedal as I have on other vehicles. I had no control in this accident. If I had not had 4 wheel anti-lock brakes I would have been able to stop. Something is wrong with the braking system on this truck! but the dealer said everything was normal. People are going to be killed if this problem is not dealt with. The Honda I hit suffered heavy damage because of the height differance in bumpers. My truck was not as bad. My auto insurace rate will be going up from what I believe I could not have prevented. Thank goodness no body was hurt.
The abs system will not allow for an emergency stop. The "cycle" time is very long between brake application on a dry road. Sometimes the brake pedal will go all the way to the floor and no brakes applied. Have had to steer sharply to avoid other cars, can not rely on the brakes to sop every time.
2002 Dodge Durango.
When applied brakes to stop with plenty of distance and not a sudden stop, it kept on rolling nearly rear ending the car in front of us. We finally stopped about an inch from the car in front of us. It seems like the brakes were not working.
When having to stop when someone stops in front of you and put on your brakes all of a sudden, I have no brakes. My husband has already had 1 wreck and I have almost had 3. Last Friday while traveling to work a truck pulling a utility trailer suddenly stopped in front of me and I had to hit my brakes, when I did they went directly to the floor and since I wasn't real close I finally did stop about 2 inches from the utility trailer. When this happens and I put my brakes on I push the brake pedal down and hold it. But there are no brakes, it tries to brake but the pedal just keeps on going to the floor. I noticed afterward that the brakes seem to readust themselves. Took vehicle to alexander Dodge and they looked a brakes but did not find anything. This is very dangerous, since this time I almost did not get stopped.
When the brakes were applied, the pedal traveled to the floor, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.
Consumer was driving and applied brakes suddenly. Brakes were functioning erratically and car would not stop, only "barely" slow down. Abs did not engage and consumer had to drive vehicle off the road to effectively slow it down. Dealer could not duplicate or diagnose problem. Ts.

When having to make a sudden stop, not quick enough to normally cause skidding, the anti lock breaks will engage and not release causing an extended stopping distance. About 50% of the time when the anti-lock breaks engage, the break peddle goes all the way to the floor and the vehicle will continue to roll. We have had this occur several times. We have had to avoid other vehicles to prevent an accident as well as have rolled through a few red lights. Each time the dealer does not find anything wrong with the vehicle. The replaced and adjusted the rear breaks once which did seem to help having the anti lock breaks engage so easily. Today it happened again and we had to swerve onto the curb to avoid rear ending a vehicle which resulted in a broken rim on the vehicle.
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock with rear abs only (2-wheel) when the abs system is activated the vehicle surges forward. It is as if the front brakes will not stop. This has been a problem sense the vehicle was new. When it was mention to the dealer they said that was how the abs system worked.
When stopping quickly, but not in a panic. The abs brake system will sometimes brake and release. When the brakes are no where near lockup. This has caused the me to come close to rear ending a vehicle in front of me that should have been a slightly faster stop than normal, but no where close to causing an accident. I would prefer no abs system if this system on the Durango is normal. No accidents for over 30 years, but two close calls with this vehicle. I know this is not normal for normal abs brakes. Dealer found no problems with the brakes. Dt.
