I have a 2003 Dodge Durango it goes through rotors about every 18000 miles.
When applying the brakes pedal pulsates and the steering pulls the vehicle off the road. The part has been replaced five times. However, the problem recurred.
Under 12,000 miles the front rotors were resurfaced. At 19000 miles dealership resurfaced the rotors again. Dealership indicated to the consumer rotors needed to be replaced or resurfaced onc emore.
When braking brake pedal pulsated. Vehicle was taking to the deale, and dealer replaced both front rotors. Consumer was concerned that both rotors wore out prematurely at 16,000 miles.
I bought my 2003 Dodge Durango new in April 2003. In less than 12,000 miles, I had to have the brake rotors replaced 2 times. It now has 18,000 miles on it and the rotors are bad again. Only this time, they are not covered under warranty. I paid over $30,000 for this vehicle. I don't think I should have to pay to have the brakes replaced 2 times a year. This is very dangerous. I am very concerned that I will lose my brakes and get hurt or hurt someone. I saw your service bulletin # 0500703, brake shudder or vibration. This is exactly what my Durango is doing. I hope you can help with this dangerous situation. The exact dates that I have had the rotors replaced are unknown without checking with my dealer. The date below is an approximate for the last time. Thank you.
Brakes vibrate/shudder when slowing down at around 40 mph. First serviced at 10130 miles. Resurfaced rotors and replaced front pads. Service noted there was a TSB for vibration but no recall yet. Back to service for same problem at 17619 miles. Rear rotors warped and both were cut. Third time back for same problem at 21127 miles when I also took my Durango in for rear hatch door not locking. They noted the problem with the brakes again but I was instructed to take back to original dealer since they were first to work on the brake problem. I have not made it back to the original dealer for the 3rd time for repair.
