The pads still had over 50% left on them when they came apart. I still have the pads!.
Right front brakes make a clanking noise while driving. Noise stops when applying brakes. Vehicle been in / out of dealer shop on three occasions, and problem is still occurring. Provide further details.
When brakes are applied vehicle would pull to the right. Sometimes will also pull to the left. Had taken vehicle to dealer at least 6 times & problem still not solved. Was told design flaw. In addition, fron t brakes rotors/pads & torsion bar were replaced due to severe brake pulling. Was TSB on brake pulling.
The truck has had chronic brake pull problems - either to the right or left side. The dealer hasn't been responsive to resolve the problem in question. No parts were replaced by the dealer; Chrysler has been very unresponsive to the problem. The pull is so bad that the truck will actually change lanes while braking. I am not sure if NHTSA really does anything, but if they stand for safety, then this problem should be very seriously looked into. Many other people have complained about this same problem. .

I have had many attempts to fix the problem on the front end fixed, because I have been told the rear brake adjusters dont work( dot number: ).
