1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2006

The steering in this vehicle is terrible when braking,the dashboard is craked and broken very bad in several places Dodge wants to do nothing about these problems. When I apply the brakes the vehicle pulls very hard,this is not an allignment I have had that done changed the rotors the whole 9 yards still the same problem. The dash started out as a little crack now it is broken in several places. This is ridiculous. I will never purchase another Dodge they dont stand behind there vehicles.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2003

When applying brakes vehicle pulls sharply to the left. Was in 6 times for repair. They couldn't fix it and expected me to pay for their experiments to try to fix it. The Chrysler rep tried to get out of paying under warranty. Finally fixed. Have driven truck about 1200 miles now and starting to pull again! brakes lock-up in a stern attempt to stop. Anti-lock brakes are a joke.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2001

Had a flat tire and could not get the rims off the wheel hub--went to dealer and he said to get under vehical and hit rims with a sledge hammer---this has been ongoing since 2001--right now going thru this problem again after dealer said that it was fixed.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2000

Vehicle pulls to the right when braking. Had it in to dealer to many times to count. No luck with anything they've done. Was surprised to see how many other "victims" have the same problem. Hope there's a permanent fix. It will probably take a death or two to get some one off their butt and fix this.
