Brakes pulled hard right, replaced brakes and had them serviced, now they pull hard left. Requires major steering correction to maintain intended vehicle course. Occurrs every time brakes are applied, and I fear a collision every time I use the brakes. Servicing has not helped, problem lies within the design of the brake system.

While braking engine swerves and pulls to the right.
Brake system still not functioning correctly as of sept 12, 1999. In mediation with one dealership, waiting for reponse. Have been told by my mediator that this seems like a manufacturer's defect. In 2 dealerships 12 times for brakes. No one has fixed them properly yet. I've been told by mediator to find out if the newer models have the same problem. If not, what was done to correct problem. Can this be retrofitted to my vehicle. If nothing can be done to repair this vehicle I'm taking chrylser to court for a replacement. Please advise or comment.

Vehicle exhibited severe front end problem 2 weeks from purchase. The truck severly pulls to the left upon braking and the front end shakes making the vehicle hard to control. 8+ attempts have made to repair the problem but it stil persists. Daimler Chrysler will not help in this situation even after being contacted by attorneys, better business bureau and consumer affairs. This vehicle is very dangerous and I fear for my husband and his passangers lives.
