Please note this was a rented 15 passenger Dodge van I'm 90% sure it was a 97 if not it was from 1995 to 2000 in model year I reported it to Dodge. Just recently I became aware of your site and decided to report it to you also. 1 normal driving boston to eastern kentucky 2 front disc brake hose severed due to proximity of other suspension components consequence loss of all braking capability. 3 local mechanic installed new hose he connected it to the font disc brake and routed it away from suspension components to prevent it from happening again.

After the brakes have been rebuilt there is still chatter from one or more wheels which can be felt by noticeable lunges when slowing to a stop and when coming into curves on mountain highways. Nlm.
