general problems of the 2000 Dodge Stratus

Ok my car makes a humming noise when I hit the brakes hard. Its a loud humming sounds. I thought it just might be something wrong (everyday thing) but when I got another car that did the same thing it made me wonder. . . Something must be defected. My last car was totaled. Someone pulled out in front of me. . And I sometimes think that the brake system had a defect. It seemed like for ever for my car to stop at low speed even. And the humming noise bothers me, its scary. I think its dangerous and it must be on more cars if this is my 2nd car with the same problem. 2000 Dodge Stratus. Please contact me and let me know. . . Ps. . . I recently got this car (after I found out my other one got totaled) and I don't know of any past recalls that might have been done. Thanks for your time! -robert mcfadden ps. . . Please let me know something!.

Possible brake defect in 2000 Dodge Stratus. There was a noise in the brake system. When the vehicle was started from cold, the brakes squeaked. After every start from stop, the vehicle pulled to the right. The dealer stated it was normal. This occurred intermittently in the front wheel linings at medium speeds when applied light to medium. This also occurred in the rear brakes.

I have had this car since oct. Of 2000 and about four months later, I was in an auto accident that was the other vehicle's fault. Ever since then my brakes have not worked properly I have taken it to the dealer 4-5 times for vehicle failure to not stop in enough time and pulsating. The first two times I took it to the dealer they claimed the couldn't find anything even with a test drive. The third time they claimed my brakes were bad and replaced the brakes and not the rotors. After that the pulsating was not as noticeable for a few weeks then it was back to the way it was before. I had the dealer check them one or two more times and again they said nothing was wrong. Shortly after that I had a small fender bender due to brakes not stopping my vehicle properly. I have to have my front and rear brakes changed twice a year, the front brakes go like they are made of paper, the rear brakes wear on one side more than the other. My outer tie rod have been replaced twice because they were broken, the rotors have been replaced 3 times. For the past two winters when I first start my car and turn the steering wheel, it screeches so loud and pops I think my tires are going fall off. I have two small children and find this very unsafe. When I have to come to a stop I have to almost stand on the brake pedal to make sure I stop in time. It is not always like this but 90-95% of the time it is and I know that my car is not the only one that this happens to.
