Abs brake system broke at about 13000 miles. Olympic Dodge says that I must replace both the left and right front spindles. That they are cracked. I brought the car into the dealer on 07/10/2002. They have ordered the parts which cost over $300. 00. How can 2 spindles fail at the same time. How can they fail with only 13000 miles on the odometer.

Going down the highway at 65 mph, I put on my cruise control, the car in front of me slowed down so I pushed on my brake, which was supposed to eliminate cruise sontrol immediately. My cruise light went off but the car continued to accelerate. Applied brake harder, realized there was no stopping, pulled over to break down lane. Applied emergency brake, ended up with just sqealing tires and transmission shifting horribly. Let me just note that at this time I also had my 10 year old daughter in the car. Thank god a state police pulled up behind me, at which time I had the car at 10mph but would not come to a complete stop. My 10 year old child had to jump from my car to let the officer know why I couldn't stop. He ended up having to pull in front of me and slow down to about nothing to finally stop my car at which point he got out , came to my window and told me to turn off the engine. In this form I could not fill out the appropriate VIN, etc. Because my car was towed and I am with a friend in mass. I will be contacting the dealer and Dodge company on Monday. Very scary experience for me and especially for my child. Maine state police was obviously involved. His name was roger.

I had tried several times to contact the additional insurance and the dealers and no one ever responded to me. . I replaced the brakes also before I had the accident.
