1st brake failure, 15,000 miles, second at 40,000 miles. Engineering defect, not enough surface area to compensate for cab forward design. Many of your complaints about anti-lock brakes have nothing to do with the hydraulics. Lets get this recalled before some one gets killed. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over artemis**725472.

I have had the brakes fail on my Stratus 5 times so far (and counting) to the point where I had no breaking power and was forced to use the parking brake on all occasions to stop the vehicle in time before crashing into other vehicles. On all occasions I have been driving at low speeds, on dry roads, for generally only 15 -30 minutes after getting into the vehicle. The dealer has looked at it and found no diagnosable problem. I am having them look at it one more time next week and then if it is not fixed, I will have the nh motor vehicle arbitration board arbirtrate to get me a new vehcile.

The brakes on my car were squeaking about every other time I braked from the time I got the car, and the dealer could never duplicate the problem, until I had brought my car in for the six time and the brakes were squeaking as I pulled into the shop. The dealer replace my brakes at around about 5000 miles. I informed the dealer that when ever I drove my car and parked it, not only was the brakes still squeeking, but I also would get burning smell coming from the rear left wheel. I took the car back over 5 to 6 times and they still could not smell or dulicate the problem. I contacted daimler Chrysler and inform them of the problems I was having with my brakes and the dealer not being able to find a problem, their suggestion was to take my car to another dealer since it is still under warranty. I was told by this dealer that my brakes were going to squeek, because they had to switch materials, that it road salt, it dirt from the road. I was given so many bogus excuses, that I decided to try another way. I need help. I afraid to drive my car because my brakes has already failed to stop my car once.
