SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN TRYING TO STOP, THE BRAKES SEEM TO GRAB AND THEN THE CAR SLIDES AND THEN THE BRAKES WOULD GRAB AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES AND RESULTED IN CONCERN RE: THE SAFETY OF THE BRAKES. SOMETIMES THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND AFTER THIS HAPPENS. THEREFORE THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DODGE DEALER TO HAVE THE BREAKS CHECKED AND NO PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED. BUT ON 4/7/01, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, A LOUD ROARING SOUND OCCURED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE AS IF THERE WERE NO BRAKES, WHICH CAUSED A COLLISION INTO THE REAR OF A VEHICAL AT A STOPLIGHT. THE NOISE CONTINUED AFTER THE COLLISION FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, FOLLOWED BY A STRONG BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO A PARKING LOT AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN HOME AND DOES HAVE BRAKING ACTION NOW. *AK

TIRES
MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE AZ 101 FREEWAY SOUTHBOUND IN THE 'FAST LANE" WHEN THE TWO LEFT SIDE TIRES, FRONT AND REAR, BLUE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN TWO COMPLETE REVOLUTIONS AND END UP IN THE CENTER LANE IN A NORTHBOUND DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN OVER, BUT MY DAUGHTER DID SUFFER A CONCUSSION, BRUISED CHEST, WHIPLASH AND INJURIES TO HER HIP. SHE IS CURRENTLY RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENT. SINCE THE ACCIDENT WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT ANOTHER OF THE TIRES HAS A PIECE OF THE TREAD ABOUT THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR, THAT HAS LIFTED FROM THE CENTER PART OF THE TIRE CASING. MY DAUGHTER IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE DODGE, OR OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BECAUSE OF THE GOODYEAR TIRES. (TIRESIZE: R275/60R17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: R275/60R17 )
