SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
VEHICLE EXHIBITED SEVERE FRONT END PROBLEM 2 WEEKS FROM PURCHASE. THE TRUCK SEVERLY PULLS TO THE LEFT UPON BRAKING AND THE FRONT END SHAKES MAKING THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL. 8+ ATTEMPTS HAVE MADE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BUT IT STIL PERSISTS. DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP IN THIS SITUATION EVEN AFTER BEING CONTACTED BY ATTORNEYS, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEAR FOR MY HUSBAND AND HIS PASSANGERS LIVES. WE ARE FINCANCING THIS VEHICLE AND ONLY ASK THEM TO BREAK THE CONTRACT, RETURN OUR DEPOSIT AND TAKE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE HEARD SOME TALK OF SOMEONE OUT IN CALIFORNIA, REFABRICTING THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY OTHER TRUCK OWNERS THAT HAVE ALSO HEARD THIS? THE BRAKE CALIPERS ON THIS 1999 DODGE, ARE ALMOST HAVE THE SIZE OF THE BRAKE CALIPERS ON MY 1992. THE BRAKES PULL HARD TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKING AT ANY SPEED, ESPECIALLY DURING RAIN. VERY VERY DANGEROUS WHEN RAINY WEATHER. DEALER HAS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD WITH ME IN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED. EVEN THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL HAVE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TOO. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT, AND FILE A LAWSUIT TO MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN? WHY WAIT TIL ONE IS DEAD, TAKE ACTION NOW, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN!! LETS START A CHAT SECTION, GET EVERYONE TOGETHER!!!*AK
