SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME ON AN EXIT RAMP. FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT BARKE ROTORS ARE WARPED. MY WIFE WAS INFORMED BY DODGE THAT THIS SHIMMY WE WERE FEELING AS WE APPLIED THE BRAKES WAS THE ABS ENGAGING. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALERSHIP, WE WERE INFORMED THE PROBLEM IS WARPED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 12000 MILES, WE NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS! THE LEATHER SEATING IN THE REAR IS 'DELAMINATING.' (I DON'T KNOW OF A BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT). THE REAR AUTOMATIC HATCH DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY OPEN. THIS TOO IS A RECURRING PROBLEM.
