SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAD MY BRAKES OVERHAULED AND HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS EXCHANGED BECAUSE OF A DEFECT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW ABOUT BUT FAILED TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS. THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE MACHINED TO SUCH CLOSE TOLORANCES, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED AT THE FIRST REPAIRS. I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE PEOPLE WHOM HAVE HAD THEM CHANGED AT LESS THAN 30 K MILES. I FEEL AN RECALL SHOULD BE MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE EXTRA MONEY REFUNDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.*AK

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR LOVED ONES IN YOUR DODGE VEHICLE YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE BRAKES THE NEXT TIME YOU STOP. BUT THIS WOULD BE YOUR FAULT NOT DODGES.*AK
