I TOOK THIS TRUCK BACK 12-10-15 AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE NEAR ACCIDENT MY WIFE AND I HAD ON 12-01-15 MAKING AN EMERGENCY STOP. THIS TRUCK (TRAVELED 15FT.) AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES BEFORE IT STARTED BRAKING TO STOP THIS VEHICLE AND WE WERE 3FT. AWAY FROM MAKING CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW TO ME THIS IS SERIOUS AND WE ARE AFRAID OF THIS VEHICLE IN EMERGENCY STOPS. IT HAS HAD POOR STOPPING BEFORE BUT NEVER LIKE THIS. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES BUT, CONTACTING CHRYSLER YOU CAN GET INTO A LOT OF CONVERSATION BUT NOT MUCH ACTION.
