Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
Owner Narrative
THE BRAKES SHAKE HORRIBLY AND HAVE SINCE ABOUT A 11,000 MILES, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT, REPLACED A FAULTY CALIPER I ORDERED IN JANUARY IN JULY. I BELIEVE THE REASON I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP FAST ENOUGH IN THE ACCIDENT IN OCTOBER WAS BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED TO GRAB COMPLETELY. I WOULD NOT BE SUCH A BIG DEAL MY THIS DODGE DEALER TREATS ME AS AN IGNORAMUS, THEY DID OFFER TO UPGRADE MY BRAKES FOR ONLY 250 A SIDE, WHICH SEEMS SILLY SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. IT STILL HAS THE $100 DED WARRANTY FOR 100000 MILES. *JB
