This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have had problems with the right front brakes, there is a clicking noise and I have had to have the brakes cleaned and serviced, and rotors turned. Now a new rotor on the front left. I have had this to the dealer from the first week I had the truck, Dodge cannot fix the problem and say there is nothing wrong. However I feel there is a problem when I have to have brake work done 4 times in 4 months. The brakes are extremely important on an automobile, and I feel that there is a problem and can eventually cause a serious and life threatining accident.
Brakes pulsate during medium application. Dealer found rotors warped and required milling and shoe replacement. Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me and a posible safety problem but dealer says its a wear item. The shoes still had 75%+ of the pad left. I see several complaints like this one here.
Front disc brakes will heat up and separate in half and half of the brakes will fall out due to the separation causing complete failure of brakes.dlr claims it is glue that separates due to the heat. Consumer replaced front disc brakes but defect will reoccur. So far consumer has replaced it 3 times and it will only last about 3 months.
I complained about a vibration during braking, was told the rotors and pads were warped, I had them resurfaced at $350 and less than a month later I am having the same problem... all this at 19,000 miles (all highway miles) Chrysler says it's not a warranty item......
