Braking system on this vehicle is sub standard for stoping, on a emergency stop the brake pedal goes to the floor, but will not stop as it should. Was in an accident the other day, that could have been prevented it the brakes worked as they should, I have a (2002) darango and the braking sysem is like night a day virs the dakoda.
