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.
Hard brake line for rear brakes broke where corroded when I depressed the brake pedal causing me to loose brake pressure and caused my brakes not to work narrowly avoiding an accident.
Intermittently, and an on-going problem when applying brakes. The pedal would go to the floor and causes pulsation and extended stopping distance. The vehicle has been at the dealership on different occasion replaced the master cylinder. The extended stopping distance recurred.
Brake failed which resulted in an accident. No air bag deployment. The seat belt saved the consumer's life. Mr ph. Also the spare tire was bald and it took 3 months to get it replaced.
The distance in which vehicle needs to stop is longer than other similar vehicles. It is most noticeable in moderate to hard braking. When the brakes are applied, the pedal feel is average but the brakes do not seem to grab and stop the vehicle as it should. I have had numerous close accidents due to poor braking. The brakes do not lock-up on the vehicle, not even to the point where ABS will need to release the rear wheels. I have completely replaced all brake components and has not improved at all!! as well as spend hundreds of dollars on diagnostics work with no answer as to the cause (but the dealer does know there is a problem)!! this is not the fault of the dealer, they have been fair, but have run out of places to look. They have called Chrysler star hotline, etc. But still no resolve. If anyone has a fix for this or a course of action to take, please let me know! I love the truck, but it is extremely dangerous to drive.
Consumer states his brakes continue to go out on him. He states that he was told that the hub assembly causes the brakes to go out. This has happened to him 3 times and he is on his 4th time. There is no recall for this problem. He also states this is getting very expensive.
Vehicle pulls to the right when applying the brakes. After a repair attempt, the brakes locked (in wet conditions) and a pallet in back of the truck was thrown into the cab.
