My 2005 Dodge Ram truck with 31,700 miles on it began shuttering and having braking problems. A Dodge dealership identified that both front rotors on the vehicle were warped and needed to be replaced. Replacement was required at my expense to correct although the vehicle was still under warranty. It was denied warranty replace due to being a brake component and subject to normal ware. The brake pads and brake components themselves still had 80% usage available. I disagree that front rotors should fail at 30K miles on a new vehicle but normal brake components do not. I consider this a defect in manufacturing and a safety concern.

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 P/U truck bought new in 12/2005...brought to dealer @ 5,655 miles with warped rotors, causing the truck to shake when braking. Brake rotors were cut...problem temporarily solved. Returned to dealer @ 9,712 miles....for the same problem. This time the rotors were replaced...but the original brake pads were re-installed. At 17,000 miles....trucks begins to shake again while braking... returned to the same dealer @ 20,727 miles...they said the front rotors were warped again...though it was out of warranty. After I expressed unhappiness with their answer, they did take another look at the vehicle. They said the front seemed to be ok....and now the rear rotors were warped, though of course it is not covered any longer by the factory warranty. At this point, the truck is 15 months old...has slightly over 20,000 miles and is not safe to drive...with no help from Dodge.

Truck was bought new with 42 miles and at 9K the brake rotors were replaced because of excessive wear. Again at 14K miles the brakes needed to be replaced, but this time the dealer refused to pay. The rotors only had 5K miles and 3 months. I spoke with chrylser, the general manager of the dealership, and the service manager and they are telling me this is normal wear and tear. I told them this was unacceptable that rotors were wearing out so quickly. I have made 3 attempts to fix the problem and it is still not fixed. I am comtemplating the next step in the repair process. Hopefully, the NHTSA can be of some assistance.
