Consume R has only 39,000 miles on vehicle, and has replaced the brakes.dealer said that warranty has been voided because consumer had paid to have it fixed somewhere else. Manufacture was called also to see if the VIN# was matched to a recall. Was informed no recall.

I have a long history of reporting serious major safety component problems and failures to Chrysler on both of my vehicles. My vehicles have been in three accidents resulting from failed safety components. Each time after the accident, the dealer was able to find the problem and correct it. However, this has never happened before the accident. In the case of the brake line failure it involves every 1195 BR2500 hd pickup truck. Chrysler found and corrected the problem at some point because the replacement part is designed to reduce the bends which cause the line to rub against the wheel rim on turns. I have experienced thousands of dollars in damages that were caused by Chrysler. How do I get my money back?
This vehicle, and others of same model and year, have chronically weak braking. Have discussed it several times with dealer; no remedies offered. Nearly unable to stop at moderate speeds much of the time. Seems to get somewhat better after repeated usage. I consider it to be unsafe with normal driving practices.
While driving the vehicle consumer tried to make a sudden stop by depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle continued to travel, lost control, resulting in a crash/injuries.
Brakes started scrapping and making noise, the inside pads on front were grounded into the rotor, metal against metal, dealer contacted and cannot duplicate the problem. Consumer made repairs, contacted manufacturer and they cannot duplicate the problem.
Whenever the brakes are applied, the rear brakes lock up. When tapping brakes a few times, brakes lock up. If letting up off brakes, would work fine. It only happens intermittently. Will be taking vehicle to dealer.
Whenever brake pedal is pressed downward to slow or stop vehicle, it would not stop. Vehicle would coast, instead. Took to dealer & service manager said that the brakes had faded. The brakes were a constant problem. Had the brake pads replaced, but the problem was not solved.
When the brakes are applied they grab. The rear brakes release, causing the front brakes to do all of the work, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has replaced the rear wheel cylinders and the power booster. The dealer has been made aware of the existing problem.
When the brakes are applied the rear brakes do not stop, causing the front brakes to do all of the work to stop the vehicle, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has replaced the rear wheel cylinders.
Driving at approx 55 mph went to push brakes, pedal went to floor, no brakes, no rotors. Had to pull emergency brake in order to stop. There was no warning. Mechanic repaired vehicle, replaced all new brakes, new rotors also replaced.
