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.
While driving 40-45 mph consumer applied brakes, pedal went to floor. Took vehicle to dealer, who found front driver's side rotors had split in half. Dodge claimed this was due to salt corrosion. Dealer replaced both front rotors. Consumer states brakes had pulsated slightly for a few days, but worked properly with no pull to either side, rotor split while going downhill with a 90 degree right turn at the bottom, luckily consumer was able to downshift enough to make the corner.
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.
ABS: Brake shoes and pads have adjustment problem; causes pads to wear out prematurely; results in extended stopping; replaced 4 times within 38,000 miles.
