“Brake lines in engine bay on passenger side are routed too close to the exhaust manifold causing the insulation to melt.

The mechanic noted that this could be a serious safety issue due to boiling brake fluid and recommend getting this fixed at Dodge under warranty as soon as possible.”
NHTSA complaint #11413229, filed 2021-04, 11,910 miles“Stock, factory built, rear brake pad surface area is substantially different than the rear rotor diameter. Sweep of brake pad is substantially narrower than the rotor. This is causing an improper wear pattern on rotor. Reduces stopping force and will create a ridge in the rotor. This ridge will make future replacement brake pads incompatible, and could affect brake system performance negatively.”
