Example complaints

“The brakes in the 1999 Dodge durango failed while trailing a y boat. I had the truck flat bed to the service station. I was lucky that this happened at the boat ramp so no accident occurred and no one was hurt. I had to have the entire front and rear brake lines replaced. They were completely rotted. I don't think that a truck that is 8 years old should have brakelines rotted as bad as these were. The mechanic said they were the worst he had ever seen. I had him save some of the old brakeline for me. …”

NHTSA complaint #10002087, filed 2003-01, 50,815 miles“When pulling trailer brakes went completely out the first time I stepped on the brake pedal, the second time I applied the brakes, the front right passenger tire totally locked up and put a flat spot on tire. I took it to the dealer & they say everything checked out fine. It did this all the way home from our trip. Furthermore, the truck has always had a steering problem, it wanders. The fog lights stopped working shortly after I got the truck as well & the dealer replaced the switch.”
NHTSA complaint #739502, filed 2001-01“The consumer stated that his front brakes failed twice. The problem would occur on wet slippery roads when the brakes were applied and would pull to the side so hard that one must control the vehicle from spinning out.”
