“Had to make a sudden stop and ABS system was dangerously slow to engage, release and re-engage. Brake pedal went all the way down to the floor and barely stopped before hitting vehicle in front of me. Have replace all calipers and pads both front and back. Still having problems ...I drive daily back and forth to work and most of the time I have to start braking way before I get to a stop.”

NHTSA complaint #10235884, filed 2008-07, 58,000 miles“It started with a soft bell sound (e.g.like when you open a door), doors locking and unlocking, small light on the 4 x 4 knob going off and on, console light turning on and off and the 4 x 4 system was not working. All issues started a couple of months prior to 1/7/14. It was worked on by Dodge of woodbury, nj during the 1/7/14 week. Now, (5/12/15) there is a bell sound again on and off. Not sure if the 4 x 4 is working since I've had no need to use it. However, this is an electrical issue that is not going away fully!”
