Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving over 40 MPH, suddenly brakes get spastic, they are trying to brake as I am driving on expressway. This problem wore out completely the brakes and calipers at 18000 miles. Got new brakes (Dodge regulation) and now same thing happened on expressway while driving over 45mph. I need to drive on x-ways.”
NHTSA complaint #11082007, filed 2018-03, 2,000 miles“My brakes begin failing on saturday 8/3/2019. It has been determined that the master cylinder and the booster are bad on the vehicle. This is a major safety concern to me”
NHTSA complaint #11241687, filed 2019-08, 154,000 miles“10/19/2019, vehicle stationary: the driver's side rear caliper froze in the full-on position when lightly using the emergency brake. I was just a mile from home and drove it to my garage (less that 30 MPH). It was dangerously hot and would have caused a fire and major breakdown had I been on my 18-hour freeway commute. I jacked up the rear, removed the tire and saw that the e-brake spring had not returned the caliper to the brake off position. I was able to return it by lightly tapping the e-brake lever to the off position. At that point the brake caliper mostly worked as it should. …”

It severely impacted her ability to brake safely. She was driving on a city road at about 45 MPH when this happened. I took the van to golling chyrsler, Dodge jeep dealership hoping that they would cover it under warranty. The van is not even 3 years old but it has 50,000 miles on it so there reply was you should've bought and extended warranty. Their diagnosis was the power brake booster went bad and needs to be replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10935466, filed 2016-12, 53,000 miles“I was driving down the road and without warning, multiple warning lights appeared on the dash/warning alarms sounded. I immediately lost brakes and power steering. The vehicle did nothing when pushing on gas or brake. I was able to pull off the road and slow the vehicle to a stop. I turned it off and then was unable to start the van. It would not turn over, not even to roll up the windows. The van sat approximately 45 minutes while waiting for a tow. After that time, I was able to restart the van. The malfunction indicator light remained on after starting the van. …”
