“my dodge Hornet is involved in this recall. The area that the bolt is to be place to satisfy the recall looks like a bolt should have been placed there and it was left out!!! According to the service bulletin there is NO drilling required to add this solution. I feel that this situation should looked into further.”

“Back when I bought this vehicle in November, I noticed an excessively loud noise when breaking. This noise takes place when it’s cold and or wet (snow makes it worse). I have contacted 2 Dodge dealership and both claim nothing is wrong. After months of hearing this horrific sound when it’s cold and or wet, I contacted Dodge themselves to get this resolved. Dodge has the absolute worst customer service and finally after 3 weeks, have agreed to have my car looked at by a Dodge tech. …”

“No component or system failed during my drive. However, I rented this car from Budget in Waldorf, MD for 8 days to drive from MD to Orlando, FL. I informed the rental company that there was a recall on the brake pads as the warning popped up on the welcome screen when starting the vehicle. The rental company refused to follow their policy by renting a recalled vehicle and did nothing to remedy besides offer a low discount. With the chance of failing brakes, I purchased myself and my children flights home.”
