Example complaints

“Rear brake line blew at 142000 miles, front drivers side brake line blew at 143000 miles, Dodge should have used some kind of anti-corrosion lines, all the brake lines on my truck are very rusty, like they have been submerged in sea water. Google the problem, everyone has it. Dodge should issue a recall to address this dangerous problem. Lucky for me both times I was going slow enough to stop and not cause an accident. I now want to sell this vehicle as this is the 2nd such incident and looking at the brake lines, I will have to replace all of them. …”
