Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brake rotors very rusted and disintegrating with metal flaking off and had to be replaced with less than 30,000 miles. i did not experience any warping of the rotors or shaking of vehicle when braking as others have. the badly deteriorated rotors were discovered when i took the vehicle in for routine maintenance for a cross country trip. after reading other similar reports regarding the brake rotors on 2001 dodge dakotas, it appears that daimler-chrysler has a problem with these brake parts and has not addressed the problem. *ak
