| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Front brakes on 2003 dodge ram 1500 quad cab developed major pulsation and decreased stopping ability at 6500 miles. returned vehicle to dealer and was informed that the front rotors were indeed warped and replaced under warranty. seems to be an all to common problem with the complaints seen on this site and beleive that the nhtsa should look very hard into these problems before someone gets seriously injured or killed. how many complaints does it take to get involved? after the new car warranty is up at 12k miles it will become the owners expense for these "wear items" and strongley urge nhtsa to investigate these sub-standard components and demand dodge to correct the problem and extend warranty period to at least 36,000 miles and prorate the difference for all subsequent brake jobs for existing new car purchasers based on what they publish for brake service mileage. *ak |
