| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2002 dodge ram quad 1500. i just had it serviced for its 30,000 miles maintenance required. while i was there i also had them look at the front brakes because of a vibration i would get when applying the brakes.*ak was told upon inspection of the brakes, that the rotors where warped. this doesn't make any sense to me only 30,000 miles on the truck still have full brake pads on front. i was told that it happens sometimes when towing trailers or heavy loades where the trailer has no braking system. i don't tow trailers. it was also suggested that the way i drive is the problem. if this was the problem there should be some ware on the brake pads? they also told me that they have seen trucks like mine with as little as 11,000 miles with the same problem. i said there must be some kind of defect with this braking system. he told me no that the brakes where big enought for the truck but that they where badly designed which causes them to heat up and warp the rotors. i know i'm probably wasting my time sending this to you. but i've been driving for some time now i'm 53 years old. i have never in all my driving had to even replace brakes before 40,000 miles let alone rotors. i think that they have a seriour problem here with these brakes. i just hope that something can be done before some one gets hurt or even dies because of brake system failure. |
