| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 dodge dakota [xxx]. i now have 40,000 miles on it. my front brakes (disc) needed to be replaced three times due to pulsating. this pulsating is attributed to rotors warping. the rotor warping is caused by too much heat friction in the front braking system. as a result, the rotors warp causing a substantial loss in braking power. the ball joints and control arms were also replaced under warranty because they were 'loose' and they made a clunking sound often. since the parts were replaced, the same sound still occurs leading me to believe that the oem parts are faulty. i do not use this vehicle for medium or heavy loads at any time; i do, however, use this vehicle under normal driving conditions in the capacity of a passenger vehicle.*ak updated 07/24/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
