Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2005 dodge dakota 4x4 v-6 purchased new. recurrent brake issues starting immediately after purchase, five visits to the dealer, each more involved then the last, culminating in having all brakes replaced (supposedly) with rear axles included (bent from factory we were informed). the violent pulsating is back again exactly the same as before and getting progressively worse. this cannot be an isolated incident as we were informed by a "tech" that the rear brake replacements were shipped in a vacuum sealed clamshell with carboard backing! this truck is literally getting to the point where i will not let my wife drive it for fear that she will be hurt in a panic stop situation. it is scheduled for another visit but is now past warranty... my interest is in whether there are other complaints such as this and if there is a recall pending... *jb
