| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When braking a highway speeds, the braking system has a severe shutter. i have taken it to the dealership and they could not find any issues. they did, however, turn the front rotors. the problem is in the rear brakes. i can tell when the front has a problem. it is a different feel. my 2001 dakota had exactly the same issue and they could never find a problem with it either. the dealership says it is normal. the anti-lock brakes in the rear are what causes the problem. they know of no way to fix it. i put in the "number of failures" that there have been 481 failures, since that is how long i have had the vehicle and it occurs daily. it was extremely rare for it to happen until it had about 15,000 mi. on it and i can work the brakes and get it to stop if i don't have to stop fast. i had the worst issue this morning coming to work. i had a vehicle run a stop sign and i had to do a panic stop from 65 mph and the truck shook so bad i did not think it was going to stop. i have just gotten frustrated and lived with this problem, since i get told it is just normal anti-lock brakes............not likely!!!!! also, i noticed there is a daimler/chrysler service bulletin on this problem. it is #0500405 dated 05/10/2006. since my last experience with the dealership, i have just stayed away, so i have not been told about this service bulletin. *tr |
