Driving to the grocery store about 30 mph needing to brake and the front brakes were gone. Right front caliper bolt broke thread and the caliper came off the spindle, steering caused more grinding and then I thought of the emergency/parking brake. I have replaced the same spindle before, but parts are not available now or before. I can';T find a used/new spindle to repair it and it just passed inspection.

The contact owns a 1999 Dodge Dakota. The contact stated that while he was replacing the front passenger's side brake pads when he removed the caliper pin and noticed it was stripped. The contact replaced the pin three different times however, the failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis, who stated that the steering knuckle would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 185,000.
