On wet pavement, approaching stop sign or stop light, when applying the brakes normally, the brakes lock up, causing the vehicle to skid. Accidents have narrowly been avoided. The problem seems similar to the one that led to the recent recall of GM SUV's and other vehicles. The vehicle has been taken back to a Dodge dealer to be checked out, but they found nothing wrong.
- Kennesaw, GA, USA
Electrical system suddenly went out all gauges radio etc front area. Checked all fuses and nothing was burnt out. Restarted engine four times before reset and then was ok. Have had recurring locking of brakes and grinding lose of control at low speeds and on wet roads. Disc brakes have no wear indicators on pads and it resulted in being worn down and ate into the front rotors before I was aware that the pads were shot. I had to buy new rotors and pads and the replacement pads also did not have indicators. The dealer stated that was the way that they were manufatured and I then stated that this was a severe and potentially dangerous and deadly oversight and that it should be corrected. I contacted Chrysler and they stated that they had no recall on this and that they had no technical problems or bulletins on this. My battery also suddenly went out without any warning and it caused the engine to die. I could not restart the engine and a new battery had to be installed. Power windows went out and could not be opened or closed by drivers switch.
