Front right brake caliper keeps pulling shortly after replacement. 4 have been replaced. Sometimes a very strong pull where steering is pulled from hands. Especially dangerious when pulling a travel trailer. -- fuel cell has a badly worn sleeve which causes floating suction to hang up causing air suction and running out of fuel at 1/2 tank plus or minus.

When applying brakes vehicle will pulls hard to left. Dealer has resurfaced front brakes, and flushed master cylinder and its lines, but defect keeps reoccurring.

Excessive pedal effort required to stop vehicle in normal braking situations. Front brakes smoke during hard stops or in stop and go traffic. It also gives off a burning smell. Brought back to dealer 2 times and they state that it is "normal". I just found out that in 1997, Dodge changed the master cylinder on this truck to a larger unit. The rest of the brake system components are the same. I would think that this would solve my problem.

While driving and applying the brakes there is a loud noise and the front brakes pads are gone completely and the rotors are in bad shape. Contacted the manufacturer and they won't fix the vehicle unless the consumer pays for the repairs.
