I have had 3 failures of my front brakes. The first time was within a week of purchasing the truck. The second brake failure was 6 months later at approx. 18,000 miles and the third failure was at approx. 34,000 miles on Oct. 1st 2000. I have taken the vehicle back to Dodge and they have reported nothing wrong with the brakes. An independent mechanic looked at the brakes and said there appears to be something wrong with the calipers. The truck pulls violently to the left when the brakes are applied and I've also had the front brakes lock up.

Anti-lock brakes are designed for the rear wheels only. The front brakes do not have anti-lock brakes. If driving in snow or ice and applying the brakes, front brakes lock up. Rear brakes will release, allowing engine power to go to the rear wheels, and continue to power the vehicle forward. Very dangerous to drive on snow/ice. Parked vehicle under these conditions. Consumer has filed a report with NHTSA auto safety hotline line. Also, the dealership Chrysler/Dodge has not corrected the problem.
