Brake line between gas tank and frame of car had rubbed a pin hole in line because of tight fit, I guess. Gas tank had to be dropped to find problem, master cylinder was replaced first thinking this was the problem but, it wasn't.

I have a 2003 Dodge stratusni just brought the car not even a year ago and I am having a popping noise when I turn my wheel. The noise has been going on for the last couple of months I have taken my car to the dealer that I got the car from and they can not seem to fix the problem. Also my brakes are making a noise as well. This type of problem should not be happening and I have not had the car for a year yet. I have talked with daimer and they just took a complaint but I need some action no seems to care.

When the brakes were applied, the vehicle experienced extended stopping distance.. the rotors had to be turned before 4000 miles.

- Nashville, TN, USA

The brakes made a grinding noise when depressed which was either caused by the calipers or the brake hose collapsing per the mechanic. The rotors were turned, however it did not remedy the grinding noise, extended stopping distance and a smell of metal rubbing when braking. Dealership was not willing to assist.
