Description of the problem	We were driving on the freeway when a strong odor was coming into the vehicle. I pulled off on the next exit ramp to check were the smell was coming from. The back rotor failed (locked up), on the rear drivers side, turning the rotors white hot and causing them to smoke. Drove vehicle home after a half hour and vehicle was fine but this keeps occurring for the next two months every time the vehicle is driven over 15 minutes. Bring vehicle into dodge dealership and ask why the braking system keeps failing and the told me a tsb has been issued and is a known problem. Dealership stated they are having numerous problems with the brakes on this model. They agreed to replace the front brake pads/rotors for $100 but i had to pay to have the rear brakes/rotors replaced. It is now two weeks later and i am having the same problems with the rear brakes !!!!!!!!!!! I have never experienced so many problems with a vehicle as this vehicle. Five recalls and various other issues with this poc !!!!!!!!!!! There are numerous complaints about the brakes of this vehicle please google and see for yourself. The brakes on this vehicle need to be recalled before someone is killed..... Please look into this issue and have the brakes on this vehicle recalled before someone dies !!!!!!!!!!! I have three children and do not feel safe in this vehicle but like most americans i can not afford to purchase another new vehicle !!!!!!!! This is a major safety issue !!!! I have bailed out dodge twice now and no more..... Start protecting the consumer and not corporate america !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!! *js
