| Description of the problem | I was driving and the rear brakes seized. I pulled into my driveway and they were burning. I had complained to the dealer 2 months prior that i thought something was wrong with the brakes. I had a lot of pulsing in the steering wheel and didn't feel like i could stop quick enough. They said everything was okay. After the brakes seized on 6/28/12, i took it to the dealer and they said the rear brakes were all corroded. The rotors, brake pads and clips had to be all replaced. Months ago, dodge had put an additional warranty on the front brakes for this very reason (pre-mature corrosion) instead of doing a recall. But the back brakes were not covered. I searched the internet and other people have had the same experience with corroded rear brakes seizing at low mileage. Please look it in this. I didn't expect something like to happen on a vehicle with relatively low mileage. |
