Description of the problem | Truck brakes continue to go soft. The dealer(s) have worked on the brakes. Changed master cylinder. At low speeds the pedal goes to the floor, but not every time. Now the brakes are simply slow to engage. Feels like you are going to put your foot through the floor. Of course, the dealer has only been able to replicate the problem once! Any other reports of problems? Solutions? Not comfortable driving the vehicle. Have had to take the shoulder several times to avoid collisions. Just started the legal route since chrysler has been less than cooperative. *ak |
