| Description of the problem | Warped rotors at 9,000 and the front end jumps all over the road making it very dangerous to steer, the dealer resurfaced rotors and then at 13,000 miles it is happening again. We have complain several times about this and got no wear. Now that our warranty is up i guess we get stuck replacing the rotors after paying 35,000. 00 for our dodge, we are looking for a smaller suv also and will probably not buy another dodge, chrysler,product again. Never had this problem with our tahoe @ over 60,000 miles. I think this is unfair to consumers! Please help investagate this matter. P. S. I seen a adv. For dodge 2500 and it said largest brakes in class that is a joke!*ak |
