| Description of the problem | My sons friend was driving my new dodge truck, when the vehicle in front of him (10 car lengths) stopped - he applied the brakes and the peddle went to the floor ( no pressure). They rear ended the truck which was in front of them (no damage to that vehicle) the front of my truck is crunched (luckily that's all this time) some one could have been killed. After the incident my son checked the peddle himself, no pressure was felt until the peddle was pumped multiple times. I checked online and there is a recall for this vehicles brakes dating to january although i was never notified. I plan on contacting chrysler about the damage and lack of notification. |
