The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the brake pedal became extremely firm however, the contact was able to avoid a crash and pulled over to the shoulder. The brake was inoperable. The traction icon was displayed with the vehicle with the wiggly lines. The vehicle was restarted moments later. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The Police were on the scene and attempted to assist. There was sulfur and a burned odor after the failure. The vehicle was driven to the local dealer, and the failure was confirmed and was associated with the brake booster. The brake booster was losing vacuum pressure. The brake booster was destroyed by water internally. The manufacturer recall customer service was contacted and confirmed there was no warranty on the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired in 2018 under recall T59. The approximate failure mileage was 191,000.

Had an oil check in which they checked the breaks. Reported breaks as a 3. They recommended new brake pads. I only put 6000 miles on the car since I purchased it. It has 24747 miles and needs new rear brakes. I spoke to the service rep Jake and he could not do anything to help with repair. Feel like there is a problem with rear brakes going bad

MY CAR CUTS OFF SOMETIMES WHEN I'M COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ALSO DOES IT WHEN BREAKING TO MAKE A TURN. CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. VERY DANGEROUS. AT FIRST IT WAS INFREQUENT BUT ITS HAPPENING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, HASN'T HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY YET.

Service brakes, Dec 12, 2019
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE SIMPLY BROKE UPON REGULAR DEPLOYMENT. THE FAILURE HAPPENED ON A LOW GRADE HILL, NOT A STEEP HILL. THE DEALERSHIP, KING'S DODGE, CINCINNATI, REPORTED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS WEATHER CORROSION TO THE COMPONENTS. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD AN EMERGENCY BRAKE FAIL ON ANY OF MY PREVIOUS DODGE VEHICLES.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP OR EXIT THE ROAD VIA OFF RAMP OR TURN, THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL CAUSING BRAKES AND STEERING TO BECOME NON-RESPONSIVE. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN. IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY. IT ALWAYS APPEARS TO BE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT A ROAD OR TAKE A TURN. I HAVE TO COAST THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT STOPS AND PUT IT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO START IT AGAIN. IT WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

SO, I PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, ALL KINDS OF STRANGE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER, NO LIGHTS NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS, NOTHING! LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING.

CAR IS STILL BEING SERVICED SO DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS DAMAGED AS OF YET. I WILL UPDATE.

FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, RUNNING OUT OF CHARACTERS AND FILES NOT UPLOADING. THE VEHICLE HAS SLOWLY BUT INCREASINGLY BECOMING HARDER TO SLOW DOWN. DAY BY BY, THE VEHICLE REQUIRES MORE AND MORE BRAKE PRESSURE. NOT A SINGLE DEALERSHIP HAS PARTS FOR BOTH OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE (T59- BRAKE BOOSTER WATER SHIELD AND T-36 - ALTERNATOR AT EXCEPTIONAL RISK OF CATCHING FIRE.) MOPAR HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE EITHER. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA POLICY FOR AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS WHO ISSUE RECALLS, THEY MUST DO SO IN A TIMELY MANNER. FOR T59, THE WATER SHIELD AFFECTING BRAKING ABILITY BEING ISSUES IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, COMING INTO JANUARY OF 2018 STILL WITH NO PARTS IS ABSURD EVEN MORE ABSURD THAN THAT IS THE T36 RECALL OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS, STATING THAT THE ALTERNATOR CAN POTENTIALLY CATCH FIRE WHICH COULD ALSO LEAD TO A VERY DEVASTATING SITUATION. THAT RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JUNE OF 2017 AND IT IS JANUARY OF 2018 AND THOSE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATORS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. MY CAR HAS BECOME A TICKING TIME BOMB JUST WAITING TO GO OFF AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE DODGE IS TAKING THESE RECALLS SERIOUSLY ENOUGH. I DO FEEL LIKE THE BRAKING ISSUE RECALL HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MY ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER, CREATING A POINT ON MY DRIVING RECORD, AND NOW A DMV HEARING FOR DRIVING COMPETENCY. THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED SEVERELY, WHICH COMPROMISES MY SAFETY, MY PASSENGERS SAFETY, AND ALL OF THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. DODGE/MOPAR SEEMS TO NOT CARE VERY MUCH ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND KEEP REFERRING ME TO THE DEALERSHIPS. IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN SINCE NOVEMBER BEFORE MY ACCIDENT TO HAVE THE WATER SHIELD EVALUATED AND BRAKES AS WELL FOR DAMAGE. AND GIVEN THE HISTORY OF RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE ALONE, THE OTHER 2 RECALLS FOR VANITY MIRROR WIRING POTENTIALLY CATCHING FIRE AND ALSO FUEL PUMP FAILURE, MY DODGE MET THE CRITERIA FOR BOTH.

2 SEPARATE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AFTER MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD 2 OTHER RECALLS REPAIRED. THE FIRST ONE IS T59 REGARDING A BRAKE BOOSTER WATER SHIELD. I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE RECALL A WEEK OR SO BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND IT JUST STATED 'IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL'. I START MAKING PHONE CALLS TO DEALERS AND EVEN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE PROVIDED PHONE NUMBER AT HUNTINGTON BEACH DODGE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. WHEN I SHOWED UP TO MY APPOINTMENT, THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS RUDE AND ENDED UP TELLING ME THAT HE JUST PUT HIS LAST PARTS ON ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT. I SHOWED UP FOR NOTHING. SO I CALL AROUND SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2017 TO FIND A DEALER WITH THE PARTS. NOBODY HAD THEM AND NOT ONE DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO BE IN A HURRY TO REMEDY THE RECALL, TELLING ME 'IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL'. WELL IT IS ACTUALLY, BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT THE CARFAX REPORT ON THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST 7 MONTHS SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW IT WAS IN OKLAHOMA USED AS A RENTAL CAR FOR 17,000 MILES UNTIL IT WAS SOLD. IT WAS ALSO IN OKLAHOMA DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHERE IT'S RAINING AND SNOWING, FALLING PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE TO THIS DAY HAS YET TO BE INSPECTED FOR NUMEROUS REASONS INCLUDING ALL CONTACTED DEALERSHIPS MISSING THE PARTS NEEDED FOR REPLACEMENT AND LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. LOW AND BEHOLD, A WEEK AFTER RECEIVING THAT RECALL NOTICE, I ENDED UP IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN IN TIME AND HAD TO TAKE A POINT ON MY DRIVING RECORD AND POTENTIALLY HAVE MY PREMIUMS RAISED. NOT ONLY THAT, THE CALIFORNIA DMV HAS ISSUED ME A MANDATORY HEARING IN WHICH I HAVE TO RETEST IN ORDER TO DETERMINE MY ABILITY TO DRIVE. A FEW DAYS AGO, I RECEIVED A DIFFERENT NOTICE THAT NOW READS 'URGENT RECALL' AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE GETTING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, WHILE I DRIVE WITH ADEFECT * (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS
