Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 12,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH ONLY APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES ON IT AND AT APPROXIMATELY 19,000 MILES THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR WORN OUT PADS AND WARPED ROTORS. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER TO SEE WHY THE BRAKES WORE OUT SO EARLY AND THEY SAID IT HAD NON-MOPAR BRAKE PADS ON IT SO IT VOIDED THE WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES ON IT NOW AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS 3 TIMES FOR WORN OUT PADS AND WARPED ROTORS AND THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ONCE AT 40,000 MILES FOR THE SAME. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE GO THRU BRAKES LIKE THIS ONE. THE BRAKES ARE UNDERSIZED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE AND DODGE KNOWS IT BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, THAT IS NOT RIGHT! WHEN THE BRAKES WEAR OUT THIS QUICKLY WITH NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS POORLY DESIGNED BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR
