Consumer Description

REAR BRAKE LINE BLEW AT 142000 MILES, FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINE BLEW AT 143000 MILES, DODGE SHOULD HAVE USED SOME KIND OF ANTI-CORROSION LINES, ALL THE BRAKE LINES ON MY TRUCK ARE VERY RUSTY, LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN SUBMERGED IN SEA WATER. GOOGLE THE PROBLEM, EVERYONE HAS IT. DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. LUCKY FOR ME BOTH TIMES I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP AND NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I NOW WANT TO SELL THIS VEHICLE AS THIS IS THE 2ND SUCH INCIDENT AND LOOKING AT THE BRAKE LINES, I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM. SHAME ON DODGE FOR PUTTING OUT SUCH A SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT. *JS
