Consumer Description

THE FRONT BRAKE WILL LOCK UP ON ONE SIDE CAUSING THE ROTOR , CALIPER HUB AND WHEEL TO BECOME SO HOT IT STARTS SMOKING . AFTER IT COOLS OF IT WILL RELEASE THE LOCKED UP CALIPER AND BECOME DRIVABLE AGAIN. THIS WILL BE FINE FOR A WHILE AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE WILL DO THE SAME THING.. THIS HAS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS OVERHEATING ALL THE FRONT END COMPONENTS TO THESE VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES . THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM ON A FORUM ( VTCOA.COM ) I AM A MEMBER OF . THERE NEEDS TO BE A DODGE RECALL ON ALL THE EFFECTED OVERHEATING PARTS BEFORE IT CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE POWER STEERING HOSES KEEP LEAKING OR BLOWING OUT . THIS IS ANOTHER REAL HAZARD TO SAFETY . HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO STEER A 3 TON TRUCK WITH NO POWER ASSIST , NOT EASY BY ANY MEANS . THESE TWO THINGS ARE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY DODGE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
