Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE PEDAL EFFORT REQUIRED TO STOP VEHICLE IN NORMAL BRAKING SITUATIONS. FRONT BRAKES SMOKE DURING HARD STOPS OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT ALSO GIVES OFF A BURNING SMELL. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER 2 TIMES AND THEY STATE THAT IT IS "NORMAL". I JUST FOUND OUT THAT IN 1997, DODGE CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER ON THIS TRUCK TO A LARGER UNIT. THE REST OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE THE SAME. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD SOLVE MY PROBLEM. *AK
