Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD 3 FAILURES OF MY FRONT BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME WAS WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASING THE TRUCK. THE SECOND BRAKE FAILURE WAS 6 MONTHS LATER AT APPROX. 18,000 MILES AND THE THIRD FAILURE WAS AT APPROX. 34,000 MILES ON OCT. 1ST 2000. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO DODGE AND THEY HAVE REPORTED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND SAID THERE APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CALIPERS. THE TRUCK PULLS VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND I'VE ALSO HAD THE FRONT BRAKES LOCK UP.
