| The service brakes fail completely often. i believe that it's in the antilock system however when i take it for evaluation & repair the problem cannot be duplicated. this has caused numerous near collisions and i haven't found a way to repair it yet. the dealer says they cannot replace suspected parts issues without a recall being issued. the 1st failure occurred at about 19,000 miles and has happened approximately 14 times between then and 102,000 miles now. *tr | |||

| Dodge fails to admit a problem with rear anti-lock brakes because i didn't find the unused brakes within the warranty. several other people have had similar experience on other makes with rear abs. my worry is i'm not the only on driving with defective brakes. dodge sent a service bullitin to dealers but not to inform consumers.*ak | |||
