2012 Dodge Dart

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, AN ABNORMAL AIR NOISE EMITTED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE FIRST TIME MY BREAKS WENT OUT I WAS SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU AND WE HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE BREAKS BECAME HARD TO PUSH DOWN. IT TOOK LONGER TO STOP DRIVING HOME TO BE TOWED. THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT WE WERE DRIVING THIS TIME AND WITH THIS ONE THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO WENT OUT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 9 MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD MY BREAK SYSTEM REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE SEEING AS THOUGH I HAD NO BREAKS TO STOP. I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES FOR WORK ON MAJOR FREEWAYS THAT ARE VERY BUSY IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT AND HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON ONE OF THOSE FREEWAYS, SOMEONE WOULD LIKELY HAVE DIED OR AT THE VERY LEAST BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. THIS IS UNCALLED FOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE SERVICE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,531.

MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME WITH OUR OTHER DAUGHTER, WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND THE SOUND OF AIR HISSED AS SHE COULD NOT PRESS THE BRAKE DOWN. SHE FLEW THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND COULDN'T STOP FOR ATLEAST ANOTHER FIFTY FEET HOLDING BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE AND PULLING THE E-BRAKE. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT SHE WAS NOT INJURED OR SMASHED BY A VEHICLE AT THE RED LIGHT AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RECALL FOR THAT PART BEING SENT IS LUDICROUS. I AM OUTRAGED THAT YOUR COMPANY AFTER ALL THESE COMPLAINTS HAS NOT SENT A RECALL. FOR AS EXPENSIVE AS THE CAR IS, YOU EXPECT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY TO BE A PRIORITY FOR YOUR COMPANY. IT IS NOW GETTING FIXED AT A DEALERSHIP AND ALL I GOT FROM THEM WAS AN I'M SORRY THAT HAPPENED. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH THERE ARE ANOTHER THOUSAND PEOPLE SAYING AFTER IT WAS FIXED IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM VERY ANGRY I AM STUCK WITH THIS DEATH TRAP BECAUSE I AM JUST A GYM COACH AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BE STUCK BEHIND THIS PAYMENT AND ANOTHER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A SAFE RIDE FOR MY FAMILY. I WOULD LIKE A REPLY TO THIS AND FOR YOU TO TELL ME HOW YOU ARE GOING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY LAWYER SAID THAT YALL ARE LUCKY THAT MY PREGNANT WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE NOT INJURED OR ELSE A LAWSUIT WOULD HAVE INSUED, BUT A LAWSUIT WOULD NOT HAVE BROUGHT MY FAMILY BACK FROM AN ACCIDENT THAT YOUR CAR CLEARLY HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR. PLEASE CARE MORE AND TAKE ACTION ON THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE ME THOUGHT THAT THE DODGE NAME MEANT WE WHERE BUYING A NICE CAR THAT WOULD PROTECT MY FAMILY AND BE SOMETHING I COULD PASS ON TO MY CHILDREN.....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF *CN

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT A LOT ARE HAVING AS I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET. AS I DEPRESS THE BRAKES A HISSING AIR NOISE HAPPENS AND THE BRAKING SYSTEMS FAILS. THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH, AND I HAVE TO BRAKE EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND IT APPEARS THE HYDRAULICS ARE FAILING. IT'S DANGEROUS AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKES TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. AS SOON AS I HIT THE BRAKE THERE WAS A POP AND A HISS. THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND COULDN'T SAFELY STOP THE CAR UNLESS GOING 10 MPH OR SLOWER. SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON OCCURRENCE AS FAR AS PROBLEMS GO...PROBABLY THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER.

WAS BACKING UP THE CAR AND NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AND SUDDENLY HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THEM TO GET THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND IT BARELY WORKED. SCARED ME TO DEATH BECAUSE I WAS BACKING UP INTO A BUSY STREET. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER NOW SO I HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED ON WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHERS
