I have heard that some people have lost their lives due to this…

I have a 1999 dodge durango and the "brakes" doesn't work. When i was driving i would hear a rumble sound then all of a sudden when i try to brake the "brakes" wouldn't work or it would take a sec to kick in. I have read a couple of consumers issues with this and it sounds like it all lead back to the abs system. Shouldn't this be a recall not just a service bulletin? *tr
