    This is the second time this problem has resulted in an accident. The first time i wasn't sure what happen but after some investigation i found that the abs system was not working properly.

Also if you are appling the force to the brakes and you hit a hole or any object in the…

    Brakes on 99 durango do not work at times. Other times the brakes work fine. It seems that when the road is wet or high humidity the brakes do not work. It is a very scary feeling to hit the brakes and not have any response. After a 1 to 2 second delay the brakes finally engage. I have had to swerve to the shoulder on numerous occasions when trying to stop on the freeway so as to not hit the car in front of me. I…

    2 weeks ago i had the rear brakes lock-up under less than moderate pressure. The dealership adjusted the brakes and charged me 35.00. Then on 5-15 they locked-up again with the same amount of break pressure. There is virtually no warning except the brake pedal is a little stiffer. After the brakes were adjusted i did notice that my mileage increased almost 2mpg (so it's obvious they must have been draggging) i…
