2013 Dodge Durango Brakes Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while his daughter was driving at 15 PMH and coming to a stop with his son in the front passenger seat, the brake pedal was depressed but hesitated to respond, causing a 50-60 feet in stopping distance delay. The brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle lightly crashed into the rear of another occupied vehicle. The contact stated that the air bags did not deploy as it was a fender bender. There were no injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V572000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact became aware that his VIN was included in the recall though he had not received a recall notification. The dealer was notified of the failure through a voicemail message. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 166,000.

since I have owned the vehicle ( I purchased it brand new) this has happened approx 30 times maybe more. Intermittently when you try to brake, the brake peddle is hard as a rock. I mostly notice it when I am at a fairly high speed say 50 mph but the problem is so sporadic not possible to have it replicated for the mechanic. There is a recall for this exact problem but manufacturer insists my vin # is not under the recall. I can never sell this car or let others drive it as I worry, without being familiar with the problem it could result in an accident.

WHEN VECHICLE IS IN CRUISE CONTROL THE BRAKE PEDDLE IS VERY STIFF AND EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN

THE LINES FOR THE PARKING BRAKE RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD.

I WAS DRIVING IN SOME PRETTY HARD RAIN GOING ABOUT 60MPH. I SLOWED THE CAR DOWN TO ABOUT 40 AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE THEN SEEMED TO STALL AND LOSE BOTH BREAKS AND STEERING. I WAS ON A HILL SO IT WAS VERY SCARY. I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO NOT ACCELERATE, THEN LOSE POWER AND BREAKS. I WAS READING AN ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR MAY BE THE CASE BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW THAT WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF BREAKS. ALSO MY DEALERSHIP STATES THEY ALREADY FIXED THE ALTERNATOR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.

BRAKE SYSTEM STOPPING POWER IS GREATLY REDUCED. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL COMPLETED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE PROBLEM HAS JUST OCCURRED YESTERDAY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY, THE LACK OF BRAKING POWER CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO TRAFFIC TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO A SCHOOL BUS I WAS BEHIND, AND NARROWLY AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE.

ICY CONDITIONS, AROUND DUSK. BREAKING MECHANISM FAILED TO WORK. GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE BOOSTER RECALL HAS HAPPENED. HAD TO GO OUT OF POCKET TO FIX VEHICLE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED COMPENSATION FOR THE DAMAGES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET IN MY 2013 DODGE DURANGO. I GOT TO THE INTERSECTION AND LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON I WENT TO STOP. I DEPRESSED MY BARBRAKE PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS ALSO A LOUD HISSING NOICE. NO LIGHTS SUCH AS ABS WAS ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I THANKFULLY DIDN'T HIT ANYONE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST AND WAIT FOR THE CAR TO STOP. LONG STORY SHORT IT HAD TO DO WITH A SAFTEY RECALL ( THE RECEIPT SAYS RECALL P14) FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WAS NOT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP CORRECTLY. I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED IN THE CAR OVERALL, I HAD THREE PROBLEMS IN ABOUT A MONTH WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR ALL THREE TIMES.

I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE IN 2013 AND SHORTLY AFTER RECVD SEVERAL RECALLS. ONE RECALL WAS REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER, HOWEVER IT TOOK FROM NOVEMBER 2013 TO MARCH 8, 2016 TO RECV AN APPOINTMENT TO COMPLETE THE ADDITIONAL RECALLS. SHORTLY BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT MY ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHEN I MEET MY APPOINTMENT TIME AT NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER IN AUSTIN TX, I INFORMED THEM OF THE ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER A WEEK, THEY INFORMED ME THAT NOT ONLY THE COUNTLESS RECALLS THAT NEED REPAIR THAT I ALSO NEEDED A PART FOR MY TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE NO VEHICLE FOR ME TO LOAN OUT TO ME THAT MEETS THE SAME NEEDS AS MY DURANGO AND HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY MAY KEEP MY VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER 30 DAYS..

THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT ABOUT 0745 GOING NORTH ON I35 FROM TEMPLE TX TO WACO. A 18 WHEELER CUT ME OFF WHILE I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE. HE PASSED ME THEN VERY QUICKLY CHANGED LANES. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED THEN I LIFTED MY FEET AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AGAIN AND NOTHING HAPPENED.THEN ON THE THIRD STOMP THEY FINALLY WORKED. AT THAT TIME I HEARD A RUSHING OF AIR .I HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN BUT THERE WAS NO AIR NOISE. THE BRAKES WORKED FINE AFTER THAT BUT I DIDN'T GET BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. I DROVE VERY CAREFULLY THE REST OF THE DAY. BUT I HAVE HAD OTHER TIMES THAT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED BACK ON MY FOOT. THAT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR
