There are 4 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2021 Dodge Durangoin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Vehicle fitted with optional high-performance Brembo brakes as part of the tow-n-go package. Front calipers are seized at just over 40k miles. Passenger side pads worn 1/4" more than drivers side. Luckily did not cause an accident however this seems to be a very common problem with these brakes if you google it, many similar reports. Vehicle barely 4 years old. $5k+ repair bill at a Dodge dealer for new calipers, discs and pads and Dodge won't cover it under (now expired) warranty even though the uneven pad wear was missed at last service (so much for safety inspection).
When driving the vehicle and pressing the brakes to stop, the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. It takes several attempts of releasing and pressing the pedal before the brakes start to work again. The vehicle was taken to the Dodge dealer service, where they installed a computer to diagnose the issue. During their test drive, the same problem occurred, with the brakes not working. However, nothing registered on the computer. They bled the brakes, replaced the rear rotors, and returned the vehicle. Unfortunately, the same issue happened again. The vehicle was then taken to a private shop, where they changed the front brakes, bled the lines, and returned the vehicle. But the problem persisted, with the pedal still going straight to the floor. This issue has occured several times since purchasing the vehicle.
Around 50,000 or trailer brake service and traction control warning came on. Took into dealership was told it was hydraulic control unit and abs module that need replaced
