Description of the problem | This is a follow-up report to: date of incident: 11/18/2014, nhtsa id number: 10659435. 2013 dodge dart sxt brakes had failed once before, about six months ago. Brake booster was to blame and replaced by dealer. Dealer stated that this was the first they had heard of the problem and i took it as a fluke. Yesterday i experienced the same thing - pop from the brake pedal then no brakes. Towed to dealer for repair - again! I bought this car to be safe and reliable. I love the car, but it's neither of those things. Thankfully i've been lucky both times and i have not killed myself or others with this defect. The underlying problem needs found and addressed asap. |
