Description of the problem | On wet pavement, approaching stop sign or stop light, when applying the brakes normally, the brakes lock up, causing the vehicle to skid. Accidents have narrowly been avoided. The problem seems similar to the one that led to the recent recall of gm suv's and other vehicles. The vehicle has been taken back to a dodge dealer to be checked out, but they found nothing wrong. *ak |
