Sonoma dr.) that when I engaged the breaks the vehicle failed to slow and I felt as if the breaks were not working and the vehicle was not going to come to a stop. In the same month, approximately a week and a half after the last incident, on december 18th, 2019, my chrysler, pacifica was involved in a motor vehicle accident.
Only a few thousand miles with the vehicle, the vehicle would make clicking noises as I turn the vehicle (doesn't matter left or right). Dealer service dept checked and replaced defective right axle. At 10k miles, left axle failure. Dealer service dept checked and replaced a broken left axle. This break also caused the e-brakes to no longer engage and while the car was in park no brakes were applied thereby allowing the car to continue rolling unless your foot was on the brakes or a block of wood is placed at theā¦
