Reported at 8,000 miles, June 2007 CrashInjury

Took my car into safford dodge in fredericksburg, va because when I hit brakes my car would shudder. I stated that I felt my front brakes were going bad. After they looked at my vehicle they stated I needed my rear brakes replaced and that my front ones were fine. Upon them working on my rear brakes, they informed me that cylinder wheel was locked up on the rear left side. Preventing the wheel from being placed back on the car. When I picked my vehicle up, my brake pedal made a popping sound.
