What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle began to pull to the left when the contact depressed the brake pedal. She attempted to correct the failure, but lost control of the vehicle and it began to swerve. The vehicle rolled over six times. Three passengers sustained cuts and bruises and the driver was airlifted to the hospital due to back injuries. The insurance company stated that the vehicle was under recall # 06v493000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module).
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.
