What owners wrote
There were two accidents within four weeks relating to the brakes. The first one happened on 11-12-2015 which resulted in neck injury to one person and several other minor complaints. The second accident was on 12-09-2015 in which the car was totaled and all parties from both vehicles were taken by ambulance to the hospital. The first time was on a road and her breaks malfunctioned and she couldn't stop.
While driving, there was a snap and a loss of power brakes. According to the repair report from dodge, brake fluid from the master cylinder leaked into the power booster causing loss of power brakes. This car is a little over a year old and just out of the warrenty at 37,000 miles and since we bought it with 20,000 miles on it, dodge would not help with the repair cost. The 2013 and 2014 dodge darts were recalled for oli leaking into the power booster, but this appears to be a failed master cylinder.
