What owners wrote
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock with rear ABS only (2-wheel) when the ABS system is activated the vehicle surges forward. It is as if the front brakes will not stop. This has been a problem sense the vehicle was new. When it was mention to the dealer they said that was how the ABS system worked.
I own a 2002 dodge durango with 35,000 miles that has always been properly maintained. I have already had the dealer replace 2 worn ball joints last week, I've had the brake pads replaced twice, and one rotor on one side (in front) turned, and I am still hearing strange noises. I would like an investigation done on my vehicle, as I am driving my daughter and myself around everyday, and my factory warranty is about to expire.
