What owners wrote

The vehicle was in an accident on november 26, 2015. The steering wheel was shaking uncontrollably. This has been an issue since purchase. The braking was not accurate. The car would lose steering functionality along with braking capacity and has become hazardous while driving. On november, 26th, 2015, an accident occurred due to the malfunction of this vehicle. At this time, the parts to replace the malfunctioned parts were not available. I have received 2 recall notices for my brand new truck.

November 2015 CrashInjury

Been having serious intermittent issues with my brakes. My traction control light and ABS lights would come on simultaneously and then brakes start to make a grinding noise as well as pedal starts to shake. Brought it into dealership on 10/6/19 as it was throwing a code for a wheel speed sensor. Had them replace that along with a full brake system check only for it to start having same issues 2 weeks later. I've read online of many other customers having the exact same issue only for dodge to slap a bandaid on it.
