2000 DODGE DURANGO — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR CAR AND WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT,AT 20 MILES PER HOUR. AS THE LIGHT CHANGED TO RED HE PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKES AND IT DID NOT SLOW DOWN ANY, HE PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES WHICH FAILED HIM. HE LEFT TIRE MARKS ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 37 FT AND ENDED UP HITTING A VEHICLE AND IN THE END THERE WERE 4 VEHICLES TOTAL. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR BRAKES ON DODGE DURANGO'S THAT WERE MADE IN 1999. OUR DURANGO IS A 2000 BUT WAS MANUFACTURED IN DECEMBER 1999. WE FEEL THAT IN LIGHT OF THIS INFO, WE SHOULD HAVE RECIEVED SOME FORM OF RECALL LETTER FROM THE DEALERS WHICH WE HAVE NOT AS YET. WE ARE NOT SURE OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE ACCIDENT AS YET, SO THE FIGURES ARE JUST QUOTES SO FAR. *AK
