REAR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WORK LIKE ANTI-LIKE BRAKES SHOULD..THEY ARE NOT ACTIVE AT ANY TIME OR SPEED .I HAVE HAD DEALERS AND MECHANICS CHECK THEM AND CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG.BUT WHEN I AN STOPPED, I COULD STAND ON THE BRAKES AND LIGHTLY TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL,) AND SPIN THE REAR TIRES EVEN WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DISABLED. THANK YOU. MY E MAIL IS [email protected]. *AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE RUSTED/PITTED AND WORE THE BRAKE PADS DOWN TO AN UNUSEABLE AND UNSAFE CONDITION. I STILL HAVE THE OLD ROTORS, AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE ROTORS FROM ANY JUNK YARD, AND WAS JUST TRYING TO RIP THEM OFF. I DID NOT TAKE MY TRUCK TO A CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP, BUTI DID TAKE IT TO A VERY GOOD REPAIR SHOP OF MY CHOISE. WHEN THEY GOT DONE THEY SAID THAT CHRYSLER WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS ON SOME VANS, AND THAT THE ONES ON MY TRUCK WERE OF THE SAME SIZE AND STYLE USED ON THE VANS WITH THE PROBLEM. ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS IF THERE IS A RECALL OR A FIX THAT I GET SOME PAY BACK FOR MY PROBLEM. I DON'T LIKE TO BE TOLD THAT I AM JUST TRYING TO RIP THEM OFF. THANK YOU, SINCERELY YOURS MAX A.
