Owner-reported complaints naming the brake system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Brakes reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 DODGE DYNASTY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES FAILED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN 1999 ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 96V099000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THIS RECALL; HOWEVER, THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AGAIN FOR FREE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
