Summary

After starting the Dakota, I pushed on the brake pedal so I could put the automatic transmission in Drive. My foot went all the way to the floor. I tried again with the same result. I checked the brake fluid reservoir. It was a bit low, but not empty. When the tow truck arrived to haul it away, I noticed a pool of brake fluid on the driveway approximately below the master cylinder. It is clear the brake system experience a catastrophic failure. I will know more when my mechanic reports what he has found. He suspects corrosion on the brake line. No one was hurt and there was no property damage because I did not put the truck in gear.

EVERY TIME I CALL THEY TELL ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THEY ALSO TELL ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PARTS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT FOUR MONTHS AFTER A RECALL IS ANNOUNCED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ARE DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. IT IS MORE UNACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT IT APPEARS NHTSA IS DOING NOTHING TO ENFORCE THEIR RECALLS. THE NOTICE STATES THAT MY VEHICLE "COULD CRASH WITHOUT WARNING"! WHEN IS NHTSA GOING TO REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO REPAIR THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES? THIS MONTH? NEXT MONTH? NEXT YEAR? IS THERE ANY DEADLINE FOR THESE REPAIRS TO BE DONE?
