Durango SLT 5.7L
was driving with my 2 small children in Durango and brakes got spongy and then didn't work,i was able to stop truck by using emergency brake.i found the problem was that the brake line had rusted so bad that it leaked all fluid,i contacted dodge because there was a recall on brake line rubbing against gas tank causing premature leak in line,i couldn't find out from them if it was repaired ,and bought used so have no record of being done,contacted the bbb and they went back and fourth with dodge and end result was not under warranty and would not be fixed> i am able to repair myself due to knowledge on some repairs ,turns out they don't make brake line and you have to make it yourself or add a few lines together to get length needed to reach front to back,i fixed it and am trying to get money from dodge for parts and my labor which i am only charging 50.00 dollars an hour not there 100.00 dollars so they should be glad to help me out ,i will post what happens when dodge gets my letter with defective part and charges,i think all car co should understand that brake lines and other parts that can kill someone if they rust through to make them out of a material that will not rust !! IS A SIMPLE FIX AND WILL SAVE LIVES
