Continuing the saga.... This was the 4th time in 4 years with the same problem (and I might have forgotten one or 2) (I have been reporting each instance separately as asked so the record can count each instance). I am a mechanic and do preventative maintenance on all my vehicles (usually way early, just cuz it's cheaper that way). The fourth instance of brake issues (vibration when braking) happened in the fourth year of owning it. This time I changed the calipers, turned the rotors put on new pads and then changed all 4 rotors again trying to solve the problem. Btw, I was still talking with Dodge during each instance and they had NO advice as usual! Made NO mention of problems with other vehicles.Going to report instance 5 (secret for those who are enduring each post- there are 8 all together--skip to last one to see latest ideas on problem). Did I mention DODGE was no HELP!!!
