The brakes on my 2006 durango seem to slip at times. I have gone to stop on several occasions, and the brakes seem to take a second to kick in. I have thought before I wasn't going to stop. This is a great concern to me, especially when I have my grandchildren with me. I feel there is something wrong, and I am not safe at times in this car. It isn't everytime , but it happens too often to feel worry free. Equipment
Normal brake usage with no aggressive driving. A few panic stops where the anti lock brake system was used. Severe brake shudder causes suspension hop - unsafe to drive especially in wet - or winter conditions. Replaced front pads and rotors twice. 1St replacement at 21.5K miles under tsb. 2Cd replacement at 29.3K miles was purchased by owner (warranty would not be honored). 2003 Truck has 29k miles.
