Screeching halt = interpreted as lockup.

No? Okay. I'll give you the $$ back you paid on your online forum diagnostic.

I just got my Durango recently... Like about a month ago... And I have had EXACTLY the same issue described by everyone in the thread.

I'm not disagreeing with IndyDurango just to be a dick - but I figured I would just put in my $0.02 as well.


When I first purchased the vehicle, and drove it off the lot, the first 2-3 times I used the brakes - I was shocked. I thought something might be wrong with the truck... It stopped so hard and so abruptly.

I pulled the wheels off and noticed the pitting on the front rotors, and the rear drums looked perfect, adjustment was not necessary.

Since then I have put approximately 5000km's on the truck, and I have noticed that after the truck sits overnight when it's wet out... I get that "extreme grabbing" feeling from the FRONT only, as the oxidization comes off the rotors when you first drive it.

After you drive it and use the brakes a little bit - everything is perfectly normal.
