BRAKES WERE APPLIED AFTER A STUCK THROTTLE DUE TO MATS. WHEN APPLIED NO VACUUM POWER AVAILABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UNDER FULL MANUAL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY ACCELERATING. KEY OFF PREVENTED ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. A TEST FOUND THAT UNDER FULL THROTTLE NO VACUUM IS AVAILABLE FOR BRAKING. ALL SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL AND CORRECT OTHERWISE. WILL NOT STOP IF THROTTLE IS ENGAGED FULL, PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION OF BRAKES. TIRED OF LOSING MONEY TAKING VEHICLES TO AND FROM DEALERS. I'LL HAVE TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM UNTIL SUCH TIME AS I CAN GET IT LOOKED INTO. ADVISE TESTING OF VACUUM ASSISTED BRAKES IN THE FUTURE BY APPLYING FULL THROTTLE AND THEN, FULL BRAKES. IN THIS CASE THERE IS NO VACUUM AVAILABLE. SCARY!!!*AK

THE TRUCK PULLS LEFT WHEN BRAKING. WHEN LOADED OR TOWING A TRAILER YOU HAVE TO HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL OR YOU WILL BE IN THE DITCH OR WORSE YET PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS AT CHRYSLERS REQUEST FOR A TOTAL OF 6 REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND 28 DAYS IN THE SHOP. THE LAST VISIT WAS FOR 8 DAYS AND INCLUDED LEAVING MY TRUCK AND TRAILER YET THE TRUCK STILL ISN'T REPAIRED. THE CHRYSLER REP HAS PLACED THE BLAME ON MY TRAILER AND CALLED MY PROBLEM A QUESTIONABLE REPAIR BECAUSE I'M TOWING A TRAILER WITH MY TRUCK. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED!!
