SEVERELY CORRODED BRAKE LINES, LINES BLEW. NEAR MISS ACCIDENT. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ACROSS MFRS. HAD THE SAME INCIDENT 1 MONTH AGO ON 1997 GM PRODUCT. WELL MAINTAINED CARS WITH SEVERELY CORRODED FUEL AND BRAKE LINES. I BET IT CAN BE TRACED TO A CHEAP SUPPLIER THAT SUPPLIED THE BIG 3 FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS. NO CORROSION RESISTANCE ON THE STEEL. CAN'T BLAME THIS ON NE WINTER SALT. MY OEM 1964 LOOKS BETTER THAN MY LATE MODEL VEHICLES. *TR

DRIVING DOWN ROAD GOING APROX. 35 MPH. CAR DIED, HAD TO PULL OVER ON SIDE OF ROAD. CAR WOULDN'T START. WAITED ABOUT 5 MIN. THEN IT FINALLY STARTED UP. *TR

DRIVING 30 MPH AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM AND THE CAR JUST DIED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HAD TO PUSH TO A SIDE STREET AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART, AFTER RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THIS IS COMMON TO THIS MODEL AND SO FAR HAVE FOUND NO SOLUTIONS BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU LOOSE YOUR POWER STEERING AND BRAKES THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE AS OTHER REPORTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE REPORTS I HAVE READ THUS FAR HAVE FOUND NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIND AS YOU JUST GUESS AT WHICH PART TO CHANGE OR WHERE TO LOOK, WE NEED HELP. *TR
