Took vehicle in for maintenance, technician told us the front crossmember is rusted throughout and needs replacement. Technician advised it's a safety issue and this model was given extended warranty under x69 notice, however warranty may have already expired. I contacted chrysler representative and they advised the vehicle was part of the x69 notice but was beyond the extended warranty that expired in june 2018. I am the second owner of vehicle band never received notice of the issue from chrysler/dodge. The crossmember rust issue appears to be a common problem with this model. I am requesting an investigation and recall for this part.

The front calipers will not engage when brake pedal is pressed. The brake pedal sinks to the floor and has no stopping power. The master cylinder was replaced and calipers are new replacements. After replacing these parts it now smell of burnt brake fluid but there is no leak and the problem seems to worsen. The first time i was doing 45-50 on a county rd when a another car pulled out 20 feet away and i was trying to slow down when i lost the front brakes as pished in on the pushed in on the brakes the pedal sank and they didn't engage. I then bought the new calipers and it was fine for about a month. The second time i was stuck in traffic on a busy city street when the abs brakes failed resulting in me running a red light and almost getting hit. It has corroded and took hunks off aluminum from my front driver rim. I have not been able to figure out what the problem and keep replacing parts for it to tear up new ones
