SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:DRUM
I HAVE HAD THE PADS AND SHOES REPLACED 3 TIMES 01/22/00,05/16/00 AND02/02/2001 THE ROTORS REPLACED ON THE FIRST AND SECOND DATE AND THE REAR DRUM BRAKES REPLACED BECAUSE OF LEAKING. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT USED AND IT WAS A RENTAL CAR BUT I STILL BELIEVE THAT 3 REPAIRS IN 14 MONTHS IS MORE THAN IT SHOULD BE. THE CAR HAS HAD 2 DRIVERS NOW IT ONLY HAS ONE MY HUSBAND DROVE PRIMARILY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS HIS DRIVING SINCE HIS DEATH I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER ARE YOU GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING. IT IS A PROBLEM OF MECHANICS AND PARTS NOT DRIVER. I HAVE PAID ALMOST 600.00 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS I FEEL THIS IS EXCESSIVE AND WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. I AM CONSTANTLY AFRAID THE BRAKES WILL GO OUT AGAIN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN CAR BUT ONLY HAVE ONE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO WORK SO MY HANDS ARE TIED UNLESS YOU CAN HELP ME. THANK YOU. *AK

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
THIS VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY- NOT RUNNING. WE WENT OUTSIDE, AND SAW THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED WITH A HOLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE MEASURING ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG. IT APPEARED THAT IT ORIGINATED FROM THE INSIDE - AS IF THE VEHICLE IMPLODED. THIS IS BECAUSE THE BREAK IN THE GLASS WAS POINTED UPWARD (FROM THE INSIDE OUT). IT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE WEATHER RELATED AS THE WINDOWS WERE OPEN ABOUT 1-INCH AND THE OUTSIDE TEMP. WAS 78 DEGREES AND SUNNY. IT ALSO DID NOT APPEAR TO BE A BASEBALL OR FLYING OBJECT AS THERE WAS ALSO A SIMILAR CRACK ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT IT DID NOT ACTUALLY BREAK. ONCE AGAIN, THE CRACK WAS POINTED UPWARD- BUT DID NOT ACTUALLY FORM A HOLE. THIS WAS JUST A CASE OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON- PERHAPS THE GLASS IS NOT TEMPERED CORRECTLY??. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 97 PLYMOUTH BREEZE IS LEAKING OIL FROM THE HEAD GASKET, THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME $250. CHRYSLER NOTES THEY DON'T HAVE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. CHRYSLER KNEW THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND PARTS CAN GO BAD, BUT NOT WITH THIS FREQUENT OCCURANCE AND CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGING A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY COULD POSSIBLY BE A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO CAR FAILURE ON A HIGHWAY, BUT IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE WITH MOTOR OIL POLLUTING ROADS AND DRIVEWAYS, THEN BEING WASHED INTO THE DRAINS. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING LEAKED INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT.*AK
