VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN HER CAR SURGED OUT OF CONTROL, HITTING A REPAIR VEHICLE AND GROCERY CART STAND. MOST OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. THE DEALER HAS DECLARED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS WAS AN UNCONTROLABLE SITUATION AND ONLY BY LUCK WAS NO ONE HURT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
REAR BRAKES IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED BY MANUFACTURER, RESULTING IN FRONT BRAKES OVERLOADING AND WARPING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. DEALER ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES AND REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. SINCE THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTLY, I ASSUME THAT CHRYSLER (NOW DAIMLER/CHRYSLER) IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A 1997 CHRYSLER CONCORDE WHICH HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES. VERY DISCONCERTING TO HAVE SUCH A SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM WITH A CAR COSTING UPWARDS OF $25,000.
