SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
SINCE APRIL 2000 I HAVE EXPERIENCE PROBS WITH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. IT BEGAN CLICKING IN THE REAR, I WAS TOLD BY DLR THAT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENTS. 2 WEEKS LATER CLICKING BEGAN AGAIN, LOUDER THAT TIME. DLR KEPT VEH SD THEY COULDN'T LOCATE PROB. SO THEY CLEANED BRAKES AND TURNED ROTORS. CLICKING THEN BEGAN IN FRONT OF VEHICLE, ONLY WHEN STOPPING, AND EXCESSIVE GRINDING SOUND BEGAN AND THE VEH WOULD WOBBLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. DLR ADV THAT IT WAS DUE TO HEAT???? SO THE ROTORS WERE MAINTENANCED AGAIN. CLICKING STARTED AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER AND CONTINUES WHEN STOPPING AS WELL AS A SOUND OF FLUID "SWISHING" AND GRINDING AT HALT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THEY KEEP RETURNING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, I AM RETURNING TO SERVICE TOMORROW AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING FULL REPAIRS. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND BASICALLY HAS BEEN NO HELP. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP IF PROBLEM CONTINUES?*AK

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN THE VAN IN FOR REPAIRS FOR FUEL MILEAGE AND PINGING UNDER ACCELERATION AS WELL AS RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN, INTERMITANT WIPERS WILL STOP WORKING INTERMITANTLY. THE MOST RESENT PROBLEM IS THE VENTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD CANNOT BE SHUT OFF WHILE THE HEATER IS ON, THIS CAUSES MY HEAD TO GET VERY WARM WHILE MY FEET ARE COLD. THE WIPER SWITCH, BODY COMPUTER AND MOTOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT 4 SEPERATE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND THIS HAS NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE CAUSED THE VAN TO BE OUT OF SERVICE FOR 14 DAYS AT THE DEALER, NONE OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.
