#704754March 22, 1999
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE VEHICLE IS WHITE IN COLOR. LAST YEAR APPROXIMATELY IN JUNE 1998 I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE CAB OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO PEEL. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND IS VERY CLEAN. NOW I HAVE A CAB THAT IS AN EYE SORE DUE TO THE PEELING SPOTS ON THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT I NOTICED CHIPS OF PAINT IN THE DRIVEWAY WHERE I PARK THE VEHICLE, AND I AM AFRAID THAT WITH SMALL CHILDREN THAT THE CHIPS OF PAINT COULD BE A HAZARD OR DO HARM. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE RUSTED/PITTED AND WORE THE BRAKE PADS DOWN TO AN UNUSEABLE AND UNSAFE CONDITION. I STILL HAVE THE OLD ROTORS, AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE ROTORS FROM ANY JUNK YARD, AND WAS JUST TRYING TO RIP THEM OFF. I DID NOT TAKE MY TRUCK TO A CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP, BUTI DID TAKE IT TO A VERY GOOD REPAIR SHOP OF MY CHOISE. WHEN THEY GOT DONE THEY SAID THAT CHRYSLER WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS ON SOME VANS, AND THAT THE ONES ON MY TRUCK WERE OF THE SAME SIZE AND STYLE USED ON THE VANS WITH THE PROBLEM. ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS IF THERE IS A RECALL OR A FIX THAT I GET SOME PAY BACK FOR MY PROBLEM. I DON'T LIKE TO BE TOLD THAT I AM JUST TRYING TO RIP THEM OFF. THANK YOU, SINCERELY YOURS MAX A.
