THE ISSUE IS THE FAULTY BRAKE ROTORS PLACED ON THESE VEHICLES AND WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THANK GOD, I DID NOT HAVE A SERIOUS CRASH AS I ALWAYS TRAVEL WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN.*AK

#760282April 4, 2002
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
FIRST NOTICED VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING DUE TO WARPED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BEFORE 10000 MILES. HAD SERVICED AT DEALER AT 13373 MILES PER DAILMER-CHRYSLER TSB (ROTORS TURNED DOWN, NEW "IMPROVED" BRAKE PADS). PROBLEM REOCCURRED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AT 29899 MILES. DEALER ADMITS THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM, BUT DAILMER-CHRYSLER WILL NOT, AND HENCE WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY NOR PROVIDE A MORE DURABLE FIX. COMPLAINED TO DAIMLER-CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND WAS EXTREMELY DISPLEASED AT THEIR COMPLETE FAILURE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. REVIEWS OF VARIOUS INTERNET DISCUSSION GROUPS REVEALS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MANY SIMILAR (OR EVEN MUCH WORSE) REPORTS WITH DAIMLER-CHRYSLER AGAIN DENYING ALL RESPONSIBILITY. THE BRAKES ARE CLEARLY UNDERDESIGNED FOR THE APPLICATION AND POSE A POTENTIAL HAZARD DUE TO INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCES CAUSED BY THE WARPED ROTORS. AFTER-MARKET ROTORS APPARENTLY WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS COST SHOULD BE INCURRED BY DAIMLER-CHRYSLER. *AK
