SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
REAR BRAKES IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED BY MANUFACTURER, RESULTING IN FRONT BRAKES OVERLOADING ON BRAKING, WHICH IN TURN RESULTED IN WARPED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. DEALER ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES AND REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. SINCE THE WORK WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, I ASSUME CHRYSLER (NOW DAIMLER/CHRYSLER) IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. VERY DISCONCERTING TO HAVE A SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM IN A CAR COSTING UPWARDS OF $25,000. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT
OVER A PERIOD OF FIVE MONTHS, COMMENCING IN SEPT 98, THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING SYSTEM, ON MY 97 CHRYSLER CONCORDE, HAS BEEN INOPERATIVE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER, FROM WHICH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, HAS REPLACED THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH (10/05/98), AND REPAIRED THE FUSE HOLDER (12/28/98). THE TURN SIGNALS ARE AGAIN INOPERATIVE AS OF 1/30/99. I NEED ASSISTANCE FROM A CHRYSLER SPECIALIST TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THE TURN SIGNALS ARE VITAL TO DRIVING SAFETY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN, INCLUDING CHRYSLER TECHNICAL PROBLEM ALERTS AND CONTACTS WITH CHRYSLER MANAGEMENT. THANK YOU.
