#723337May 30, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
AT 38,430 MILES THE ROTORS WERE SO WARPED THAT AT 60 MPH AT HARD BRAKING IF YOU WERE NOT EXPECTING IT AND HOLDING ON TIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL COULD TWIST OUT OF YOUR HANDS. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AT MY EXPENSE. NOW AT 49,650 THE PROBLEM IS STARTING AGAIN. THE CAR HAS NOT HAD HARD USE AND WHY SHOULD THE BRAKES ENCOUNTER SUCH A PROBLEM AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A CHRYSLER DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTION AND REFUNDS TO THE CONSUMER FOR PREVIOUS WORK. IN LOOKING AT THE PAST WEB HISTORY ON THE CAR I FIND OTHER NOTES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOW MILEAGE PROBLEMS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *AK
