SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF DISC BRAKE ROTORS. THE ROTORS CAN ONLY BE REFACED ONE TIME. THEY WARP, DUE TO HEAT. THE HEAT GENERATED IS UNEVEN, CAUSING THE WARPING, BECAUSE THE BRAKE DISC PADS ARE UNEQUAL IN SIZE, BY DESIGN. CHRYSLER IS PURPOSELY DESIGNING FAILURE INTO ITS COMPONENTS. THE UNEQUAL SIZED BRAKE PADS ARE NOT NECESSARY AS THERE IS ADEQUATE ROOM FOR EQUAL SIZED PADS. ALL LHS CHRYSLERS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE, REQUIRING THEM TO REDESIGN THE BRAKE PADS TO PREVENT UNEQUAL HEATING OF THE ROTORS. IT IS HIGH TIME THAT CHRYSLER BE MADE TO ANSWER FOR THEIR ENGINEERED FAILURE OF SAFETY COMPONENTS.
