#711056September 8, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS DRIVING INTO A BANK'S TELLER MACHINE LINE WHEN I NOTICED THAT TWO BRAKE PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN, I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES ALMOST COMPLETELY FAILED. I HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE CAR, WHICH TOOK ALL THE FOOT PRESSURE I COULD MUSTER. IN MARCH, 1999, I TOOK THE CAR INTO CUTTER DODGE WHEN THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT CVMAE ON AND THE BRAKE BECAME MUCH WEAKER. I PAID MORE THAN $431.00 PLUS TAX TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED THERE, WHICH INCLUDED REPLACING BRAKE ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY. NOW, 6 MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES FAILED MUCH MORE SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY. I FEEL EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS 1) ALONE IN THE VEHICLE, AND 2)DRIVING VERY SLOWLY. I WAS ABLE TO "CREEP" THE CAR TO CUTTER DODGE, 735 DILLINHAM BLVD, HONOLULU, HI (808) 842-6333, WHERE IT IS NOW. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, MANY PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. TO ME, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DOOR SEAL DEFECT PREVENTED OPENING OF DOOR, INDIRECTLY CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD, SINCE MY CHILD WAS REPEATEDLY FORCED TO EXIT CAR ON DRIVERS SIDE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS OVER SEVERAL YEARS HAVE REFERRED TO THIS PROBLEM BUT DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DOOR SEAL WITHOUT CHARGE. I BELIEVE THAT A DOOR STUCK SHUT IS INDEED A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS SUCH. NO OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED HAVE EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM, EVEN AT OLDER AGES. THIS DESIGN AND MATERIALS DEFECT IS AN INDIRECT SAFETY HAZARD BUT SHOULD BE STILL CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE ONE NONETHELESS. I PAID $300 TO HAVE THE PASADENA CHRYSLER DEALER FIX THIS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. BEATRICE HIRANO, MY CORRECT ZIP CODE IS 91770-NO WAY TO MODIFY THE DATA WITHOUT ERASING THE COMMENTS. YOU SHOULD FIX THAT ON YOUR SITE.
