SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE
WHEEL HUB BEARING ON LEFT REAR WHEEL WENT BAD. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT GO BAD UNTIL I REACH AT LEAST 80,000 MILES ON MY CAR. HIS COMMENT WAS THAT THE PART MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM THE START. MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE MOLDING: I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AND IT CAME OUT WITH A BENT MOLDING WHICH THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID HAD TO BE REPLACED AND COULD NOT BE FIXED. THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO GET THE MONEY FROM THE CAR WASH, HOWEVER, WHEN INVESTIGATING THEY DETERMINED THAT THE MOLDING ON MY CAR WAS LOOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THE CAR WASH COULD NOT BE AT FAULT. THIS WAS $200.00 OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A POORLY ASSEMBLED CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT WHEELS WHENEVER YOU INCREASE SPEED, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES TWICE, AND STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM OF THE TIRES GOING FLAT. THE BRAKES PULSATE WHENEVER COMING TO A STOP AND THEY CONSTANTLY SQUEAL. I HAVE WENT TO THE MECHANICS FOR ALL OF THIS LISTED COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY BRAKES PULSATING WAS SAID TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE KIND OF BRAKES THAT CHRYSLER PUTS ON THERE VEHICLES A SEMI METALLIC TYPE. MY FRONT WHEELS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.*AK
