I HAVE PURCHASED 2 SETS OF NEW TIRES...MICHELIN & GOODYEAR. EACH TIME I TRY TO GET THIS VEHICLE ALIGNED IT WILL NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT AT ANY SPEED. THE TIRE COMPANY SAYS IT IS ANY ALIGNMENT PROBLEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE TIRES DUE TO THE ABNORMAL WEAR(ONLY INSIDE OF TIRES WORN). THE CAR BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT SEEMS TO BE A FRONT END PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE ALIGNMENT SHOP.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE REPLACED A $5.00 WIRE FOR ABOUT $150.00. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WAS JERKING AND LOSING POWER AND THE ABS LIGHT WAS GOING ON AND OFF. I THEN TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND IT TOOK THEM ALL DAY FROM 8AM TILL 5PM TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE ABS HYDRAULIC COMPONENT FOR THE FRONT BRAKES. IT COST $1600.00 DOLLARS MORE TO FIX IT. THESE BRAKES HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES FOR NEW BRAKES AND 2 TIMES FOR THE ABS. IT STILL SHAKES WHEN YOU STOP FROM SPEED FASTER THAN 30MPH! *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
IN SEPTEMBER OF 1999, THE FRONT LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS REPLACED AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL NOTICE(#97V201000). IN JANUARY OF 2000, THE PROBLEM RESURFACED AND THE SAME LOW PITCH GRINDING NOISE I HEARD PRIOR TO THE RECALL FIX HAD RETURNED . I PROMPTLY RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND ADVISED THEM THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAD IN SEPTEMBER. THEY INSPECTED THE FRONT END AND ADVISED ME THAT BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISER THAT I HAD THIS PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY AND THAT AT LEAST THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD BEEN REPLACED ONLY A FEW MONTHS EARLY. THE SERVICE ADVISER THEN INFORMED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NO WAY RELATED TO THE RECALL AND I WOULD BE CHARGE $1400 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS BUT KNOW ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO RESOLVED THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING ME A FORTUNE. I HAVE ALSO CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE BUT THEY WERE JUST AS BAD AS THE DEALERSHIPS. WHAT IS MY NEXT COURSE OF ACTION TO TRY AND HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? *AK
