SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
DRIVING IN OUR CAR WE EXPERIENCED A LOUD NOISE FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE CAR, TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL GOODYEAR MECHANIC, HE STATED AND SHOWED ME THAT THE CALIPERS WERE NOT FUNCITIONING CORRECTLY IN THE REAR, BOTH INBOARD BRAKE PADS WERE METAL TO METAL WHILE THE OUTBOARD PADS WERE LIKE NEW. THANKFULLY WE HEARD THE NOISE SO A BRAKE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THIS WAS ABNORMAL AND A PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, NO REPLACEMENT OR SERVICE TO THE CALIPERS WERE MADE. I AM NOW WAITING FOR IT TO PREMATURELY WEAR OUT AGAIN. THE DEALER EXCLAIMED THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN A CAR WEAR OUT THAT QUICKLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE PADS. I BELIEVE IT IS A CALIPER FAILURE, CONFIRMED BY THE GOODYEAR SERVICE PERSON. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMMITION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2000. IT SHIFS HARD AND AT TIMES SEEMS TO MISS 2ND GEAR. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY SO DODGE WOULD NOT AUTHERIZE MONDAY CHEV. (WHO I BOUGHT IT FROM)TO DO THE REPAIRES. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS AN ADJUSTMENT, SECOND WAS A MODUAL CHANGE OUT AND SO WAS THE 3RD REPAIR. ON THE FOURTH TIME OF TAKING THE CAR TO TO ONE OF THE DODGE DEALERS THEY SAID THEY "DID A COMPLEAT OVERHAUL OF THE TRANSMMITION". AT THIS TIME I AM STILL HAVING TROOUBLE WITH THE SHIFTING. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK THIS MORNING AND THE THROUTAL STUCK OPEN WHEN I STEPED ON THE GAS.THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARENTY. THERE WAS A RECALL IN JULY 2001ON THE HOSE TO THE BRAKE EACH TIME I CONTACTED ARCHER DODGE THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN TO MAKE THE REPAIR. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT NEEDS TO GO INTO THE SHOP AGAIN AND I AM SURE THIS HAS SOMEETHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
