Consumer Description

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP AND THEN A PULSATION IS CONSTANTLY FELT FROM THAT POINT ON UNTIL RESUFACING OF THE ROTORS IS PERFORMED. ORIGINAL DEALER WAS ASKED AND SERVICE ADVISOR STATED IT WAS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST, THEY ALL DO THAT. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS IN FOR BRAKE SERVICE, AT SANDY MCKIE CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH DODGE IN FOX LAKE ILLINOIS, THE WARPING RETURNED WITHIN 1500 MILES AND THE TECHNICIAN FAILED TO TIGHTEN ALL 10 LUGNUTS HOLDING THE FRONT WHEELS ON. THE RADIO DECIDES NOT TO ACCEPT C.D.S AND WAS REPLACED TWICE. THE SUNROOF HAD BAD RATTLING AND IT TOOK NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER BEFORE THEY COULD CURE THE PROBLEM. DEALER CLAIMS SUNROOF SHADE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE. THE FOG LAMPS LOOSE THEIR SEAL AND FILL WITH MOISTURE. TWO OCCASIONS SO FAR. *AK
