“Chrysler Cirrus lxi 2000 with 65,000 miles on this car I am now going for my third set of brakes not counting the brakes the car came with. The second time I replaced them I had to get rotors also. I will never buy another Chrysler.”

I have been having an ongoing problem with the brakes, which I have complaint about each time it's serviced. The dealership tells me it's just dust in them. The vehicle was in for inspection, and they said the brakes had disintegrated, the rotors needed replacement and the back cylinders were leaking. The brake pads are hardly worn in the center, but are disintegrating in the ends. …”
