“Brake rotors, shake in steering wheel, at 60 miles hr., june 17,1999, manufacturer took care of, after I complained to them, had 13,714 miles at the time. Now here we are again with same problem, may 2001 shake in steering wheel at 60 miles per hr., rotors again, 36,700 miles, repair not completed now in the shop!”
NHTSA complaint #744825, filed 2001-05“Rear brakes improperly adjusted by manufacturer, resulting in front brakes overloading and warping the front brake rotors. Dealer adjusted the rear brakes and replaced the front brake rotors. Since the repairs were covered under warrantly, I assume that Chrysler (now daimler/Chrysler) is aware of the problem. I have a 1997 Chrysler Concorde which had the identical problem at approximately 12,000 miles. Very disconcerting to have such a safety-related problem with a car costing upwards of $25,000.”
