1996 Chrysler LHS Brakes Problems

“Replaced rotors 3 times,at 11,000 mi. 20,894 mi. And now at 36,000 mi. Thats an average of 9,000 miles per set of rotors all due to warping and pitting. Company accepeted cost of one set of rotors but I had to pay labor costs of over $200.00 plus pads that were torn up due to pieces of the rotor breaking off. …”

“Consumer was aproaching a red light and there was a vehicle in front. Consumer attempted to slow down, but brakes failed to stop vehicle and rear ended vehicle in front of him. Upon impact air bags on drivers side and passengers side did not deploy. Car was totalled.”

“There was an extremely loud shutter and shake when this happened. Car does seem to operate the same since this problem. Gas mileage has gone down by three mpg, even after a tune up by Chrysler and fuel system cleaning. Shortly after some fuses blew., now at 75,000 there is a lound growning sound when you steer to the left. Brakes have been replaced and need it again. Airconditioner has funny damp smell. How does one find out if this car has been in an accident?”
