“Had to have break lines replaced-they removed cross member to access line and removed and manufacture tube and replace. $442.91 for 5 hours of labor and parts---my car was the 7th car in one week to need this expensive repair from a Chrysler car. Garage tells me this is due to calcium on roads or cheap steal from Chrysler. I feel due to poor quality of the Chrysler product-- help me out.”
