“I bought my Chrysler tc new and within 2 years and only 20, 248 miles my brakes are gone. Chrysler said it was my heavy foot. Now 2 years later brakes are out again and I only have 45,300 miles on this car and it isn't my foot. Chrysler has a brake problem. Going down the highway I press the brakes and there is this growling noise.”
NHTSA complaint #10395564, filed 2011-04, 45,300 miles“Left rear brake drum locked up in garage and vehicle had to be towed. Show owner said it appeared to have been in water or sat for a long time.. The vehicle is garage kept, was never in water and never sat long as I drive 57 miles five days a week. I was charged $66.00 to clean the drum. The vehicle had 16,000 miles on it at the time.”
NHTSA complaint #10176843, filed 2006-12, 16,000 miles“First time this happened when I was slowing down to come to a stop. The van shut down. No brakes. No steering. Put vehicle in park and it started right up again. It happened a 3-4 more times after that with similar circumstances. No rhyme or reason to when it would happen. On june 12, it happened again. On june 19, I took it to a mechanic who checked it out and said he hooked it up to different computers and couldn't find anything wrong. He drained the power steering fluid and put in new fluid. …”
NHTSA complaint #10617598, filed 2014-07, 88,542 miles“No ABS installed on my van. Chrysler says was optional. Didn't know to ask. Have been in one collision where I believe had I not hit another vehicle I would have ended up in a worse collision with a railroad track. Another incident occured at a stop sign. Thank god nothing was coming in the other directions.”
NHTSA complaint #10204347, filed 2007-09, 15 miles“Parking brake assembly builds up with brake dust causing rear wheels to make a honing sound. I have been to the shop 3 times in 2 months with the same problem. My Chrysler Town And Country (2006) only has 17000 miles on it and they told me I would just have to have it cleaned and lubed at least once a year. I have never had to do that with any other vehicle I have ever owned. Please help me to fix this annoyance.”
