Example complaints
Brakes: “I had to replace both front rotors because they rusted to the point of compressing. I understand 1989 to 1991 were recalled for this same problem. What I don't understand is why my 92 wasn't recalled if it has the same problem. My braking was so poor that I went ahead and spent almost $300.00 and replaced rotors after I complained to chrysler and they said they whould not pay for it. I have old rotors if someone is interested in looking at them. Thankyou ken”
