Severely corroded brake lines, lines blew. Near miss accident. This is a common complaint across mfrs. Had the same incident 1 month ago on 1997 gm product. Well maintained cars with severely corroded fuel and brake lines. I bet it can be traced to a cheap supplier that supplied the big 3 for a period of years. No corrosion resistance on the steel. Can't blame this on ne winter salt. My oem 1964 looks better than my late model vehicles.

Brakes hiss and get hard when temp drops below 32 degrees, suddenly and without warning. Unable to stop. Took to mechanic, who discovered the master cylinder and brake booster was ruined due to rust, because water runs into the area from windshield drainage points. This is a design flaw which allows leakage directly into the brake booster/master cylinder area. Car is now in shop to have both parts replaced ( ~$500-600). Chrysler should cover these repairs and issue a recall before someone dies. Although the parts will be replaced there is no guarantee how long before they will be rusted out and fail again.

I have a 1999 dodge intrepid that blew a rod at 72,000 miles with no warning. We replaced the engine for about $3,000 and two weeks ago at 102,000 miles I started to hear a rapping sound that was probably another rod, but before the engine could blow another rod something in the timing snapped, so now I am left with a lawn ornament that I can't afford to fix and I am still paying for. Not to mention the various other items we have had to replace like the A/C condenser for $600.00 and the speed sensors, that was another $300.00. This car is the biggest lemon I have ever bought.
