Paint is peeling off in sheets,the brakes don't slow the vehicle cosistanly,sometimes when you push on the brake it like you don't have brakes at all but the dealer swears there "normal" the whole wheel assembly fell off the car doing 65 MPH I think chyrsler is waiting for this car to kill some one before they acknowledge that it is a lemon and it would not surprise me if that happens and now you are aware of it to I wish some one would wake up an buy this lemon back before there are fatalities.the transmission decided to go into 1st gear while I was driving one (talk about overreving and ubruptly slowing down) feel sorry for the guy behind me .it hasn't done that again though or should I say yet.just waiting to have more problems.I can't sell it,the thought of giving someone else these pro blems turns my stomach.how much do you think I could get after making full disclosure.maybe you guys can buy it and disect it. Maybe that way us americans that pay your salary will be spared in the future.I'm stuck with a death trap and I even have documentation of all these problems.I guess when it finally does kill somebody the attoneys will love my record keeping.

When the pedal is released and quickly redrpressed the brake power is restored.chrysler motor corporation has been contacted about the failures. The local dealer performermed a prom test but could not determine the nature of the failure. The local dealer then suggested that the master cylinder was most likely faulty, but refused to cover it under a the federal safety agency recall. An automotive repair shop replaced the master cylinder at a cost of $600. The brakes failed again after the master cylinder was replace. The failure was reported to chysler who suggested a second dealer to check the ABS system. The second dealer performed a series of test to the vehicle braking system and determined that the ABS accumulator pump assembly was defective and replaced it at a cost of more than $319.00. The delearship refused to cover the repair under the recall, and the local zone manager refused to replaced those parts outlined in the federal safety agency bulletin as related to this type of failure.

Less than one week after the second repair the vechile again experienced intermittent brake failure, of the same type (loss of braking and pedal power). This incident occured on august 30,1999. The failure was reported to the dealer, who suggested that the vechile was unsafe to drive and towed it back for examination. The dealer then preformed tests and reported that the brake sensors were not properly calibrated. The dealer was asked to perform the repairs as mandated by the federal safety agency. The dealer refused to perform the repairs stating that the test did not indicate they were necessary. The repairs to the ABS brake sensors were made at a cost of more than $149.00 plus towing.
