Since the brake disc rotor was recalled on my car I wondered whether any other owners had a problem with the rusting of front axle joints and calipers hanging up. Thank you!
This vehicle has cost us over $3,000 in the first 1 year and half we have owned it. I have never owned a vehicle with this little of mileage and had everything go up. We feel this auto is a total lemon and people should be made aware of the problems of this particular vehicle. We have never towed anything nor had it on anything other surface other than a paved road. I'm not sure what if anything you can do for us, but letting the federal safety agency know about this vehicle is some reassurance. What really upsets me is that we bought this vehicle from a supposed reputable dealer. Thank you for your time. I'd appreciate any information you can provide me on this particular vehicle as far as any other owner complaints etc. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. No safety defect listed within summary.
Consumer feels if manufacturer recalls brakes, they should also recall rotors.
Front disc pads and rotors failed prior to recall notice 00v‑136, consumer request reimbursement. Nlm
I sent a detailed letter to daimler chrysler after being refused by dealer. They only refunded my money for the cost of the front rotors. They would not reimburse me for the labor charges. I can't understand how they can do that when I had them replaced before the recall. That should show there is a problem. I wrote about all my problems with this "lemon" but I could not claim it was a lemon because I was leasing it at the time and in pa, a vehicle can only be declared a "lemon" when it is purchased, not leased. Very dissatisfied with daimler/chrysler because they simply washed their hands of the entire problem. I have other problems to report, along with the receipts to prove they were investigated but nothing was ever done to correct the problems. Please contact me to forward all receipts proving complaints before warranty expired. Thank you
Right side rotor hub separated from braking surface disc causing no braking response from that wheel. My brother replaced rotors the same day discovering that the left side rotor was cracked also. After repairs were made, I found the recall on the internet. I feel wv should be included in your recall list as the mountain roads are dangerous to drive. I would like to be reimbursed for my out of pocket expenses for this occurrence.
Vehicle experienced failure of the recall component (00v‑136) prior to recall notification, consumer requesting reimbursement.
Defective rear brake rotors corroded. There was recall for front rotors, and this vehicle was included for that recall. But, the problem also existed in the rear rotors, but they were not included in recall. Please provide further information.
Vehicle experienced problems with pulling which caused the tires to wear prematurely.
Vehicle experienced failure of the recall component (00v‑136) on several occasions prior to recall notification, consumer is requesting reimbursement.

When brakes are applied on uneven surfaces they will not work properly. A technician told consumer that it is a regular situation. *ak
Rear brake rotors have cracked and corroded to the point where dealer cannot machine them down. Rotors had to be replaced. *ak front rotors were replaced under recall 879.
Steel leaf springs on both sides of the vehicle started breaking.
Brake system malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance.
Front brake rotor problem was covered by daimler recall 879. Seems that rear brake rotors should have been covered, too, since they needed to be replaced for the same reason of corrosion.
