Consumer took car into dealer for a squeak. Mechanic noticed that the rotors were heat struck and pitted. They were not able to fix the rotors, they had to replace them. Rotors on jeeps from 96-99 had been recalled, possible that these chrysler rotors might be defective also. *ak
1997 Plymouth Voyager brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dealer stated that rotors were rusty and pitted. Yet the brake pads were only 25% worn out.
While driving at approx. 65 MPH, a vibration was noted from under the vehicle. Shortly thereafter, when attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal went to the floor, and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. Driver pulled into the median on us 15, and the grass and mud slowed the wehicle to a stop. Dealer was unable to replicate the problem, and denied any history of similar problems.
Vehicle was sitting in the yard. When moving the right wheel was locked up. Called boniface-hiers chrysler-dodge, merrit island cswy, merrit island, fl 32952 and had the vehicle towed to them. Next day they called and said the brake shoe was rusted to the drum. Cost of repair $90.00. Clean break and turn drumb. Picked vehicle up and break was draging. Made another appt. And took vehicle back. Was told break drum was out of round. They turned the drumb again and put it back together. The break is still draging. Was told not to drive the vehicle through water puddles by the service advisor..have heard that there is a directive out on the rear break cylinders but not sure????( dot number: )
This van, slightly over 1 year old, has a history of stalling, windshield wipers going on without reason and off, radio breaking, tape player making noise when not used and the brakes went out the first time, I was told it was fixed, and the very next day they went out again almost causing a serious accident and deaths. This is serious and I would like to know actions taken by the federal safety agency concerning this as I have seen many other instances/complaints of stalling, windshield wiper problems and serious brake defects and breakdowns on the federal safety agency's customer complaints on the internet. I believe that the federal safety agency should give more serious investigative attention against daimler chrysler concerning the stalling and brake problems as this is putting people's lives in danger it seems on a constant and re-occuring basis!
