2002 CHRYSLER 300M Complaints

WHEN HAVING ROUTINE SERVICE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AT 22,000 MILES, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE ROTORS ON THE FRONT BRAKES WERE WARPED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY THE "BUMPER-TO-BUMPER" 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. RATHER, THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR BRAKE ROTORS IS 12,000 MILES. I PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT BUT NOTE THAT I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AT WELL OVER 12,000 MILES AND THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS THAT IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH PREMATURE WEAR ON DISC BRAKE ROTORS, BUT HAS CHOSEN TO ADDRESS IT BY LIMITING THE WARRANTY RATHER THAN FIXING THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING IF VEHICLE HIT THE SLIGHTEST PUMP IN THE ROAD, IT WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT. THIS RESULTS IN LOST OF CONTROL OF STEERING AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN NJ ROUTE 1/9 (NORTHERN NJ), THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE GLASS BLEW UP AND PORTIONS FELL ONTO MY LAP AND ALSO INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SPACE. THE GLASS BUBBLED UP AS IF THE EXPLOSION CAME FROM THE INSIDE OUT. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION, THERE WAS GLASS NOT ONLY ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, THERE WAS GLASS IN EACH CREVICE ON THE EXTERIOR. THERE WERE NO EXTERNAL FOREIGN OBJECTS FOUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE GLASS WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH.*AK

THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES IN IDENTICAL SINERIOS. AS YOU GO TO PARK CAR YOU APPLY BRAKE AS YOU APPROACH WHEEL STOP. AT APROX. 10MPH THE BRAKE IS RELEASED AND THEN REAPPLIED FOR FINAL STOP. I'TS THEN THE CAR ACCELERATES.WHEN THIS HAPPENED I KEPT BRAKE ON AND SAW ME TACHOMETER SHOWING 200RPM. WITHIN THE NEXT 5 SECONDS APROX,THE ENGINE RETURNS BACK TO IDLE. I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR TO YOU AND TOMMORROW 7/22/2002 I'M GOING TO THE DEALER REPAIR SHOP TO MAKE COMPLAINT.*AK
