DT: THE CONTACT STATED TOOK VEHICLE TO A SERVICE DEALER BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED OVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, ALMOST CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE. WHEN THE VEHICLE FINALLY DID START IT HAD A ROUGH IDLE, BUT CONTINUED TO RUN. THIS ONLY HAPPENED DURING THE MORNING WHEN THE CONTACT FIRST STARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT MAY NOT START BACK UP. THE CONSUMER RENTED A VEHICLE ANY TIME HE NEEDED TO GO OUT OF TOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, BUT THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT DID SAY THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED TO CONTACT THEM AND THEY WILL COME OUT AND LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. *AK

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. WE OWN A 2000 CHRYSLER CIRRUS LX AND A 2003 CHRYSLER VAN, SO THE CIRRIS IS ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 4000 MILES A YEAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, WHICH I HAVE COMPLAINT ABOUT EACH TIME IT'S SERVICED. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT'S JUST DUST IN THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR INSPECTION, AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES HAD DISINTEGRATED, THE ROTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THE BACK CYLINDERS WERE LEAKING. THE BRAKE PADS ARE HARDLY WORN IN THE CENTER, BUT ARE DISINTEGRATING IN THE ENDS. THEM MANUFACTURE INDICATED THAT THE BRAKE PADS DISINTEGRATED FROM NON-USE. I SPOKE TO OTHER CHRYSLER VAN OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK AFTER CHECKING THE VEHICLE THE MECHANIC FOUND THE CYLINDERS LEAKING SO THEY WERE REPLACED. *TC

DURING A REQUIRED INSPECTION OF MY WIFES 2002 CHRYSLER CIRRIS VIN#1C3EJ46XYN297907 THE BRAKE LININGS WERE DISENGRATING(BOTH ENDS OF THE FRONT BRAKES) BACK BRAKE SEALS LEAKING.THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT JUNE OF 2000 SHE AVERAGES 4,000 PER YEAR 17,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS KEPT IN AHEATED GARAGE AND HAS BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALER WHERE SHE BOUGHT IT FOR REG. MAINT. AND INSPECTION.(WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES SQUEALING FROM THE IST YEAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS JUST THE OPEN BRAKES NOW DAYS AND IT IS JUST ROAD DIRT. ALL ALONG IT WAS THE BRAKE PADS DISINGRATING. IT COST $500.00 TO REPLACE . SINCE WE HAD COMPLAIND EACH TIME I FEEL IT WAS THE DEALER NOT WANTING TO CHANGE THEM WHEN THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CONSUMER LINE AND WAS TOLD WHAT DID I EXPECT' THE BRAKES DISINIGRATED FROM NON-USE SINCE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ONLY 4,000 PER YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO FIGHT THEM AND MY ATORNEY SAID CHRYSLER WOULD TIE EVERYTHING UP SO LONG IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH TO SUE. SO THERE AGAIN THE GUY WITH THE MONEY WINS FAIR OR NOT. I FEEL LIKE A FOOL AS I HAVE TALKE OTHERS INTO BUYING CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND AM SURE NOW THEY WILL GET THE SAME TREATMENT.IF SOMETHNG IS WRONG WITH THER VEHICLES. THANK YOU DEL LANDFRIED PS I HAVE THE PARTS. *AK
