Car has 25 thousand miles. Under warranty, rotors were "turned". At 18 thousand, rotors and brakes pads replaced. At 25000, rotors are warped and need to be replaced. Chrysler has a design flaw in their braking system that causes rotors to warp and brake with much vibration. Two service bulletins exist. Chrysler should recall the vehicle before injuries occur.*ak
