The vibrations got worse but the roads where the same. I took it in the direct auto plaza, in el centro ca. And they said it was my rotors,…

Disc brakes continually need work. Rotors warp and must be turned every 10,000 miles! Now the automatic transmission won't shift out of 2nd gear until the car is warmed up. What next? The brake maintenance alone has cost me nearly $2,000. This is a $30,000 vehicle and should not require this much maintenance! *la

At around 15,000 miles, we began to experience the steering wheel shimming excessively when the brakes were applied. I knew that this was caused by warped rotors so i called the dealership.

Rotors are warping at 15,000 mile intervals. Dealer says they are having numerous complaints regarding warped brake rotors but they say not covered under warranty. They claim the rotors are not made durable enough (thick enough) for the vehicle. When the rotors warp the vehicle vibrates when the brakes are applied. In my opinion it would appear the mfg is using defective rotors since the brake pads are outlasting…

Had replaced brake rotors twice and is happening a third time. Chrysler needs to be informed by someone with authority and action needs to be taken to fix the problem. I have asked for a replacement vehicle and was told "no" by a secretary of chrysler. There is no way of talking to anyone who has any standing or who makes these decisions. Please help. Spent a lot of money on vehicle thinking that it is reliable.…
