| 2005 | SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK | HAD BRAKES SERVICED 11/2/07. ABS LIGHT CAME ON THE VERY SAME DAY. TECH SAID IT WAS JUST A SENSOR FAILURE, BUT CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ON DEC. 22, LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WENT OFF. ON DEC. 23, LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF. ON DEC. 24, LIGHT CAME ON AND I EXPERIENCED A GRINDING WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES. SENT IT TO DEALER BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. PICKED IT UP ON DEC. 26. PICKED IT UP AND HAD TO PUT IT BACK IN DEC. 27 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SENT TO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WHO SAYS I NEED A NEW ABS MODULE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH THAT TELLS ME THAT PURCHASING A NEW ABS MODULE WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. *CN |
| 2006 | SUSPENSION | AFTER DRIVING A NEW 2066 FWD BASIC PACIFICA OFF THE DEALER LOT, I NOTICED A GENERAL PULL TO THE RIGHT EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND STARTED A PROCESS OF COMPLAINING AND HAVING THE CAR DRIVEN BY CHRYSLER EMPLOYEES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A TECHNICAL ADVISOR FOR THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE, BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE DOES NOT EVEN FEEL A PULL TO THE RIGHT AND BY A SENIOR CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN THAT PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHEN ACCELERATION IS DUE TO ROAD CROWN SENSITIVITY. I FIND THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WITHOUT KEEPING BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND ALWAYS BEING CONSCIENCE OF WHAT I AM DOING. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF A VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN ON TODAY'S HIGHWAYS AND HOPE THAT FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THAT THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY BEEN INFORMED BY FORMER EMPLOYEES THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WHEN THE CHRYSLER VAN WAS FIRST INTRODUCED. *JB |
