| 1998 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | I PURCHASED THIS VAN DEC 2010. I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AT 9PM DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR - NO BRAKES. NEXT DAY I TOOK TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD ALL THE LINES WERE RUSTED AND NEEDED REPLACED. I HAD ALL NEW BRAKE LINES INSTALLED FRONT TO BACK BY A REPAIR SHOP IN MARCH 2011. ONCE AGAIN, I HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM TODAY, JUST OVER A YEAR- EXCEPT THE LINES WERE NOT RUSTED. 08/21/2012 - DRIVING ON A STATE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH COMING TO A STOP LIGHT SLOWING DOWN, SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES. FLUID WAS GUSHING OUT BY THE REAR TIRE. I PULLED TO GAS STATION AND THE FLUID WAS LEAKING/DRIPPING OUT. THE MORE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED THE MORE FLUID WAS FORCED OUT. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT EVEN KILLED. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS 1 PM IN THE AFTERNOON. I MOVED FROM INDIANA 6/1/2011 TO FLORIDA. THE VAN NOW HAS 180,000 MILES. *TR |
| 2008 | PARKING BRAKE | I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH REFERENCE TO THE RECURRING BRAKE PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE (COMPLAINT #10300223). THIS WEEK THE BRAKES ARE AGAIN MAKING NOISES AND VIBRATING SPECIALLY IN THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME WE EXPERIENCE IT, THEY ALREADY REPAIRED, REPLACED AND REBUILT THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES TWICE. I AM CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. AT THIS POINT, I WANT TO RECUR TO THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW BUT CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING ME. I BEG YOU HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE PLEASE. I DO ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WE ALSO EXPERIENCE A STEERING FLUID HOSE FAILURE, "NOT UNDER WARRANTY" AT THE SAME TIME, COST $250. ALSO WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RUBBER COVER FOR THE PARKING BRAKE SO YOUR FOOT DON'T SLIP, THEY SAID THEY DON'T SALE THAT PART, WE HAD TO BUY THE WHOLE PARKING BRAKE LEVER, ANOTHER $200. THIS IS AN ABUSE TO THE CONSUMER. [XXX] *TR |
