| 1997 | AIR BAGS | AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTANTLY DURING TURNS AND BRAKING. TOOK TO A DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND AN OPEN CLOCKSPRING CIRCUIT. THEY REPLACED THE CLOCKSPRING. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSIGHT AND FOUND AN ODI ACTION FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM ON AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE. THERE WAS ALSO A RECENT CONSUMER COMPLAINTS SUMMARY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE.*AK |
| 2004 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR | THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQEAKING AND WHEN I LET OFF OF THEM THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GRABBING. THERE IS ALSO LOTS OF BRAKES DUST ON MY FRONT RIMS. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3/15/04. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERS SAID THE BRAKE NOISE IS NORMAL. THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES ON 3/17 AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK 8/17 BECAUSE OF THE FRONT END PULLING AND ASKED THAT THEY CHECK MY BRAKES AGAIN. THE ROTORS WERE WARPED SO THEY "TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS". I ASKED WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS AND THEY SAID DRIVING WITH 2 FEET OR IT COULD ALSO HAPPEN IF THE ROTORS ARE HOT AND IT STARTS TO RAIN AND COLD WATER HITS THEM. THEY BLAME THE DRIVER. IT ONLY HAD 7539 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT BACK 8/23 BECAUSE I DO NOT HEAR OR FEEL A CHANGE IN THE BRAKES. THEYTEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL NOISES THAT I WAS HEARING AND NOTHING IS WRONG.*AK |
