| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: A rear brake lining separated from the shoe. i found the problem the first time while greasing the rear wheel bearings. the loose shoe was still in place captured by the caliper. i reported the problem to my dealer. i was told there had been a recall: campaign number 92v017000, but my 1990 vehicle was not part of the recall since it effected 1989 models. however, i convinced the dealer i did have the problem since i had a lining that separated from the shoe. the dealer replaced my rear brakes at that time. i have no record of the service date, and the dealer claims he has no record, although he also has no record of the recall service that was done to correct a problem with water collecting in a rear wheel well either. two days ago, i was again greasing the rear wheel bearings on this vehicle and i discovered the exact same problem! one of the brake linings was separated from the shoe again! i am very concerned for two reasons. first, the original recall did not correct all the defective brakes. my 1990 chrysler lebaron obviously had the problem even though chrysler insisted it effected only 1989 models and my vin number was not included. second, parts used after the recall was announced, still exhibit the same problem. this is a serious safety issue! |
