| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I noticed that at highway speeds 50-65 mph the van would shutter violently when the brakes were applied making it very hard to stop and also causing the van to pull left or right. at lower speeds i had the same results. i notified the dealer about this problem and was told this was normal reaction of the braking system. which i found to be quit odd since i've never exsprienced this type of problem before on a chrysler product. finally with 23075 miles, i took the van in to have the front rotors changed because they where found to be (warped). please note that i took the van to an outside vender (brake systems of america)where they did a full inspection of the braking system,and test driving the van they found that the front rotors where warped.also note the reason they didn't repair the van was because they said it might void the chrysler warranty.is this a wide spread problem with the 2001 chrysler and dodge products premature warping of either the front or rear rotors or a manufacturing, quality control issue which ever the consumer is getting stuck footing the repair bill. |
