Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had this ongoing problem with my 1996 dodge intrepid with the brakes. first i thought i just needed new brakes. well i had new brakes put on the car and then a week later, the brakes caught on fire. which damaged the new brakes, the rotar, the calliper, and the spindle. then two weeks later i took the car for the fuel regulater to be replaced and the rotars needed to be turned again already. then in another week and a half the brakes caught on fire again. there is absolutely no sense in this kind of trouble with a brake system. i am a single mother and i have to drive my car with my son in there. it is my belief that if you are gonna make a product you should stand behind it. engine wise the car seems to be fine runs like a charm but that doesnt do me a bit of good if i cant drive it. among the fact that i cant afford to pay for all this trouble with it and pay for the car too.*ak
