Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 1 k i noticed a vibration when i applied the brakes. at first i thought it was my front rotors. took it to dealer. they checked it out and they replaced the rear brake shoes. it was good until about 4500 miles. the vibrations started again. during interstate driving if i had to apply the brakes suddenly the vibration was very violent. took it back to dealer. told me that they would have to order new brake drums. at 5700 miles the new drums were installed. the vibration was still there with an additional popping sound when i applied the brakes. took it back the next day. can you believe that the new drums were warped? the dealer put the original drums back on. they contacted chrysler and they want to balance the tires. *jb
