| Description of the problem | When the vehicle had only 12000 miles my front tires were completely bare (like racing slicks). Was taken to 2 dealerships and they looked at the van and found nothing wrong that would cause the tire wear (alignment was fine). I fought and fought with chrysler to pay for them, which they finally did about 3 weeks after the problem was addressed. Now my vehicle has 15000 miles and while driving all you can hear is noises (almost like road noise but its from the front end). Most likely, wheel bearings, ball joint, tie rods etc. On 10/21/11, while pulling out of my driveway low and behold what do you here, nothing but the sound of grinding brakes. No sign of brake having a issues the day before when driven. This particular van that i purchased brand new (with 2 miles on it) clearly is a lemon and has faulty parts or something majorly wrong with it. None of these parts of the vehicle should be going at this amount of miles. As always, chrysler and its' dealers say there is nothing wrong with the it. |
