| Description of the problem | after random amounts of normal driving speedometer starts bouncing at idle from 0-5 mph then abs and brake warning lights illuminate after ariving at dealer i was told it was caused by a leaking abs connector that was "improperly desigened" and all they could do was clean it out and fill it with electromagnetic grease . I was also told (by more than one dealer)that i was not the only one with this problem and daimler chrysler has been no help other than letting me lodge a complaint and sending me a letter of apology both times happened under 9,000 miles and thankfully have not happend again (i'm at about 15,000 miles) |
