| Description of the problem | We purchased the vehicle new. After replacing brakes 4 times, we still have pulsing when we brake and the steering wheel shakes horribly. There are only 36,000miles on the vehicle and we have also had to replace the tires due to cupping. No one knows what is causing the problem, they just keep replacing the brakes only to have them continue to pulse. I can't believe any of the mechanics that have looked at the vehicle would enjoy driving a vehicle like this, still we are stuck with it. I read on one site that it could be the calipers; maybe chrysler should look into it. We hold our breath that we will stop when we put on the brakes. Why isn't chrysler made accountable for faulty brakes/calipers when it could cause an accident? |
