| Description of the problem | Front wheel lock up on slick road-snow-mud. I have had it to garage several times. Very dangerous, one mechanic was about to wreck trying it out. Other mechanic said that you could not stop it on slick road except when it was in 4-wheel. Front wheels lock and you can steer. Chry. Finaly sent rep. In this week but he drove it in level dry field, he said that nothing was wrong with it. I dont drive it in snowy weather, will chrysler reimburse me or pay for damages if i shouild wreck? |
