Brake Disc Rotor problems of the 1997 Chrysler LHS

Two problems related to brake disc rotor have been reported for the 1997 Chrysler LHS. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 10/15/1999

At 38,430 miles the rotors were so warped that at 60 mph at hard braking if you were not expecting it and holding on tight the steering wheel could twist out of your hands. The problem was corrected at my expense. Now at 49,650 the problem is starting again. The car has not had hard use and why should the brakes encounter such a problem at such low mileage? this is obviously a Chrysler defect and they should be responsible for correction and refunds to the consumer for previous work. In looking at the past web history on the car I find other notes where people have experienced the same low mileage problems. Something needs to be done.

2 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Front brake rotors rusted, causing warping, and resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has replaced the rotors.
