My 01 Chrysler Pt Cruiser, 25,602 miles, had a stiff brake pedal. Car felt as if I was driving w/foot on brake. Chrysler towed car to dealer. They said I had contaminated brake fluid, repairs not covered by regular or ext. Warranty. My bill for repair was $2643. 48. They replaced all brake system components.
2001 Pt Cruiser, caliper freezing to rotor causing brake pads to wear down to medal and rotor to turn blue, only on passenger front side of vehicle. I have the brake pads from the vehicle and the pads from the driver's side look like new. I filed a complaint with daimler Chrysler over the warranty on the caliper and contemporary Chrysler dodger said it was "normal wear" and "brake dust and dirt particles" that cause the caliper to stick? I believe it is not normal for one side to be worn down to the medal? the right rear caliper froze and caused the same problem at approximately. 20,316 mi. But the service was performed at a different dealer. Also, causing shimmy in the front end.
