Brake Disc Rotor problems of the 1998 Chrysler Sebring

Four problems related to brake disc rotor have been reported for the 1998 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

Brake pedal pulsated, premature failure of rotors. Pads not failed.

2 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Rotors constantly being replaced or turned; vibration bad; now dealer blaming it on weak wheels.

3 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Front and rear brake rotors are excessively warping which is causing severe shaking in the steering wheel. Please give any further details.

4 Brake Disc Rotor problem

My brake "dummy light" came on so I took it into a Chrysler service department to have it checked out. The service manager told me it would cost $450 to have the rotors replaced. My fairly new car only has 27,300 miles on it and should not need this done so early. After some investigation, I found out that this was a common problem with this model/make of car. I was told that Chrysler has told their service departments that rotors need to be replaced, not turned. But since, they feel they should be replaced so early, it should be at the manufacturer's expense.
