Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Sebring. The contact stated while having the vehicle serviced by an independent mechanic, she was informed that the brakes, rotors, and calipers all needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure had since recurred every two months. The vehicle will be taken back to the repair shop where the brakes, rotors, and calipers would be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 70,000. Rvk.
When braking moderately, the front wheels shimmy and cause the steering wheel to vibrate so badly that you can not hold on to it. Could cause loss of control and an accident. It does not happen when braking lightly or hard unless you had already been braking moderately. Took vehicle to dealer and was told it was caused by warped rotors and since this was a component of the brake system, it was only covered by warranty for 12 months/12,000 miles. The vehicle had been in service for 17 months and had 19,000 miles on it. This could be a real safety hazard. I would think the warranty would cover the rotors, calipers, and brake lines but not the disk pads or shoes. Rotors should not warp in 17 months or 19,000 miles.
