Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Chrysler Sebring

The front rotors are so thin when installed on new car that when you need to replace the pads, the rotors are too thin to turn so they must be replaced also. This turns a $99. 00 repair into a $350. 00 one.

Consumer owned 2005 touring Chrysler Mini van. She took vehicle to dealer for an 18000 mile routine service, vehicle had 17000 miles on it. Dealer informed consumer that front brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. Dealer told consumer that vehicle was not safe to drive. The repair was done on July 19, 2005. Consumer got the impression that even the dealer did not wan to do anything for it, that the brake wear was not normal, and since this van was heavier than other vans she felt that manufacturer may not have taken into account the weight of the vehicle. Maybe the brakes should be heavier duty.

Consumer took vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions, there was a noise in the brakes caused by the rotors which were chipped and scratched.

On 2/5/05 car started to vibrate every time I applied the brake. I took the car to the dealer 2/8/05. The rep called to say the car needed brake pads and that the rotors could not be turned because the problem had gone on too long. When asked what problem he indicated that the brakes had been scraping. I told him that was not true. He then indicated that the rotors were warped and that a lot of Sebrings and 300 m's came in for warped rotors. I asked if that were not an indication that the rotors were defective. He answered, well yes and no. On a car with less than 40,000 miles, the brakes and rotors were replaced. My ticket only shows that they were replaced. If the dealer does not report potential problems to the manufacturer how can consumers be safe. Warped rotors could compromise the abs system and bring great bodily harm to the driver, passengers, and anyone hit by the vehicle.

In Aug 2003 I had my brakes done, I was planning on just changing the pads and turning the rotors but I was told that they were below min specs and had to be replaced. So I replaced them now in April 2004 I had my car in for it's regular oil change and had them do a brake inspection because my car was shaking when I applied the brakes. I was told again that all 4 rotors were below min spec and had to be replaced and they had deep groves in them. I'm not a crazy driver I have not had any speeding ticket or accidents. Ever. I was not told what could be causing these groves or why I will have to replace my rotors for the 2nd time with a car that has only 42k miles on it. I would like to know what is causing these deep groves and how to correct this problem. I have not had them fixed yet as I can't afford it.

Braking does not seem to work properly, car fishtails while braking, especially on damp or wet surfaces, to the point that I have almost hit other vehicles even with plenty of advanced stopping distance. The car is almost out of control to drive on a wet road, and it certainly isn't completely effective on dry road surfaces. Problem has occured since vehicle was brand-new, and brakes/rotors are in excellent condition.

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

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.

Rotors for the front brakes have worn to the point below specifications at only 20,000 miles. Pads are normal. Consumer had to pay dealer for inspection and replacement of rotors. A midus brake shop commented that Chrysler makes rotors thin to begin with ,and its not uncommon for premature failure of rotors.

When the brakes were applied brake pedal pulsated. Vehicle was serviced, and the technician determined that brake rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle had its third repair in the last seven months.
