Front disc brakes will heat up and separate in half and half of the brakes will fall out due to the separation causing complete failure of brakes.

3 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2000

I complained about a vibration during braking, was told the rotors and pads were warped, I had them resurfaced at 350. 00 and less than a month later I am having the same problem. . . All this at 19,000 miles (all highway miles) Chrysler says it's not a warranty item. . . . . .

4 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2000

Brakes pulsate during medium application. Dealer found rotors warped and required milling and shoe replacement. Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me and a posible safety problem but dealer says its a wear item. The shoes still had 75%+ of the pad left. I see several complaints like this one here.

5 Brake Disc problem

When brakes are applied vehicle vibrates. Dealer has inspected vehicle. Vehicle surges/oscillates when braking from approx. 45 mph to 0 mph.
