| Rear brakes improperly adjusted by manufacturer, resulting in front brakes overloading and warping the front brake rotors. dealer adjusted the rear brakes and replaced the front brake rotors. since the repairs were covered under warrantly, i assume that chrysler (now daimler/chrysler) is aware of the problem. i have a 1997 chrysler concorde which had the identical problem at approximately 12,000 miles. very disconcerting to have such a safety-related problem with a car costing upwards of $25,000. | |||
