AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 19 MONTHS, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE MAIN COMPUTER REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW FRONT BRAKE ROTORS 2 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS WE HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. NOW, THE SECOND TIME WE'RE REPLACING THE ROTORS AFTER ONLY 7 MONTHS. THE BRAKE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE SEVER "SHIMMYING" WHILE BRAKING, THIS LEADS TO LESS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DELAYED STOPPING. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES A HAZARD TO BOTH THE PASSENGERS OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND TO THOSE DRIVING AROUND IT. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND THE DEFECT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT.

AT 7200 MILES THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WENT ON FLASHING. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIME OVER LAST WINTER. EACH TIME THE SPARK PLUGS ARE FOULED AND REPLACED, THE COMPUTER REPORTS MISFIRING IN THE ENGINE. THEN IN JULY MY CAR WENT ON FIRE AFTER DRIVING 6 MILES TO THE STORE. I PARKED MY CAR WENT INTO THE STORE ONLY TO BE CALLED OUT 5 MIN LATER THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CAR BECAUSE THE HOOD RELEASE WAS BURNT. CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS A RODENT THAT CHEWED THE FUEL INJECTOR HARNESS. NOW I'M OUT MY INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE AND ADDITIONAL RENTAL CAR CHARGES. THEN 2/1/02 AFTER DRIVING TO WORK 7 MILE MY CAR AGAIN WENT ON FIRE AFTER PARKING. THIS TIME MY BOYFRIEND HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND AND SAW SMOKE WHEN HE STOPPED AND PULLED THE HOOD RELEASE, SAW FLAMES AND THROW SNOW ON IT TO PUT IT OUT.
