What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Recall 96v075000/brakes:hydraulic:master cylinder: brake failed while driving at 35-40 MPH, forcing vehicle into an field to avoid a collision. But, five passengers sustained minor injuries; dealer notifed. Feel free to provide further details.
While driving, the consumer saw smoke coming from the tail end or somewhere in the rear of the automobile. Then, suddenly she saw fire and jumped out of the automobile and landed on the ground and had to be taken to the hospital. This all happened so fast that consumer did not know what happened. Her father a certified mechanic told her that the fire actually started in the front of the vehicle. *scc
While driving down the interstate, it suddenly sounded like there was an increase in road noise, then suddenly there was a puff of smoke from the back and the noise disappeared. Stopping to check, my master cylinder was half-empty. Per chrysler dealer who repaired it, ""right rear brake came apart (cylinder blown and springs broken)." when it failed, it also damaged right rear tone wheel and sensor, making the anti-lock brakes inoperative. There was no warning before this catastrophic brake failure.
While driving at 70 MPH transmission went into neutral inadvertently. Owner had the vehicle at the dealer for several months. Owner picked up the vehicle and drove it for a few miles. However, the problem recurred. Two transmission have been installed but the vehicle continues to perform poorly.
