Alberto,

Make sure you send these comments to DC also. They need to hear from
consumers like you and me. It may fall on deaf ears but we can't sit here
and keep crying without at least trying. We, collectively, have a large
group of DC customers.

So.....How much were those Bendix rotors and pads???
Boog??? Anyone?? The first time, my pad itself was
defective.....of the four pads in the front three of
them had half their life still but one of them had
either the pad worn clean off or just come loose and
fall off or something. Needless to say that rotor was
sh@t after that. I had a new one put on and now i am
getting the vibration....didnt have that the first
time. Is heavy braking warping them?? the washing
immediately after being driven?? For a sticker price
of $21,950, Although brakes are "wear items" I
believe certain aspects of them should not be so
faulty. Like the quality. "THE NEW DODGE" or maybe
more of the same old quality-lacking vehicles with new
candy shells. To think I wanted to get a PT Cruiser
too. I'd rather keep my money and get an Avalanche.
I never had problems with either of my 87 blazers.
huff huff....phew...ok i feel better steam let off!!!
