2012 Chrysler 2 Series service brakes problems

“For weeks now ive been noticing a weird grinding or dry rubbing sound underneath the front end of my chrysler. Checked it out a few times, as though i am not a mechanic i can identify the basics of something not right. However, after my husband and his brother both looking it over on seperate occasions, they have noted a leak under the carriage of the car. Often here recently, the guage senses an over heating of some sort. Since this notice, we have replaced the oil cooler twice in a year; as well as flushed the hoses associated with the coolant reservoir. Fixed temporary but has now already started getting too hot. Which simply tells me that its something further internal thats wrong. I was informed of an engine recall: L33 of my chrysler model. However havent seen one on this website. When driving yesterday, i noticed a light on my cluster that indicated the traction has failed. When i brake, all u hear or feel is a vibration under your feet, up front. I replaced my brake pads all 4, within the past 4 months and theyre now rusted over and u notice a brake fluid leak on the front right side. After a light, the grinding noise, the vibration and the overheating;…”

“WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. NO WARNING OF IT ABOUT TO HAPPEN JUST DOES. I LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES AND TURNS ON ONLY AFTER TIME GOES BY OR BY REMOVING NEGATIVE TERMINAL FROM BATTERY. IT'S HAPPENED AT 35MPH AND AT 60 MPH. I'VE GONE A WEEK WITH NO INCIDENT TO HAVING IT HAPPEN DOZENS OF TIMES ON A SINGLE TRIP. VERY SCARY SITUATION. ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN RATE OF SPEED, THE TRACTION, BRAKE, AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE HYDRAULIC BRAKE MODULE AND BRAKE PUMP. THE MECHANIC CALLED SEVERAL UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALERS AND EACH DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THE PART WAS DISCONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.”

“TO START OFF THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WILL NOT STOP TURNING OFF AND ON EVEN AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING . ALMOST ALL THE TIME WHEN IT RAINS THEY WILL KICK IN THE E BRAKE AND START GRINDING . NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CHANGE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AND MASTER CONTROL THEY NEVER STOP SQUEAKING . LASTLY ALMOST ALL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTED AFTER THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT . MY SPEEDOMETER JUST DIED ON ME TODAY AND I HAVE NO CLUE HOW THAT HAPPENED .”

“TAKATA RECALL, ABS AND TRACTION LIGHT ARE ON THEY MAKE A FUNNY NOISE WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR AND START DRIVING. BUT AFTER I GO SO FAR OR TO 25MPH, MY LIGHTS COME ON AND I BRAKE JUST FINE. I ALSO HAVE A ISSUE WITH MY TURN SIGNALS, IF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF MY FRONT LEFT TURNING SOGNAL WORKS BUT IF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON MY FRONT LEFT TURNING SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK.”

“REPLACED DISC BREAKS PADS 3 TIMES LAST YEAR AND 2 TIMES THIS YEAR, THE RUBBER BOOT INSIDE THE BREAK CALIBER MELTED AND THE REAR BREAKS SOMETIMES SMOKES, NOW FRONT BREAK PEDAL GOES TOWARDS THE FLOW AND WITH CLUCKING NOISE, ANDTBE ABS BREAK LIGHT IS ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING..”
