Front disc brakes began making noise, mechanic checked and found the rotor surface was delaminating and informed me that this happens on all Chrysler Cirrus's they have worked on this year. This may answer some of the other complaints listed in this section. Also, the 15" wheels mounted on the lxi model Cirrus's, take 14" brakes. The suspension on the lxi is only designed for the 14" wheels, due to this effort on Chrysler's part to save money, the lxi owners are driving vehicles with incorrect suspension and wheels. This is on all Chrysler Cirrus vehicles, that is why there are steering, suspension and brake problems.

When driving vehicle stopping time is reduced and brakes shake upon appying normal pressure. Sometimes they make noise. Contacted dealer and told it was due to brake dust accumulated.

I reported this incident to NHTSA earlier. ODI id = 862355, never received a follow up questionaire. The damage estimate was to the Cirrus only. No idea of damage to the other vehicles. Brakes were checked by crown collision after repairs were made and no problem found. Stopping distance still seems longer than I have and still experience in my old non ABS braking system car. Strongly feel accident would not have occurred if brakes were not ABS.
