I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR CHRYSLER FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS, AND IN THE 4 YEARS I HAS SEEN QUITE A FEW THINGS THAT WAS UPSETTING. THE ONE THING THAT THE SERVICE MANAGERS ALWAYS SAID, WAS WE COULDN`T SELL WARRANTY. BUT WHEN YOU GET AMINI VAN IN WITH THE REAR BRAKE WHEEL CLYINDERS LEAKING ON BOTH SIDES AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TELLS YOU NOT TO DO IT , SOMTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE TOO. ITS A COMON PROBLEM WITH THE MINI VANS. AND IF IT CONTINUES SOME BODY IS GOING TO GET HURT. YOU GUYS NEED TO LOOK INTO IT.
