Chrysler Imperial Problems by year

Chrysler should be ashamed of themselves for failing to issue better and permanent recalls for this car. This vehicle is dangerous! I was driving my chrysler and tried to stop for some kids crossing the street but the brakes suddenly gave out and became virtually inoperable and I had to swerve to avoid killing these kids! I had to push the brakes as hard as I could just to get the vehicle to slow down, let alone completely stop. I later learned and was able to find some recalls that this model uses...
