Brake Grinding Noise problems of the 2009 Chrysler Town & Country

Driving 65 mph after 230 mile trip and started to exit off ramp while slowing down to about 30 mph starting to brake and grinding noise began to be heard and vehicle was unable to stop properly. It seemed that the abs was releasing on dry payment and vehicle vibrated/pulsated. (new brake pads were put on 2 weeks ago and new tires on 8 months ago. ) continued to next stop and go and noise and brake failure occurred once again. Fortunately, speed was only no issue since it was city driving. Continued a few more blocks and turned right and brake failure once again due to a pedestrian bolting out at intersection. There was no incident due to pedestrian stopping before contact. Happen one more time and has not happened in the last two days. The pulsating/noise/vibration on each occurrence was on either side of the front but not the both sides at once. Definitely a safety issue and hopefully is taken care by Chrysler before someone is seriously hurt or killed. Took vehicle in to have diagnostics and there was a code of failure. Code represented a wiring or cluster failure.

Rear rotors and pads give grinding noise most pronounced in cold weather. Just like the recalled front rotors and pads. The root problem most likely is inferior quality of the rotor metal. Should advise Chrysler to replace rotors with a superior quality rotor, not just a quick fix "cutting the rotors", because the cutting will not cure inferior metal constitution to begin with.

The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler towns and country. The contact was driving 60 mph when a grinding noise was heard coming from the brakes when applied and the vehicle failed to stop properly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the front and rear brakes, along with rotors needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage was 38,000.
