Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2010 Dodge Caravan

I have owned my Dodge Caravan since April 2016 and have needed 3 extensive brake jobs totaling over $3,000 which included new pads, rotors and calipers. I have read on other sights I am not the only one that has this problem with the same vehicle. I am about to take my vehicle in for the forth time and am very frustrated with this problem. I drive my four children around in this vehicle and need it to be safe. That is why I originally bought this vehicle. No brakes are not safe.

While driving one day, out of the blue my can would not go over 25 to 30 mph. It would shake violently if we went faster. We got it to the mechanic and the brakes had almost caught on fire. It ruined one tire and the brakes and calipers. The mechanic said that this should have never happened. It was extremely dangerous. I reported it to Dodge. They said it had never happened. I want to make sure that it does get reported. I feel like I should be compensated for this. They said that there was nothing they could do since it never actually caught on fire. Really?.

My husband and I were driving one day, out of thy blue, the van began to shake towards the front of the van. We couldn't get the speed over 25 mph. We got it to the nearest mechanic shop. They said it was the calipers. They said that it was very close to catching on fire. I had to have both calipers replaced and a brake job. I also had to purchase a new tire. I called and reported it to Dodge/Chrysler. They said that there had not been any problems with other vans. It was an extremely scary incident to go through. They said that they might be able to do something if the van had actually caught on fire. That's just crazy. This has cost me about $800. 00. I just want to make sure that this gets reported in case other vans have similar problems. The mechanics were shocked at what they saw. They said that it should not have done what it did.

Passenger rear wheel became extremely hot with loud humming noise after traveling at 67 mph for a few minutes. Came to find out that the brake caliper had been sticking. The pads and rotors must be replaced. The dealer knows the sticking caliper is the problem but refuses to take responsibility and repair it. I am afraid I will have to continue to fix my brakes avery 25,000 miles or even less.

I purchased a 2010 Dodge Caravan in April of 2010 with 19 miles on it. In August with only aprox 7300 miles I had the rear rotors replaced, because they were too bad to turn. I also complained about the sliding doors rubbing fenders. In October with 11000 miles I placed the van back in shop for doors rubbing fender and rear rotors. At this they turned the rotors and buffed out fenders. In December brake calipers were sticking so they put a adapter on the calipers that was supposed to keep the brakes from sticking. In may with 19000 miles I had the van in shop for front brakes and rotors (recall). While in shop they checked the rear and found rear rotors were bad again, at my cost of 300. 00. Had the car inspected with only 2,000 miles on the new rear rotors and found they have hotspots on them already. The mechanic suggested I have the rear rotors replaced again before the 12,000 miles are up. He said there are already hotspots on the rear. I will be putting my 2010 Dodge Caravan in shop again with 23,500 miles for rear rotors and rattle noise in rear. I am sick of this, I honestly think Chrysler is a joke. 7300,11000,19000, and now 23500. What is it going to take to get this problem fixed? I am not sure these people care about the safety of their customers. They replaced my rotors on the rear again. I filed a claim and Chrysler offered $2500. What a slap in the face. I wish there was more we could do. Please let me know>>.
