3 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2011

Earlier this year, late spring, had bad vibration when applying the brakes, found out it was due to warped brake rotor(s). I took the van to a mechanic and he stated that he had the same issue with his Chrysler town and country van and explained that Chrysler would do nothing about it. Just last week I went to get the van inspected and it would not pass inspection because of the brake vibration. I did receive some letters from Chrysler in the mail about the front brake pads and rotors, and also the front wheel bearings, so I called the dealership. The dealership told me that there was nothing for the rear rotors / brakes, and this is where the problem was that would not allow the van to pass inspection. I paid $265. 00 to have the back rotor(s) cut and then have the front brakes / rotors replaced (for the known issue with the front) and after cutting the rear rotors there was still a slight vibration in the brakes! to pay over $600. 00 every 1 1/2 years for front and rear rotors / brakes is unreal. I bought a brand new van because I didn't want to have to worry about major repair $ for a long time. The reason for the warped rotors is the braking system is either undersized, or there is a serious design flaw. When I search the internet I find all sorts of hits on Chrysler vehicles for brake / rotor issues, past and present. I wish I would have seen this before I bought the van.

4 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2011

My 2010 Dodge Caravan only has 20k miles and the brake rotors are out of round they vibrate when braking the dealer sta6ted that turning the rotors would fix it but the brake pads are like new . I have owned lots of vehicles over the years and have gone 50 to 70k mile before brake service. I feel that this is a manufactoring problem and it should be looked into.
