Three problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Warping occurs on disks car shakes when brakes applied. Dt.
Dirt, sand, and mud gets onto the rotor disc and the brake pads and causes the brakes to slip and also wear prematurely. The repair shop says that the manufacturer eliminated the shield on the inside so that debris can get onto the disc and pad much easier. They also said that the rotor discs are wearing prematurely from this as well as the fact that the discs have defective steel (air bubbles entrapped during manufacturing of the discs become exposed at pits through wear resulting in additional buildup of dirt and wear).
Right rear hydraulic wheel cylinder failed, causing loss of breaking power. This caused premature wear of front disc pads which resulted in overheating and warpage of front rotors. Rear wheel cylinders were replaced as were front disc pads and rotors turned. Dealer stated wear on brake pads and rotors were not under warranty after 12000 miles.
