1 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2004

I have a 1999 Grand Caravan, I have not received any recall notices at all. I have had numerous problems with this vehicle. Why haven't I been notified of any of these concerns. I have problems with windshield wipers just quitting. Dome lights fading in an out. Now that my warrenty is up, they say I'll need a new transmission. The back gate won't unlock with a key, the windows leak, the sliding doors don't seal, they rattle going down the road. My rpm dial shoots up and down, not only that, my paint has started peeling over the back left wheel. They say it's not their problem. Just started bubbling and rusting. I've had to have a gas line underneath fixed due to knocking it wasn't fixed properly. I have a lemon is what I have and now that I have no warrenty they just keep putting their hands out. I have put three sets of brakes in less than 4 years and now they say I need rotors. I live 3 miles from work. What's up with that. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!now my blower is going out of my heater, I've had to replace two hub caps, $150 each for the fragile plastic.

Continuous brake problems/failures due to pitting & corroding of the front disc rotors. Rear brake drums not adjusting properly (have never adjusted). Rotors replaced by dealer and now require replacement again. Entire rear wheel braking system replaced, still not working correctly. Vehicle has never stopped correctly in four years of ownership. Is very dangerous and could cause an accident.
