Air conditioner failed prematurely, at this time the car has 45,000 the failure must have happened before 40,000. Cooling a/c is not working, blowing warm air. Looking online found many 08 Grand Caravan owners with same complaints. Car after warranty will cost $135 to inspect and refill. I asked the dealer to pressure check the hoses for leaks, they said they will do a color dye check on the a/c system hoses. Brakes were done at 12,000 miles failed again at 35,000, this time I am not going to have the dealer fix it, I am ordering reybestos hybrid rotors and advanced performance brake pads. Warning - Dodge oem brakes and rotors are pos, do not let Dodge install them. I am also considering replacing the calipers with reworked caliper from another source. Horrible noise from rear brakes, when driving and the brake is not engaged. Slight right turns also cause squeaks/grind noise that sound like its coming from rear. When brake is engaged the noise stops.
