general problems of the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan

I heard the sound of metal scraping on metal when I applied the brakes. I took it to boubin auto repair and they said they replaced the rear calipers, rotors and pads. They failed to connect the parking brake cable on the right side. The parking brake cable broke later and I took it to hubbell's auto repair and they replaced the parking brake cables. Years later, I once again heard the scraping sound of metal on metal when applying the brakes. This was about 2. 5 years after it first happened. The vehicle has about 67,000 miles on it now. I bought it new in 2015. I took it to hubbell's auto repair again and they said the right rear brakes had a piston blown out of the caliper and no pad left on one side. They replaced the rear calipers with non-mopar (aftermarket) calipers, replaced the rotors and pads. That cost $863. 23. Uneven and inefficient braking resulting from failed rear brakes could result in an accident.

The van was pulled in to a driveway with a slight tilt, put in park, with the key removed from the ignition, in park. The primary driver almost always uses the parking brake, and believes it was on at this time. The sliding door behind the drivers side door was opened, something taken out, and closed. At that point in time, the van started rolling backward, to the point where it actually impacted the house on the other side of the street. Problem has not been reproducible. Taken to the dealership, they performed basic testing, could not reproduce the problem, but will not state that the car is safe at this point in time.

Approaching a t interesection on a reidential street at about 15 mph, I turned right and the vehicle steering was hard and I held on to the steering wheel to direct the vehicle to the street on the right. I stepped on the brakes it did not respond. I stepped on the parking brake foot pedal and the brake dashboard lite turned on but vehicle kept going. . I panicked and somehow I managed to slow down and shift the vehicle to p the to d then to p and turned off the ignition. I checked the engine, brake fluid and power steering fluid. . Everything was ok.
