Noticed noise from lt side of vehicle, checked brakes out right side was fine left side brake was down to the metal. Van is only 1997 model and they told me the caliper needed replaced . I dont think this item should need replaced in only one year . Is it possibly a problem or is this normal. My warranty ran out in November of 1998 and the problem occured in December of 1998. Thank you very much. ( dot number: ).

Calipers stuck and resultant heat warped the rotors, resulting in the shuddering sensation in subsequent stopping.
Descending mountain out of yosemite. Front brakes overheated and caught fire. Flames visible through wheel spokes on both left front and right front wheels. Put out fire with water. Valve cover on tire stem melted but no other user visible damage. Dealer inspected brakes and adjusted rear brakes to handle more load, said everything else looks ok. I believe anytime normal use of the vehicle causes flames it is a safety hazard.
Driving habits are conservative-do not ride the brakes. Rotors should not be defective so soon. Dealer could not produce defective rotors to prove evidence of wear.
