Brake Squeaking Noise Problems of Dodge Grand Caravan

Since we bought the vehicle, within 6 months of purchase brakes started making squeaking noise, brakes got cleaned at a local shop; and started making noise again in about 6 months, took to the Dodge dealership at about apx. 8,000, don't remember exact date; they did a complete brake job new pads rotors and alignment, at 6 months breaks started squeaking again. Had brakes cleaned at a mechanic shop, noise stopped. Then again at 23,340 miles, in at the shop again, they tell me brake pads are normal wear and tear and are not covered; but now the front axles are making noises when the wheel turns and regular driving without breaking, like a click, click, click sound as the front wheels turn. When applying brakes the vehicle seems to shake a bit and makes squeaking noises when braking. I bought the vehicle brand new and do not tow anything with it, just normal driving to and from work; but the brakes issue seems to be a constant issue every 6 months to a year. It will be requiring another brake change and probable axle repair; am waiting for resolution under file no. 25141204 with Dodge, am waiting to hear back. But it seems to be a brakes defect in the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan van. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle because of the brakes issue. They told me at the dealership that it's because they are mopad pads, and that they only last about 12,000 miles and wear out are not covered under warranty. I bought the extended warranty on the vehicle at the time of purchase, but the brakes problem is a recurring thing; they seem to start making noise at about 6 months after each fix and brake pads being worn out within a year. Don't know what else to do.

I just purchased a used 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan from enterprise car sales in March of 2010. The vehicle had 58,000 miles on it. When I initially took the van for a test drive I heard a squeaky noise from the brakes. The car sales man told me that there was nothing wrong. It is just because they are new brakes. So I purchased the vehicle with no warranty and enterprise reassured me that all of there vehicles go through a 109 point vehicle inspection. In April 2010 I called enterprise and told them that the squeaky noise is getting louder and now when I back up I hear a cranking noise. I was told to take the car to wheel works they said everything was fine. On June 2, 2010 the same problems so I took the van back to enterprise and they told me to take the van to firestone and they replaced all of the brakes and the rotors. I was told that they were in bad shape. It is now June 15th and the same squeaky noise is happening and when you go over any speed bumps it sound like the bottom of the van is going to fall out.
