| Description of the problem | My husband and i were driving one day, out of thy blue, the van began to shake towards the front of the van. We couldn't get the speed over 25 mph. We got it to the nearest mechanic shop. They said it was the calipers. They said that it was very close to catching on fire. I had to have both calipers replaced and a brake job. I also had to purchase a new tire. I called and reported it to dodge/chrysler. They said that there had not been any problems with other vans. It was an extremely scary incident to go through. They said that they might be able to do something if the van had actually caught on fire. That's just crazy. This has cost me about $800. 00. I just want to make sure that this gets reported in case other vans have similar problems. The mechanics were shocked at what they saw. They said that it should not have done what it did. |
