| Description of the problem | I bought this minivan in 2011. I do not drive much so it currently has less than 35,000 miles on it. Nonetheless, i have had to replace the brakes and rotors 4 times (maybe 5) since i have owned it. I just had them replaced again in november, and yet 7 months later, i have to do it again. I have only put some 3,000 miles on it since the last replacement. Something is seriously wrong. The brakes began squeaking and very quickly (like a day or two without my hardly driving it) to the rotors being gone as my pedals are vibrating. I know others are complaining about this here and all over the internet. Something has to be done about this. It is a serious safety issue. Not to mention, incredibly costly to keep up with these costs that i cannot afford. |
