| Description of the problem | 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. |
