| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the front rotors were warped and damaged the brake pads. The brakes and rotors need to be replaced. The failure has occurred twice within seven months.

The brake pads and rotors were replaced at that time; however, the failure has recurred. The vehicle is currently being repaired. The contact believes that the failures were due to manufacturer defects and a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 11,667 and current mileage was 16,700.
