| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt used from a fleet service with approx 28k miles on it. I went to check the tires and brakes myself, and have discovered the brakes and rotors need replacing. The problem is, no metal is touching the rotors, yet they are wore on the outside edge down to the minimum thickness of 26. 4 mm. The parts dealer won't turn them, so new ones have to be installed. This seems to be a premature wearing issue. |
