| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 dodge caravan. It has 16,234 miles on it. I took it in to be serviced for its first major service appointment. The mechanic at the dealership came out to talk to me and said that the pads, shoes and rotors were near failure. He also stated that the car was unsafe to drive in that condition. This was a dodge dealership and i assume that they know their product. I was concerned about the failure so i looked into it and found that this was a fairly common problem for owners of this car. |
