Description of the problem	Bad or inferior brake systems for 2008 caravan. At 13,788 miles it began squealing (kind of like a squeaking hamster wheel) in front (left) but sometimes the right front. Took car several times, they finally verified it there was a noise at 21,000 miles and could not find it but recommended pads and rotors although the fronts were just getting to the point where they needed replacement. Replaced pads and rotors, kept squealing took car about 6 times to midas and a few more times to chrysler. Now the right front or right rear? Passenger side is grinding at 30k miles. We're afraid it is the drum. This began and has been off and on for about 2 weeks (today's date is 3/17/10. I have never had problems like this before with brakes. The minivans i bought in 1993 lasted 63k until i needed new pads and one i purchased later and at 43k when i turned in one in 2000 there were still no issues.
