Description of the problem	2008 dodge grand caravan rear brakes. Upon visually inspecting brake system on the rear driver side uneven wear was detected mostly on the inside pad. Semi-metallic compound located towards the back side of the pad was almost worn down to the metal while the front side of the pad still had enough compound on it that the wear indicator is not making contact with the rotor. Brake failure is imminent and the wear indicator will is not providing any sound warning that the compound is worn down to the metal. Dealership was not able to explain the reason for uneven brake pad wear on the rear brakes. They were not able to explain why the wear indicator was not making contact with the pad even though the technician stated the pads are 95% worn. Chrysler offer to fix the problem is to replace pads and rotors with similar materials. Front brake pads are also worn down 95% and dealership acknowledged a tsb# 05-006-08 did apply to my make and model of vehicle however they refused to apply the service based on the mileage on the vehicle (27,288 mi). While the issuance of the tsb indicates a concern for the front brakes on the van, having my driving habits extend the brake life up to the 27,288 mile point disqualified me from having such tsb applied to the van. My concern is there is no prior warning of brake failure since the wear indicators do not make contact with the rotor when there is potential for having metal to metal contact between the rotors and pads.
