Description of the problem	In july2010, i had the front brakes replace after only 30000 m iles. Also a front caliper was replaced due to it not releasing after applying the brakes. In aug, 2010 on a return trip from florida, the rear brake calipers froze , would not release, causing the rear brakes to overheat, causing rear brake failure. Repair of the rear brakes cost aprox.$ 580. 00. A complaint to chrysler corp. Was initiated, and they reimbursed a total of$280. 00. I was told by 2 dealers that there has been an abnormal amount of problems with the brake calipers on the chrysler/dodge vans. Since we were transporting oxygen that my wife needs for medical purposes a fire or other failure of the rear brakes, ie fire, seizing of the brakes causing a wreck, or being disabled on the highway, miles from a repair facility could have had serious results. At the present time the only remaining caliper has failed, froze to the rotor, and is in need of repair which has been scheduled at a non dealer shop. The cost has been estimated at $100. 00. Chrysler corp has not given any acknowledgment as to the cause or why this is occurring, only the $280. 00 reimbursement. The question is: will this happen if i purchase another chrysler van and has the brake caliper been acknowledged and fixed? 4280. 00 reimbursement.
