| Description of the problem | We purchase our 2008 dodge grand caravan new on 12/22/2008. We have had to get our front pads replaced and front rotors resurfaced at 20,306 miles and chrysler sent out a front brake limited warranty extension so we received a refund back minus the 50. 00 deductible for this repair. However now we've had problems with our rear calipers & rear brakes which we would like to have our repair refunded or a recall done on this matter. Here is the info: first complaint:--the rear calipers seized which caused the second complaint-- the pads wore out quickly. The rear calipers seized and the rear brakes failed and both had to be replaced. The rear rotors and drums had to be resurfaced at our expense($446. 38 parts & labor, not including tax). |
