| Description of the problem | Here we go again. Front brake problems at 18,000 miles on a 2008 grand caravan. Then the recall, now the rear brakes at 35k. After discussion with the service manager he stated the rear brakes could wear out at 8k miles(r u kidding me) some service manager. Back brakes should last at least 40-50k when not towing. The rear brake calibers and pads have the same defects as the front. I changed the rear pads and 1 glide was missing and that pad was worn alot more than the other 3. Thanks dodge, great vehicle. Also who was the genius that came up with the 225 65 16 tire size, nice job. |
