| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2008 dodge caravan with 34,000 miles on it. There was a recall on the brakes and rotors at 38,000, carmax never told me that. I ended up replacing my rotors twice since nov 2010 and my brakes 4 different times. I sent dodge chrysler a letter with my invoices for refund with no response. And now again dodge is telling me that i need to replace the rotors and brakes. I don't have the money, and i should not have to continue to pay for this. I drive a special needs daughter and two sons in this van and feel it is unsafe but its the only car we have and no one will help us. Thank you |
