Description of the problem	We own a 2008 dodge grand caravan with 45k miles on the van. The van has been through 4 complete brake repairs within the 45 k and most recently we needed to replace the master cylinder. We were over 1000 miles from home on july 20th in miami when both brakes and master cylinder went out. By luck i noticed the problem and brought it in for service, this had the potential to be life threatening for my young kids, my wife and i. We are looking to you for help before we or someone gets hurt. We are averaging the need for brakes every 12k miles. We have paid for all of the repairs and dodge finally issued a repayment for a percentage of the cost. These brakes are underperforming and i believe it is an engineering issue. Please research this issue. There is a lot of complaints about this issue and someone needs to make sure the public is protected. I appreciate your help in this matter.
