Description of the problem	I wanted to register a complaint about the brakes on our 2008 dodge grand caravan. They are not designed properly for the vehicle they are on, as they are having to be replaced every 3,000 - 4,000 miles. Chrysler knows it is an issue, but they will not offer an effective solution. They blame it on our driving style, but that is not correct. We currently own a ford taurus which is driven more than the van, and the brakes last 40,000 miles plus. We have owned 10-15 cars in our driving life, and they all have the brakes replaced around 40,000 miles. The caravan also has to have the rear brakes changed quite often, which typically only happens 1 time in the 100,000 mile life of our other cars. I did a google search for "brake life expectancy", and the third link pulled up was the following forum where many other drivers have complained about the same issue. Http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/direct/view/. F1bbe4a just wanted to pass along my concerns. Thanks!!
