Description of the problem	We purchased vehicle with @ 15k miles in may 2010 - in january 2011 at @ 30k miles we had to replace the brakes and rotors the whole way around. I spoke with 3 mechanics who 1) said rotors at this low mileage was unheard of and 2) this was a known problem with dodge grand caravans. Then, just 3 weeks ago, at 55513 miles, my left front axle / cv joint snapped. From (plenty of) online research, i learned 2 things - 1) this break should not occur in a vehicle so new and 2) all 2008 chrysler / dodge vehicles are known for this! In fact there was a recall in 08 for a lot of vehicles (not the caravan) for just this! When i called chrysler/dodge - they first said that this wasn't a part of the powertrain warranty (um, it's an axle!!! Attached to the drive shaft) and second - if i was the original owner, it'd be covered, but since i'm not, it wasn't. This was a $500 repair job. 2 weeks later!!!!!!! At @ 56000 miles, i started having front end problems again - back to the garage - this time, i'm surprised with the fact that i need brakes and rotors the whole way around again. And, abs sensors, a new caliper and brake hoses. New brakes - again?!?!? Here comes the online research again... I found a website (carcomplaints. Com) that had 1027!!! Entries from 08 grand caravan users that have had to repair or replace their brakes and rotors at an average of every 10000 miles - that is not normal!
