| Description of the problem | I have replaced brake pads and rotors 3 times in the last three years and i now have to bring in my van to have brake pads and rotors replaced yet again. Chrysler says they don't have an issue, however they have numerous complaints on the web plus they did one recall where all they did was replace the pads. They would not replace pads on my van since i had already done so. The pads had been replaced once before i purchased the van also. I have about 80,000 miles on my van and this will be the fifth or sixth set of brake pads on this van. |
