| Description of the problem | 2009 dodge grand caravan began shaking as i would brake from speeds anywhere from 40-100 miles per hour (i live in germany). At 15,000 miles we took the car to the dealership and they determined that the front rotors are warped. The odd thing is that the rotors went out before the brakes did. The dealer said due to a design flaw in the grand caravan, the front retains a lot of heat and will warp the rotors on a regular basis. We were told to expect this repair every 15,000 miles or so. |
