| Description of the problem | Replaced front rotors and break pads at 23k, vibrating somewhat. Dealer at that point said back brake pads wearing down, will soon need to replace and shave back rotors. At 26k, shaking on drivers wheel,vibrating badly when breaking was dangerous. Needed back brake pads and new rotors, rotors were warped. My 4th new caravan in 2 decades was a real disappointment! Although, the extended warranty for the front brakes were only $50 and now the back brakes $120 deductible is not alot, i shouldn't be paying to replace until 4-5 years or 40k-50k miles like our last 8 cars! I guess it's better then transmission trouble at 50k on my 1st caravan. *kb |
