Description of the problem	Brought new in 09, front rotors cut due to severe vibrations.. Was told i was not driving enough (never heard that before)1,700 miles., bad vibration again in front .. Rotors cut front and rear. Took car to dealer for oil change and was told front brakes and rear brakes as well as rotors needed replacing 12852 miles, told by dealer this is normal wear and tear!!!. I started doing my own brakes as i could not afford the dealer anymore and they refuse to address the issue. I have been changing the brakes every other oil change, this is crazy. I have owned numerous cars over the years and have never had to do this. I finally took the car to the dealer as the rear drivers side caliper was burning up and was told to my surprise they said the front calipers were seized, they said the front controls the rear. They changed them and i put new rotors and brakes all around. Rear drivers side burning up hot and brakes almost to metal, took to dealer again and was told rear calipers needed replacing. They changed both rear calipers and i had the rear brakes replace again. Rear drivers side caliper started sticking again burning hot and brakes worn almost to metal again, they replaced and i went online and found many people with the same problem 08-12 caravan and none of them got any satisfaction from the dealer or dodge. I told the tech about the complaints and all he could say is "if its broken we will fix, and thats all he can do" with no further explanation. I really dont know what to do anymore van has 62,000 miles and i really don't want my wife driving this van anymore with the kids, i feel it's so unsafe and has been a money pit.
