| Description of the problem | The vehicle began to shake with only 17-18000 miles on it. We replaced brakes and rotors because dodge told us that the rotors were warped and brake pads low. Now and 21000 i need to replace them again. The brakes are not sufficient for the weight of the vehicle and therefore chrysler should be held responsible for designing an inadequate brake system. Consumers are not engineers and we buy vehicles trusting the manufacturers have designed a car correctly and with basic necessity (such as a braking system) to have to replace a vans brake every 3-5000 miles is ridiculous. Chrysler should recall this brake system and install new brakes on every mini-van they produced. |
