| Description of the problem | We had a very loud scraping noise coming from our rear drive side tire. At first it was when you applied the brakes but it quickly be came constant. We called the dealer and the quickest we could get in was 4/30/13. The dealer let us know that the rear caliper saddle ceased and this caused severe damage to the rotor and the pads. The caliper is under warranty but the damage is causes is not. I did a search and it looks like this is an issue with these vans but no recall from dodge. They did however add an extension to the front brakes because they were all so causing issues in these vehicles. Looks like they need to do the same for the back. I am located in canada. |
