| Description of the problem | We have a 2011 dodge grand caravan. We are getting to the point that this van is not worth the stress. We did not get this van brand new however it didn't have many miles, if i remember right 62,000 on it. Less then a year ago we had to fix all four brakes and rotors (at 65,000 miles) . Last week when it went for inspection (at 73600 miles) it wouldn't pass because of the rotors, so once again we had to get them fixed. We are on day 7 and are already seeing the same problem and knowing we will have to have them fixed again! I can tell by how the van is squealing that we are going to have to replace the brakes and rotors again soon. We have already spent over $1500 in the same repairs in less then a year. I have looked up dodge vans and i see a lot of people are having the same problem. Seriously i have a family and if these brakes and rotors fail i will not be happy. I don't understand how there is no recall after finding so many complaints on the internet about this van. |
