Description of the problem	After owning the van about 1 1/2 years i noticed the brakes were hanging up causing overheating. I took the van in and they said it was dirt stickingto the calipers so the lubricated it up, but shortly after it did it again. At 56,000 kms i took it in because brakes dragging again and this time they said my brakes were wore out. I only drive highway and i am an instructor who teaches fuel efficiency which reduces wear on brakes. They put new brakes and rotors on the van and 100 miles later the front left wheel is overheating. There is still rattles in the brakes. I took the van in before summer started because on the passenger side air vent it would not go to cold, only hot. I took it to the dealer and they said chrysler is aware of the problem and do not have an answer to the problem. I know another 2011 dodge caravan owner and he is having the same brake problem.
