2012 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model Year	2012
File date	14/11/13
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The rear brakes on the dodge minivans were designed poorly. The calipers do not release properly, and the clearance on the brake pads is too tight and causes the pads to get stuck. Last night we had the brake hang on one of the rear brakes after using the parking brake. The pads stayed close to the caliper and caused the entire rotor to heat up from the excessive friction. Pads, rotors and calipers were replaced last week, full brake fluid replacement done at dodge dealership this week. Everything checked out, now caliper is jammed. Numerous complaints from others are on the internet for the 2008 - 2012 (and some 2013+) model grand caravans due to poorly designed rear brake system.
