| Description of the problem | I bought 2017 dodge grand caravan. Now, the car has 34,940 miles. When i pus the brake when the car speed above 40 miles/hour, the car vibrates. I think the rotor is warped. It is dangerous on the highway because this problem. Talked to dodge dealership and called dodge customer care. They both told me it is not covered by the 36month/36,000mile warranty. Searched on the internet, a lot of owner complained the brake problem about dodge grand caravan. Experienced mechanics indicated this is a design issue. Dodge doesn't have a good enough brake for this car. This problem exists for many years and dodge still unwilling to redesign or cover this design flaw. Dodge should provide special warranty to cover this design flaw and it is a great safety issue nhtsa take the leadership to ask dodge fix this common problem related to their design. |
