Description of the problem | Grinding noise when braking. Kept getting worse. Taken to dealer at 16,000 miles. Told front brakes were worn out. Replaced front brakes. Charged over $300 - not under warranty. Told back brakes would probably go also. This is on a 2008 dodge caravan. Many others have written to complain with same problem. Local dealer said they had 4 front and back replacements recently. All only had 16-18,000 miles. This is in a small town. With that many complaints, chrysler will rapidly lose customers. |
