Description of the problem	I purchased a brand new 2008 dodge grand caravan in oct. 2008. At 22,226 miles the dealership replaced front brake pads and machined front rotors. At 29,595 they machined the front brake rotors again. There was still shimming in the brakes so at 29,847 i took the car back to dealership. They replaced front brake rotors, machines rear brake rotors and replaced rear brake pads. At 31,854 my brakes were constantly squeaking. Dealership inspection brakes and said "normal characteristic of this model/brake. Under certain conditions due to material type and glazing brake life is approximately 90% life remaining front and rear." then at 35,665 i brought back to dealership for another inspection. I reported "excessive brake noise." their response was "brakes ok. Approximately 65% life remaining. Noise detected was characteristic. No abnormal conditions detected at this time." so basically in just 3,800 miles i went through 30% of the brakes life. This is after having front and rear pads and rotors replaced. I have received a letter stating chrysler is extending warranty of front brakes to 36,000 miles. My problem is that what happens after 36,000 miles and what about the rear brakes? How do i know i am driving with safe brakes? The dealers response was to bring the vehicle in for inspections. I called and spoke to the "chrysler recall team" and was told there are upgraded parts for the brakes on my vehicle but the dealership says that because i'm past the 36,000 miles they will not correct the problem with the upgraded parts.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
