Description of the problem | Year and half ago we received a recall letter from dodge concerning our 2008 dodge caravan, reference to the front brake pads. Its seems the brake pads were defective due to early wear out. The recall pads were replace by scott evans dodge according to service manager with a pad that more metal in the composition of the pad. Now a year and few months later , i took my car in for front end realignment and scott evans is saying the brake pads that replaced the recall pads are now showing early wear out and should be replaced!!!!!! How is this possible, my car only has 31687 miles on it and now brakes pads are being replaced twice. My concern is the pads they put on to replace the recall pads were also defective due to early wear out also. Being this deal with vehicle brake please investigate and found if dodge is replacing recall pads and possible defective pads due to early wear out also. My wife and are in our late 50's and do not travel alot nor are our driving habits our of the norm. The miles on the car reflect this. Please investigate [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
