EQUIPMENT

I HAD MY TOWN AND COUNTRY FOR JUST OVER 20,000 MILES AND I NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES PADS ON MY VACATION. LUCKY I AM A MECHANIC AND COULD DO IT MYSELF. I CALLED THE DEALER DOWN IN FLORIDA AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT MODEL THEY SAID NO. I ASKED FOR PRICE ON PADS AND IF THEY HAD THEM. I CALLED THE PARTS STORE AND THEY HAD THE FRONT BUT NOT HE BACKS THAT WOULD BE A DAY. THE DEALER TOLD ME 4 TO 5 DAYS FOR THE BACK AND FRONTS. I ASKED THE PRICE AND THEY WHERE LESS THEN 1/2 THE PRICE. I ORDERED AND DID THE BRAKE JOB. I HAD TO CALL A DEALER TO FIND OUT HOW TO COMPRESS THE CALIBERS THEY DID NOT KNOW. I REMEMBER THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAD CALIBERS LIKE THIS AND IS TURNED IN. I DID THE BRAKES AND NEEDED TO DO THEM 3 MONTHS LATER AND ROTORS THIS TIME. I FEEL THERE IS A FACTORY PROBLEM HERE.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 T & C 4 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS 14,000 AND IT NOW HAS ONLY 17,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING NOISES THAT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND ALSO FOR THE DVD PLAYER, AND THE OUTLET THAT WASN'T WORKING THE BACK. THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD HAVE TO FORK OUT $400. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO AND FIX. THEY ALREADY GOT ME FOR THE COST OF THE VAN AND NOW IT SEEMS EVERY 5-10,000 THEY WILL BE GETTING ME FOR $400 BECAUSE I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS.
