REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS FAILED ON VAN. CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY ON FRONT BRAKE AND ROTORS BUT NOT BACK BRAKES AND ROTORS FOR UP TO $100 DEDUCTIBLE ON 36000 MILES. WHY NOT BACK BRAKES AND ROTORS? THEY ARE MADE OF SAME MATERIALS. *KB

THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V139000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION) MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN THE REAR BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE REAR BRAKE, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND THE CYLINDERS.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUG 2010. TODAY'S DATE IS NOV 15, 2011. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 40,000 MILES. I USE THE CAR FOR COMMUTING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FRONT BRAKES AND FRONT ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC DATED OCT 24, 2011 STATING "THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR MY FRONT BRAKE PADS AND FRONT ROTORS HAS BEEN EXTENDED BECAUSE SOME OF THE MINIVANS MAY NEED THE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED EARLIER THAN EXPECTED." IT HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY WITH ME BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT MILEAGE AT 40,000. MY ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS ONLY 1YR 4 MONTHS OLD AND ALREADY NEEDS NEW PADS AND FRONT ROTORS. I UNDERSTAND FROM VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS THAT THE FRONT ROTORS ARE NOT BUILT TO HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. I CAN SUPPLY THE TWO DEALERSHIPS THAT GAVE ME THIS INFORMATION. I BELIEVE THAT BY WRITING THE LETTER THEY ARE ADMITTING A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE 2009-2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. BREAKS ARE NOT A PART OF THE VAN THAT CAN WAIT TO BE REPAIRED. EVENTUALLY, SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY STOOD BY THE LETTER. I AM HAVING THE VAN REPAIRED BY AN AUTO MECHANIC AND WILL SAVE THE DAMAGE PARTS FOR PROOF AND RESOURCES TO MY CLAIM. *TR

MY WIFE BEGAN HEARING A NOISE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE REAR BRAKES MAKING THE SOUND. SHE HEARD IT ALMOST EVERY TIME SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE. FINALLY I HEARD A GROANING SOUND MYSELF. THE REAR WHEELS WERE VERY HOT COMPARED TO THE FRONT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM. HE TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE VEHICLES COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19000 MILES ON IT SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE. HE TOLD ME THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12000 MILES. HE TOLD ME IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $365.00 TO CHANGE ALL THE PARTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER/ DODGE AND THEY ARE ONLY GIVING ME $150.00. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES OR WHY WOULD THEY BE GIVING ME ANY CREDIT AT ALL IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY? THEY TOLD ME THE CALIPERS LOCKED UP AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I WORK WITH 2 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE ROTORS, PADS, AND CALIPERS FOR HIM 3 TIMES AT NO CHARGE!! IT HAPPENS ON HIS VEHICLE ABOUT EVERY 10000 MILES. THE OTHER OWNER HAS THE SAME DEALER I HAVE AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME LINE I WAS. HE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE IF MY WIFE IS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND THE REAR BRAKES LOCK UP!! YOU BETTER BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A MEGA-LAWSUIT!! HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE? THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT UP ON THE NATIONAL NEWS AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE

FUEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE GAS TANK IS EMPTY OR IF IT IS FULL. ONE WEEK IT TAKES 11 GALLONS TO FILL THE TANK AND THE NEXT WEEK 14. SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR LAST WEEK. WE HAVE HAD GAS FUMES IN THE VAN SINCE THEN. ALSO WHEN WE TRIED TO FILL THE TANK IT HAD A VAPOR LOCK AND NO GAS WOULD GO IN THE TANK. WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE MAY BE A WIRE LOOSE ON SENSOR AND NO WAY TO TELL. I WAS GIVEN THE VAN BACK AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A VAN WITH GAS FUMES AND A POSSIBLE LOOSE WIRE. I TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER [XXX] ON THE PHONE. AFTER 1 HOUR ON HOLD I WAS DISCONNECTED AND WHEN I CALLED BACK [XXX] WOULD NOT HELP ME EXCEPT TO SAY SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME TUESDAY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2010 DOGE GRAND CARAVAN SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. BUT ON 2/7/11 I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE DUE TO THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE DRIVING 60 MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND DID MY BEST TO PULL OFF TO SAFETY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND A SERVICE MAN ASKED ME TO CHECK TO SEE IF I HAD RAN OUT OF GAS. I STILL HAD ABOUT 10 GALLONS IN MY TANK. THE VAN DID TURN BACK ON SO HE HAD ME DRIVE ABOUT A MILE OR SO TO HIS GARAGE. HE PUT THE CAR ON A COMPUTER TO CHECK THE CODES. HE CLAIMS THERE WAS NO CODES INDICATING THIS ENGINE FAILURE. NO SURPRISE BECAUSE THIS DEALERSHIP, THE SAME ONE I BOUGHT THE VAN TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG EACH TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS SHOWING ENGINE FAILURE ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS INVOLVED CHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THE VAN'S ENGINE DIED AT 60 MPH. I REPORTED THIS TO CHYSLER AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER [XXX]. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH I CALLED TODAY. THEY TOLD ME THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT IN AND SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK SO I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT I WILL GET HELP WITH THIS URGENT MATTER.

2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE SHUT DOWN WITH LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHEN TURNING LEFT IN TO A PARKING LOT. WAS ABLE TO STOP, PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTART WITH NO ISSUES. AS WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS, VERY SCARY IF THIS HAPPENS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. SCARY ENOUGH TO MENTION IT TO MY WIFE SO THAT IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME IN AN ACCIDENT AND WITNESSES SAY I JUST SEEMED TO STOP RIGHT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, SHE WILL KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT IS. *TR

DRIVER ARM REST DOES NOT SUPPORT WEIGHT AND WILL FALL DOWN CAUSING DRIVER TO BRIEFLY LOSE CONTROL OF CAR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. SO I HAVE A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE THAT HAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS LIKE ONLY GETTING 19 MILES TO A GALLON WHEN ADVERTISED AS 25 AND NOW THE ARM REST BASICALLY COLLAPSES ANY TIME WEIGHT IS PUT ON IT ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT. ALL THE OTHER ARM RESTS ARE SUPPORTIVE EXCEPT THE ONE YOU NEED MOST. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE VOICED THE SAME COMPLAINT AND HE COULD TAKE ME TO THE NEW VANS ON THE LOT AND SHOW ME THE SAME PROBLEM WITH CARS NEVER DRIVEN SO I KNOW THIS IS A DEFECTIVE ARM REST JUST BY WHAT HE HAS TOLD ME. *LN
