The replacement brake pads were defective. Every time the brakes were applied the metal portion of the pad grind into the caliper. It had already cut 1/4 inch into caliper, which was almost severed.

Abs brakes come on more frequently than they should. When approaching a light they squeal and vehicle lunges forward. There is a phase ii recall that the dealer is waiting for more information. *ak

My brakes failed many times. I returned to reedman's service center 4 times & the problem was never corrected. When the brakes fail, they make a weird "grinding noice" & the van seems to pull sideways. This has happened many times & is very scarry! I am affraid that myself or family are going to get hurt or killed because of this problem! Thank you.

Loud squealing noise coming from serpentine belt and or alternator. Worse on cold or wet days. Dealer has replaced alternator serpentine /belt, and pulley arm. Some parts have been replaced more than once. Have taken to dealer 4 time in 2 years.
