Premature brake component wear on chrysler mini-van. Brakes have been noisey since 2000 miles, multiple trips to dealer for repairs finally noise progressed to harsh grinding @ 20,000 miles. Dealer replaced pads and claims this is abnormal but nothing he can do about it. I have never had a vehicle require brakes so soon, never had a vehicle which made so much brake noise after only 2000 miles. My complaint is that the braking system is not designed to handle the vehicle weight under normal operating conditions. This could result in a serious accident if not resolved.

Vehicle in service 11/02. At 12,000 miles one rotor replaced under warranty due to brake pulsation. At 15,000 miles brakes squealed when applied at slow speeds (good pads). Light brake pulsation started at 24,000 miles. Rotors turned at 33,350 miles due to heavy brake pulsation in steering wheel. At 35,787 was told both front rotors needed to be replaced as they were warped. Have owned two previous disk brake chrysler products and had poor performance in reference to pulsating brakes that I have not had from gm or ford products. Friends that have chrylser vehicles have same brake pulsation problem. Contacted chrysler customer service and asked to speak to a supervisor and was denied. Chrysler complaint # 11578986. Would not assist at all in resolving issue with brakes.

Dealer was unable to duplicate or correct the problem. *ak the service dealer manager verified and experienced these conditions and was unable to correct the problem. Two days after the purchase, the van shuttered at low speed, low rpms in reverse, slipped out of gear when attempting to ascend in grade, the check engine light had come on. Other problems that occurred, were as followed: the brake calipers were squealing which may have been due to sticking, the vehicle leaned to the left, and the right sliding door didn't open from the inside switch. *scc
