While traveling at highway speeds, an emergency stop is necessary but when brakes are applied, a loud rumbling noise is heard from the front of the vehicles, the brake pedal goes down almost to the floorboard and vehicles fails to stop. This only occurs at highway speeds, and in emergency stopping situations. It has happened approximately 18 times since august, 2010. Dealer's technician says is "normal" in 2010 chrysler vehicles.

I have a 2008 chrysler minivan stow & go, on mar 12, 2010 I took it to dave dennis chrys.dodge,jeep, on col glen hwy in dayton, when got the bill & ready to go, they told me I was due for a tire rotation, so I made an appt. For mar 19,2010 at 1p.m. After waiting over an hour the service lady came out & told me I needed new rotors & brake pads, I told her I could hardly believe that as the van has only 21,000 miles on it, will be 3 yrs. Old this coming oct. She said they were seeing bad brakes at 16,000mi, I ask why the rotors, why not just the brake pads, but couldn't imagine either one was bad. She said they couldn't replace just the pads as there wasn't space on the rotors to do that. I was really upset, what about people who never have their tires rotated & are dangerously driving with bad brakes. I feel these brakes should be on a co. Recall if their all like they say. I'm taking my van to a privately owned garage to have them checked out at 10 a.m. On mar.23,2010, it's pretty bad when you pay over $30,000 for a vehicle & in 16,000 miles or more the brakes need replaced. I"m concerned about this before the accidents & deaths start to happen. These brakes systems are either a faulty design or below grade material put in them, I'd like you to investigate it. I think the problem started with the 2008 model vehicles & the troubles are just beginning to start.
Failure of front and rear brake pads at 18,000 miles.
