My '06 caravan has had bad brake vibration problems since around 3K miles. The dealer replaced the rear brakes (pads and rotors) at 6K, again at
9K (which helped, but didn't entirely fix the problem). Now at 12K miles they are claiming it was the fronts all along, rotors are badly warped and pads are down to 4/32". After much bitching, the dealer and Chrysler agreed to split the cost of replacing the fronts, but won't warantee the brakes and any further work is on my bill.The dealer has no idea what's warping the rotors so quickly, have tried to blame our driving style. Since our last van had over 100K w/o any warping and we're driving the same I find that hard to swallow.
Has anyone else had problems with warping? In looking around it seems that these vans have bad brakes, many need replacing at 12-15K and warped rotors. Anyone have success with aftermarket pads and rotors? What's available for the caravan.
I'm hoping to avoid complete brake jobs with every oil change.
thanks,
