I have three Chrysler T&C vans 1997, 2001, 2002 with mileages of
225,000 63,000 and 85,000 miles on them respectively. We've owned the
97 and 02 since new and the 01 for three months and about 12,000 miles. All three are making a grinding feel with some noise when you come to a stop under normal braking conditions and none under hard braking. It feels exactly like metal to metal, but when I do an inspection all three have at least 50% of the pad remaining and smooth wear on the disc's. I suspected harmonic wear but I see no evidence of it, nor do I see any other reason for this condition. Each of the three vans have had the brakes serviced by different shops, so it's unlikely that they have pads from the same supplier. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thanks!
