BRAKE PARTS DISC BRAKE ROTOR Complaints

I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT MY BRAKES ON MY SOLAR 2000, THE DEALER SHIP HERE IN RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA THEY WILL LAUGH AT ME, THEY DON'T DO ANY THING . I TELL PEOPLE IF ANY THING HAPPENS TO ME IN MY VEHICLE IT WILL BE BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES. I HAVE MY BRAKES DONE EVERY YEAR, AND I JUST HAD THEM DONE AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH NOISE AND SOMETIMES NO BRAKES AT ALL. I GET MY BRAKES CHECKED THREE TIMES A YEAR. *TR

REPLACED BRAKES WITH ONLY 26,000 MILES ,THEN AGAIN AT 37,000 MILES, NOW IM AT 41,000 MILES AND MY BRAKES ARE MAKING NOISES AGAIN. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW,IT STOPPED GOING UP AND DOWN IN THE FIRST YEAR I HAD THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE THE REAR WINDOW REPLACED DUE TO THE ANTENNA IN THE WINDOW BEING BROKEN, WHEN I TURNED THE REAR DEFROSTER ON THE RADIO HAD ALOT OF STATIC. SINCE THE WINDOW HAS BEEN REPLACED IT NO LONGER DEFROST , I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME IT WORKS FINE. THEY TESTED IT INSIDE A WARM BUILDING. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WHICH THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM, WHEN DRIVING AND EITHER THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER IS ON AND LIGHTS AT SAME TIME , WHEN YOU BRAKE THE LIGHTS DIM AND THE CONDITIONER/HEATER GOES LOW, ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL DIM AS WELL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IM VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY THAT HAS A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS TOO SMALL FOR THE SIZE OF THE VAN. I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF FRONT BRAKES AND MY SECOND SET OF REAR BRAKES. THIS WAS ALL DONE BEFORE 36,000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO USED TO BE A CHRYSLER SERVICE MANAGER AND HE STATED THAT CHRYSLER INSTALLED A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS TOO SMALL FOR THE VAN WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO WEAR OUT FASTER. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS BECOMING QUITE EXPENSIVE. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTS LIKE THIS? I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO ANSWER WHY THEY DID THIS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE REAR CAPTAIN'S SEATS IN THE VAN HAVE TOO STEEP OF A DECLINE ANGLING TOWARDS THE POINT WHERE THE BACK AND THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT MEET TO PROPERLY INSTALL CHILD RESTRAINT SEATS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LEVEL OUT THE CAR SEATS FOR MY KIDS. NO OTHER VAN HAS SEATS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THIS. *TR

WE HAD THE BRAKES SERVICED . IT INCLUDED THE CHANGING OVER THE BRAKE PADS AND THE ROTORS TURNED. AND IN LESS THAN 8MONTHS LATER WE WENT BAKE TO GET THE BRAKES INSPECTED DUE TO A VERY HIGH PITCHED NOISED THAT GREW SINCE THE BRAKES WE REPLACED WITH NEW ONES. THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THE BACK BRAKES VERSES THE FRONT BRAKES WE NOT WEARING EQUALLY AND THAT HE WAS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT BOTH FRONT AND BACK BRAKES WERE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY WERE REPLACED AS I SAT AND WATCHED THE PREVIOUS MECHANIC INSTALL OUR NEW BRAKE PADS/SHOES JUST AFTER 7 MONTHS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE. THE FRONT BRAKES HAD A WEARING OF 30% AND THE REAR WORE DOWN TO 70%. THIS IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE AND IT'S ALSO BECOMING VERY EXPENSIVE.. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO NEED NEW BRAKES ON AVERAGE OF HALF A YEAR BETWEEN CHANGES. THIS IF NOT LOOKED INTO COULD BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS DANGEROUS IF THE BACK BRAKES A WEARING OUT FASTER THAN THE FRONT. THEN I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BRAKES OUT EVERY 6-7-MONTHS JUST TO KNOW THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WHEN NEEDED! THE HORRIBLE SCREECHING SOUND I DISCOVERED IS THE ROTORS AND THE MECHANIC VERY SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THEY ARE WARPED AND IN SUCH BAD SHAPE AFTER SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN THE BRAKE CHANGES WITHIN A 6-7 MONTH TIME PERIOD. WE HAVE ONLY ONE WORKING VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT IS ISSUE IS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I CAN NOT KEEP CHANGING THE BRAKE SYSTEM EVERY 6-7MONTHS YET I HAVE NO CHOICE IF WE ARE TO BE SAFE AND WOULD LIKE TO STOP THE CAR. PLEASE FIND OUT IF THE PROBLEM CAN BE CORRECTED ONCE AND FOR ALL TO WHERE WE ONLY HAVE TO CHANGE THE BRAKES ON THE CAR LONGER THAN A YEAR OR MORE ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DRIVE THE CAR EASY... WE ARE NOT BAD DRIVERS YET WE ARE TERRIFIED THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT AS I AM SURE WE WILL NEED A BRAKE CHANGE AGAIN IN JUST A FEW MONTHS AGAIN! BATTERY IN THE KEYPAD OPENS,LOCKS & STARTS CAR NEVER WORKS RIGHT... *TR
