I BOUGHT MY USED DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 10 IN 2011. A FEW MONTHS AFTER I DID IT, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I WAS BRAKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND INFORM THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT, AND BRAKES WERE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. (09/17/2012). TWO MONTHS LATER, THE REAR RIGHT BRAKE HAVE A CRACK. AND THE SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK IS HORRIBLE. I TOOK MY CAR AGAIN TODAY (11/17/12) AND THEY SAID, THIS CAR NEEDS TOTAL REPLACE OF ROTORS AND BRAKES. I WAS SURPRISED! I EXPLAINED THEM WHAT THEY TOLD ME LAST TIME, BUT THE GUY SAID " WELL, EVEN TODAY OR TWO MONTHS AGO, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE EVERYTHING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE DO HERE." WHEN I TRIED TO TALK WITH THE MANAGER, HIS ASSISTANT TOLD ME THAT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO TALK TO ME, BECAUSE HE WAS AT LUNCH LITERALLY, HE SAID " THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE...." THEY COULD TELL ME BEFORE, AT LEAST WARNING ME ABOUT THIS, BUT I GUESS THEY DIDN'T EVEN CHECK MY CAR THE FIRST TIME. I DON'T DRIVE THIS CAR MORE THAT 20 MILES EVERYDAY, FOR THE BRAKES TO DAMAGED SO SEVERELY. I HAVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY. I AM SCARED NOW DRIVING THAT CAR. IT IS CRAZY SHAKING! THE BRAKES ARE TOTALLY DAMAGED AND THIS COULD BE FIXED PREVIOUSLY.... THIS HAS TO BE SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATED. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEBODY DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAD FOUND THOUSANDS OF CASES LIKE THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WITH FRIENDS. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!! *TR

I BOUGHT MY GRAND CARAVAN BRAND NEW. IT IS A 2010, I BOUGHT IN 2011. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH IT. OVER THE WEEKEND, THE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON (PERFECTLY DRY ROADS), THE CAR STALLED, I LOST POWER STEERING, AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE UNTIL I STOPPED, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTED IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES NOW. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THIS MORNING. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS. IF THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED IT TO BE A POWERTRAIN ISSUE, IT WOULD BE COVERED. IF NOT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS. AFTER THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS, THEY THINK IT IS THE PCM. HOWEVER, THEY WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PROVE IT IS NOTHING ELSE OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO STILL CHARGED ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SAY FOR 100% IT IS THE PCM. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT HAPPENED REGULARLY AND I WOULD PROBABLY WRECK THE CAR IN THE PROCESS. I TOLD THEM TO EXPECT A LAWSUIT IF THAT HAPPENS. *TR
