Anonymous, (2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8-L V6)"The rotors on this vehicle are too small so they overheat and start to warp at about 15 to 20k miles causing pulsing. To my knowledge there is no recall on this so I just replace the rotors and pads every time I feel the pulsing start."
Anonymous, CA (2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3.8-L V6)"Brake system wears down to rotors without squeak warning."
Anonymous, CO (2005 Dodge Grand Caravan None 3.3-L V6)"Warped rotor. I replaced them myself"
Anonymous, (2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8-L V6)"Rotors froze causing premature brake pad wear."
Anonymous, GA (2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8-L V6)"Changed rotors"
Anonymous, OH (2005 Dodge Grand Caravan)"Loud squeaking every time I touch the brakes. Seems to be a glazing issue. Plenty of brake pad. Can't burn it off, after repeated trying. Two mechanics think replacing the brake pads won't be enough to solve -- have to turn the rotors, as well. So...I live with the annoyance and embarrassment"
