Dodge Grand Caravan Change Vehicle

"since 2010, I had problems with brakes, rotor, premature brakes wear and tear, changed the calipers 4 times so far"

"One caliper locked up causing brakes to overheat"

"Caliper stuck against rotar and damaged rotar and pads"

"caliper locked"

"failed and had difficulty bleeding air from the system"

"Brakes were replace after 60000 miles as well as both front rotors"

"The wear-and-tear seems to be more frequent (and expensive) than previous cars, although they were sedans. I've had brakes repaired several times."

"Problem resolved before it was a problem."

"Just normal routine brake wear. End of story."

"We have only had normal wear and tear brake problems."

"With the high mileage it was normal routine to replace rotors and pads all around, lubed calipers which I do routinely after changing over tires from summer to winter tires and vice versa."

"My parking brake was basically unusable when I purchased the car. When I had it fixed . After replacing all cables and parts, it cost me over $900.00."

"Rear Disc brake calipers seized up and caused premature wear of brake pads, This was the third time this problem happened,"

"Brakes last only 12000 miles. Very expensive to fix. Bad engineering!"

"Brakes just don't last as long as they should."

"Front brakes wear very fast compared to all other cars I've owned. Usually replace the pads once a year due to excessive wear."

"Rear calipers seized resulting in limited stopping power."

"Hard to keep brakes in it. They seem to freeze"

"Recent inspection indicates 50 percent pad wear in 8000 miles, indicating wear at twice normal rate. Suspect poor quality pads installed by dealer at 45000 mile service."

"Having to repair brakes every 18 months or so."

"I live in Canada, and the last few years haven't driven the car much. Corrosion, particularly with the rear rotors has been a big problem. Brake job after brake job. The last one that really pissed me off is I replaced rear calipers, rotors and pads, as well as front pads 2 years ago. Within a year I had pulsating (rotor trouble) and after 2 years (and 3000km) I had to replace all the rotors and pads. I bought expensive aftermarket stuff too; top of the line."

"Severe rotor warping causing extreme vibration when brakes were applied."

"Disc resurfacing"

"brakes, including calipers and rotors constantly wear out, and front end vibrates"

"Brakes seem to wear out much too quickly. Rear brakes were replaced at around 25K miles, front followed at about 32K miles (and should have been replaced sooner) - now rear brakes are have problems again at 55K miles. I would have expected brakes to last to 40K miles"

"I have had to replace brake calipers 3 times since I purchased the car. The brake pads get hung up and don't retract causing wear of the rotor and premature pad wear out. Repaired under warente once and they will not do anything now"

"brake components sticking together, started March '20, resolved March '20"

"Squeak on hard stops"

"Warped rotors had to be replaced. Not covered by warranty."

"THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND (WARPED) AT ABOUT 3000 MILES."

"I am on my 3rd set of brake pads. They just fall apart. The first two were mopar devices from China . I'm now using a spin off mfg - it can't be any worse and it's cheaper. I must admit the two dealers involved were receptive to my safety concerns and time restraints (one was out of town) so it's not the dealer it's the parts"

"had to replace pads and warped rotors front and back for the third time in less than 25000 miles"

"Wear out too early."

"Brakes chatter when at speed and braking lightly."

"Vibration while braking at moderate speeds."

"Rotor vibration has been typical of several Dodge Caravans I have owned."

"This was first repair other than warranty on brakes almost 70,000 miles pads and rotors needed to be replaced maybe if I had replaced pads earlier rotors may still be ok"

"turned out the brake pads cracked in half although they were new and put a huge groove in my rotors"

"Notice brakes squeaking after 52000 miles"

"ear splitting squealing from brakes off and on"

"The fan when you start up the vehicle makes a clicking noise for about 8 seconds then goes quiet."

"Fan doesn't always work. When it does, it into starts when set to more than 3/4 speed. Will cost more than $400 to fix"

"Rear AC lines and rear evaporator all had to be replaced. Damn engineers never put in place a shield to protect the rear evaporator from road crud. Very expensive repair! Also both front wheel bearings went out. These cars are junk."

"Rear evaporator failed, appears to be a regular problem with dodge products."

"rear evaporator and both lines had to be replaced. The car has had three sets of brakes so far"

"I had just replaced the Radiator. couple days later it over heated. Turn out to be a massive problem with the back seat heating system. Had to replace all the parts and hoses . Very expensive."

"leak in plastic y fitting which diverts coolant to rear heat/ac. Wire related to coil pack failed due to a break of the wire resulting in van not starting."

"see earlier comments"

"AC fails every 18 months. Shop unable to find leak."

"testing and fixing leaks expensive. I owned a grand voyageur before and the ac compressor front and rear failed after 2 years"

"won't stop leaking, changed most of the hoses. It becomes a habit to refill each spring for the summer"

"I have been having a problem with the A/C loosing its refrigerant for 4 years. I have had it to the dealer and they say they cannot find the problem. I have to recharge usually twice a year to have the A/C work. Terrible!"

"Air conditioner has been recharged maybe 4 times. Nobody can find a leak. Never. But refrigerant keeps disappearing. I am told, that in testing, the pressure on both sides of the system is slow to return to same pressure when shut off."

"Condenser to the rear ac failed"

"Corrosion destroyed the pipe from the front to the back unit"

"When the steering wheel was turned there was a grinding noise. There were two issues: one strut was worn out and on the other side the wheel bearing needed replacing."

"After some 300000 kilometers both front struts and rear shocks needed replacement, leaking"

"In the past 6 months i have had to change the brakes, rotors, calipers, struts, shocks, tie rods, etc. Every component that relates to the braking/movement of this vehicle had to be replaced. This vehicle is regularly maintained be a mechanic and every effort is made to keep it running at a like-new condition. This has cost me over $19000 over the past 7 and 1/2 years. Not impressed at all."

"I find in mine Dodge Gr Caravan the front suspension parts wear out fast and also the front and rear brakes"

"changed on four wheel at the start of 2017, premature wear of two in the fall of same year."

"A front wheel bearing failed and had to be replaced. We have not owned the vehicle since new and this bearing had already been replaced"
