Grand Caravan SE 3.3L
- Automatic transmission
- 21,127 miles
Having worked for a Chrysler company (STERLING TRUCKS) I am fully aware of the imported/foreign parts being used under the Daimler Chrysler umbrella. Chrysler closed our plant here in Canada and moved the plant to Mexico ...that should speak volumes.
Anyhow, being a father of four very active children and not having a job is trying enough, yet alone receiving a call today from my mechanic today stating that I needed to have my front and rear brakes replaced and being slapped with a $1100.00 CDN bill. From a simple oil change!?
My van was purchased in April of 2008. There is now 34,000km of easy driving on this van and it has been very well maintained. The reason why I purchased this van was because of the employee savings I could receive from Chrysler and for providing safety for my family due to our old van aging. At the time of purchase I did not know that the STERLING TRUCK plant was closing and moving to Mexico.
So here I am being slapped once by losing my job,and now again with a $1100.00 bill .....all compliments of Chrysler.
If Dr. Deiter does not hurry up and recall/resolve this brake issue promptly, I swear I will post a blog about the 2008 Dodge Caravan SE on every site you could imagine.
TRUST ME>>>WORD OF MOUTH IS THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL!!!
I wouldn't be surprised that the Chrysler corporation knew the economy was going to take a turn for the worse and thought, hey lets reduce the cost of Chrysler vehicles, put substandard parts in our vehicles that are not covered under warranty, and make up the difference on price through service charges!
Good luck getting quality out of Mexico..you get what you pay for!!!..I just found out!
I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO LET THE BLOGS BEGIN!!!

It has been almost two weeks that I can't drive my vehicle. Chrysler keeps saying that the parts are on back order. They refused to give me a courtesy car while I am waiting for the parts. This is very inconsiderate of Chrysler. The dealer informed me that there are many other clients with the same problem. Why hasn't Chrysler done a recall on this?

Never cared for Chrysler products. Like Fords. Always need a mini van. Now that Ford doesn't have on thought of trying Chrysler. BAD mistake!! Can't believe i have to change brakes so soon. My old Fords lasted a lot longer. Something is wrong brings back memories of my 95 Dodge Avenger using brakes every 25000 Km. Can't wait for the 2011 Ford explorer.
