This is the 4th set of front brakes and rotors and the third time replacing the rear pads and rotors, and the van only has 92000 miles on it. To compare, I own a 2009 Mini Cooper, and the front brake pads are nearly TWICE the size of the pads on this gigantic van. This van was made during rough times for Chrysler, so it's obvious they cut corners to save costs. The failures seem to be heat related and in two out of four cases I've experienced warped rotors. Trying out some high performance slotted rotors to see if they help with heat dispersal. I'm done with Chrysler products- they seem to all have the same M.O.- put overpowered engines in cars mated with substandard support systems (brakes, suspension, etc).
