Caravan SXT 3.3L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,000 miles

I bought this Caravan new in Dec. 05 and since then have had to replace the brakes
3 times. The first was at 11,000 miles. They changed the pads and turned the rotors
that time. The second time was at 22,000 miles. That time I had to fight with Dodge
to get them to pay for the parts and I paid for the labor (79.00). They replaced the rotors that time. The third time was at 32,000 miles. This time Dodge wouldn't do anything about it and also said that the dealership told them there was nothing wrong with the van. Yeah, right! I went to the parts store and bought the cheapest pads they had with a lifetime warranty. I will still have to service the rotors and change the pads, but I won't but another set of brake pads though.

Caravan V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,500 miles

This van has been driven lightly, it only has 14,000 miles on it and we've owned it almost 2 years. I was very disappointed when I took it in to have the oil changed and tires rotated, and a 23 point inspection, and they found the brakes had only 10% left on them. I'm totally disgusted to be spending money on brakes for a van with this amount of miles.

EXTREMELY UNIMPRESSED WITH BOTH THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE TO SPEND $500 ON REPAIRS ON A CAR WHICH IS ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD WITH LOW MILEAGE.
