THIS IS THE SECOND GRAND CARAVAN WE HAVE PURCHASED NEW, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE VAN STARTS TO BRAKE FUNNY, LIKE THE FRONT END IS DOING TO MUCH OF THE BRAKING. THEN WITHIN A DAY OR TWO THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER LOCKS UP AND GRINDS THE BRAKES TO DUST. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEIR FRONT BRAKES USUALLY LAST BETWEEN 29 AND 35 THOUSAND MILES. I SAID THAN WHY DID MINE ONLY LAST LESS 20 THOUSAND, AND WHY WOULDN'T IT BE COVERED ( AT LEAST PARTIALLY)IF IT IS AS YOU CALL IT "PREMATURE BRAKE FAILURE." I CANNOT BELIEVE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM AS CHRYSLER CLAIMS.
