Park the van, go out and van will not start-no radio or lights left on. Dealership has checked the battery several times and said it was not the battery yet it still does it and this is going on to two years now.

The brakes have been sqeaking and when I let off of them they feel like they are grabbing. There is also lots of brakes dust on my front rims. This has been since I bought the car 3/15/04. The service department at the dealers said the brake noise is normal. They checked the brakes on 3/17 and said they were fine. I took the vehicle back 8/17 because of the front end pulling and asked that they check my brakes again. The rotors were warped so they "turned the front rotors". I asked what could cause this and they said driving with 2 feet or it could also happen if the rotors are hot and it starts to rain and cold water hits them. They blame the driver. It only had 7539 miles on it. I took it back 8/23 because I do not hear or feel a change in the brakes. Theytest drove it and said it was normal noises that I was hearing and nothing is wrong.
