Fought this grinding brake noise from the left front for almost a year. I changed rotors and pads - twice! Worked fine for a week, then would grind like it was chewing up the rotor. Brakes worked fine normally, but grinding noise usually only occurred when coming to a SLOW stop. Got lots of looks from pedestrians!! Never was any damage to rotor or pads. Finally had my mechanic change out the left caliper. Problem solved - finally!!

Had this problem from 3rd year onward. In last two year I think I have change brake pads and rotors every year or say every 10,000km. Asking mechanics, they says this is common problem with Dodge Caravan 2009.

My 2009 Caravan brakes are making noise at 8700 miles. Haven't gone to dealer yet. I'm disappointed to read about peoples experiences with 2008 & 2009 Minivans. I need to replace my other car and was thinking of going to Honda or Toyota. Never had a Japanese car ever. But I noticed MANY similar brake complaints for them too. Makes me wonder a bit. Maybe the 70's and 80's cars weren't so bad after all.
