This is the fourth set of brakes I have put on the van in 3 years, I just put the last set on last year. It seems Dodge has many others unhappy after research. I checked and the rotor was scarred and the pad rubbed to the metal. The brakes have less than 15,000 miles on them and there is no excuse for this. This would be a serious situation if my wife could stop with my kids in the car. The brakes had started squeaking last Sunday and I replaced again last night. This is a safety issue as they are going out way too quickly.
