Narrative

2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS A BRAKE DESIGN FLAW WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO FAIL PREMATURELY. THE FIRST SET WORE OUT BEFORE 25K MILES AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN SHE COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AGAIN WITH LESS THAN 30K ADDITIONAL MILES. THIS IS TOO OFTEN FOR BRAKES. *TR
