BRAKE FAILURE ON 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH ONLY 25000 MILES ON MY TOWN AND COUNTRY THE BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE NOISE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WERE BARELY WORKING. I'VE NEVER OWN A VEHICLE WERE I HAD BRAKE ISSUE BEFORE 38,000 MILES. AFTER LOOKING ON LINE IT IS OBVIOUS THIS VEHICLE HAS A BRAKE ISSUE THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DROP THE HAMMER ON CHRYSLER FOR. *TR

I DID NOT DRIVE MY 2008 TOWN & COUNTRY VAN FOR 2 MONTHS AS A RESULT OF MY FOOT SURGERY, 2/17/10 TO 4/19/10. ON THE MORNING OF 4/19/10, AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE MY VEHICLE OUT OF MY GARAGE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I FURTHER DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO "BREAK FREE" AND MOVE. IT SEEMED AS IF THE WHEELS WERE FROZEN. AS I DROVE TO WORK, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKING WAS UNEVEN AND THE BRAKES WERE "CHATTERING." THE VAN ALSO TOOK LONGER TO STOP. WHEN I GOT TO WORK, I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEA…

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN JUST BEFORE NOV 25, 2008. A MONTH AGO AT 17,000 WE HAD TO PUT ON ALL NEW(FRONT AND BACK) BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS! THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVEN HARD OR FUNNY, WE DO NOT RIDE OUR BRAKES. SINCE CHRYSLER DOES NOT COVER BRAKES AFTER 12,000 MILES SO WE HAD THEM REPAIRED AT THE OILWORKS, BY A MAN WE TRUST. THE COST WAS $400, YESTERDAY, 300 MILES AFTER THE NEW BRAKES WERE INSTALLED WE HAD TO HAVE NEW ROTORS INSTALLED AGAIN! WE WERE NOT CHARGED FOR THE SECOND ROTORS BUT WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS S…

HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES ON 2008 CHRYLSER MINIVAN AT ONLY 25,000 MILES. MECHANIC SAID REAR BRAKES WERE ALSO CLOSE TO NEEDING REPLACEMENT. NEW BRAKES ALREADY SQUEALING AFTER 5,000 MILES AND BRAKES SEEM TO OVERHEAT QUICKLY, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VAN. I SEE ON-LINE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS CHAT GROUPS (INCLUDING EDMUNDS). I THINK CHRYSLER ALREADY HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS - TSB #05-006-08. *TR
