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.

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

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
