| I had the brakes on my vehicle repaired twice. the first time my car had approx 40,000 miles and i was told it was due to the way i drive the car. not more than 6 months later the brakes starting vibrating again and i took it back to burlington dodge - were they told me, once again, it was due to the way i drove the car and there was nothing they could except replace them again. my most recent problem was the air conditioning totally malfunctioned. i saw smoke come out of the dash and when i took the car in for repair they told me the entire system had completely failed and i had to put in a new a/c. *jb | |||

| My infinity radio system started losing its time and when i shut the car off it shut the radio and the next thing i knew the radio/cd/cassette player was dead with a cd still in it. i brought it to my mechanic who said with this make/model and year van this was very common for the radio to die. he said they had numorous people complain and have to buy new radios. this is a 3 yr old van i should not have to be replacing the radio in it. of course i cannot even get a comparable system without spending at least $350.00 i think if this is happening to dodge grand caravans a lot then there should be a recall and the manufacturer should replace the system.*ak | |||
