My front brakes have to be changed every three months , my van will stall or act like its going to stall I have to give it gas and after I move for a few it stops, my van is constantly out of line which wears on the tires ,the metal coolant lines that go for the rear heat was rusted and corroded badly causing a huge leak , also the transmission cooler bracket locates in front of radiator broke causing a hole in the radiator, this has not only happened in my 2004 grand caravan but also in my elderly parents 2004…
