What owners wrote
I was braking as I was descending a hill on the highway when the front brakes got so hot that my automobile started to shimmy. I stopped and discovered that my right front brakes were on fire. I had my front brakes pads and rotors replaced about 7,000 miles ago with mopar value line brakes at the dodge dealership. My vehicle is a 2005 dodge grand caravan with 56,380 miles on it.
Dt*: the contact stated without warning, there was a loud crunch noise that came from the brakes while stopping. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and the brake pads and rotors were replaced. Updated 3/17/2006 -
