A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
Purchased my T&C in 2/2012 with 6 miles on it. Within the last month I have noticed a slight vibration when braking while on the highway which became somewhat worse. I began noticing it at slower speeds. I brought the car in about 2 weeks ago and the service rep said maybe a tire balance will work. (this visit is a different problem all together) Unfortunately the problem was not fixed.
I contacted a different dealer and brought it in today. As I thought, they said the rotors were warped and I needed to get new rotors and pads. My vehicle on only has 15200 miles and is 17 months old. I reminded him it was still under warranty but he said the bumper to bumper for brakes "pads" were only 12 months. Since I have an extended warranty it would cost 100 bucks. He also explained that they had a recall on this problem with earlier T&C's but the 2011 was not included and he was doing me a favor by giving it to me for 100 bucks. The work needed to be done so I agreed.
I called Chrysler corp without any help. They agreed that it was not a covered repair, even though they have had numerous problems with earlier years. I expressed my disappointment and went on with my day - 100 bucks less.
This has been an ongoing problem and from what I have read, this is (although hopefully not) just the start. I have only 15200 miles on it. I have been driving for over 45 years and have never had rotors gone bad like this.
