09 caravan breaks

Front pads normally wear faster than the rear. They do 70% of the stopping. About a year ago I changed the rear brake shoes for the first time at 196K miles. That said, 5th generation vans (2008-2013), especially 08-10, have a well documented history of brake issues, among them front pads wearing faster than usual. Can't say there is a sure fire fix for it but can say it was so bad Chrysler placed an extended warranty for it but only up to 36K miles: http://forum.chryslerminivan.net/sho...nd-Chrysler-TC

Have your concerns been diagnosed by a Dodge dealer? Have they been able to advise if this is normal wear?
If you have any questions please PM me your VIN# and I'd be happy to review this for you.
