Default Rear Brakes - Repaired by Dealer

I've been having some issues with the right rear brakes on my 2012 Grand Caravan. Intermittent squealing, and last week after I parked, I could smell brake dust as soon as I got out of the van. The right rear wheel was hot to the touch. I took it to the dealer (Comox Valley Dodge) and they immediately acknowledged that there is a problem with the brake pad adaptors on those vans. They replaced them with new adaptors, new pads, and new rotors on both sides. No questions asked and no hassle.

vonJaerschky,

Excellent news! I'm pleased to hear Comox Valley Dodge was able to take care of you.

Bucking the norm? You found a dealer with some modicum of integrity. Glad to hear it even though you're over the border.

2004 dodge Durango 5.7 4x4. prepping car for long trip today & noticed slight leak on seal. fluid level seems fine but need to find a more level spot to be sure & get more 75w 140 synth..


Question is, will it be ok. Going 2k pulling a trailer in cold weather. Car never really been in cold weather before. Have a new battery. Have 80k miles on it & have always been on top of the fluid changes.


Any help appreciated. Nervous long tripper.
