SERVICE BRAKES
WE NOTICED WHEN COMING OFF OF THE FREEWAY A PULSATING/RUMBLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THE BRAKES WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SOMETIME SOON. OUR VAN NOW HAS 34,000 MI AND OUR REAR BRAKES ARE NOW METAL TO METAL. GOING TO NEED PADS AND ROTORS. NEVER HEARD OF BRAKES GOING OUT WITH THAT FEW MILES. DEALER SAYS THAT IS NORMAL. MY OTHER CAR HAS 240K ON THE ORIGINAL REAR BRAKES. WHAT'S WRONG CHRYSLER???? *TR
