Scotty, I have a 2015 grand caravan. I took it to the dealer for brakes which cost a fortune and after 5-6K miles, the rotors warped. They replaced them under warranty and it happened again, and again, and again. I am on my 5th set of rotors, they nailed me for calipers (which they admitted were not OEM) which also were replaced multiple times, slide pins, brackets, you name it. Is there any chance it is something else causing this. I have another new set on the vehicle and I am just waiting for it to happen again. It usually happens when I am at a high speed, all of a sudden the steering wheel will shake when I hit the brakes and that's it, warped rotors AGAIN! Any ideas?
First of all, I hope you learned never to get auto service at the dealership.
There's a few possibilities, which the should clued into long before your 437th replacement. They're either giving you crappy parts, or there's a problem with braking system. For example, the flexible lines could be worn out causing the brakes to drag. They could also be tightening your lug nuts incorrectly.
they admitted were not OEM
are you saying the dealership gave you aftermarket parts?
They actually admitted they gave me aftermarket parts. And they don't know this, but I have a recording to prove it...
I like the van, it is in great shape, only has 135K and runs like a top. I just don't want to chase this for another year changing every imaginable part until I find out I have some stupid $50 fix. The wheels have been off the vehicle 20 times during this whole saga so I don't know if someone cranked so hard the rim is out of whack or the hub is distorted. I am seriously in to the 5th set of rotors, third set of pads, two or three caliper pins/parts/brackets. It is driving me crazy. Last I heard, they said the lines were good but caliper pins were malfunctioning and slider pins were getting stuck. All changed with new rotors and pads. I am just waiting to feel the steering wheel to start shimmying like crazy. I just know it is going to happen.
