2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY RADIATOR DEFECT AT 28000 MILES ROTORS AND CALIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 15000 MILES (FROM 15K TO 30K MILES ON VEHICLE). BRAKES HAVE BEEN DONE 3 TIMES AND ARE IN NEED OF A NEW SET LESS THAN 1500 MILES SINCE LAST NEW SET. I DAMAGED THE BACK END OF MY T+C BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP; LUCKILY, MY CHILDREN WEREN'T IN THE CAR. CHRYSLER IS GIVING THE RUNAROUND AND WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, THEY BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING LIKE METAL ON METAL AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE FINE (I HAD THEM CHECKED THREE TIMES WITHIN A 3 MONTH PERIOD AND ONE OF THE TIMES MY FAMILY AND I WERE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 6 HOURS WAITING!) CHRYSLER'S COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME ON BOTH PHONES (CELL AND HOME) AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK. *TR
