7/21/2010- BROUGHT 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IN TO DEALER FOR A/C RECALL AND FRONT END SHIMMY WHILE BRAKING. DUE TO WARPING ON ALL FOUR ROTORS, DEALER REPLACES AT NO CHARGE, THANKFULLY, REAR ROTORS, BUT ONLY RESURFACES FRONT ROTORS. ARE THE NEW REAR ROTORS ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE DEFECTIVE ROTORS THEY JUST REPLACED? WHY EVEN BOTHER RESURFACING DEFECTIVE FRONT ROTORS? DEALER THEN REINSTALLS EXISTING FRONT AND REAR PADS. CALLED CHRYSLER AND BASED ON OUR VIN # , CHRYSLER HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ANY ROTOR DEFECTS WITH OUR VAN. 7700 MILES, ALL FOUR ROTORS WARPED, SAME FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED THEN PUT BACK ON THE VAN WITH OLD PADS ALL AROUND. NO RECALL, NO SERVICE BULLETIN, NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT ANY PROBLEM, BUT WARPED ROTORS AT 7700 MILES SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG HERE. NOW THE ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE FRONT ROTORS THAT HAVE BEEN CUT ARE ON THE VAN, WAITING TO WARP AGAIN. FAMILY MEMBER WITH AN EARLIER MODEL 2009 T & C HAS RECEIVED FROM CHRYSLER A 'WARRANTY EXTENSION' ON FRONT ROTORS AND PADS, BUT NOT THE REAR ROTOR OR PADS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT BAD BRAKES ALL AROUND ON THESE VANS , AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS WITH ROTORS AND PADS OF HIGHER QUALITY. OR IS THE ISSUE AN IMPROPERLY DESIGNED BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THESE MODEL AND YEAR VANS ? *TR
