Because they are. I have a 2000 Voyager, which did well for about 44,000 miles. Then I had to have the rotors and front brakes replace. I went 22,000 miles, and needed them again. Then I went only 6000 miles and needed them again. At that point I complained, and they said perhaps the calipers were sticking, and so I paid to have the calipers replaced, as well as the rotors and brakes again. My adult daughter, who had been out of the country while this was going on, returned at that time, and bought the car from me. She became the sole driver, and 2000 miles later, the brake pads needed to be replaced, and the rotors needed to be machined. They suggested it was our driving habits, but since each of us was the only driver of the car for one of these periods, I can prove that is not so. Today we had to take it back after only 1,300 miles, because it sounds like the rotors are shot again. I think Chrysler has a problem, and we as consumers need to make them aware of it. Autumn for the 94 caravan brakes,you should try replacing the rubber hose.I know lots of people had same problem and this fixed it . the hoses block inside, fluid comes out but will not go back. good luck.
Warped front rotors are the most likely cause
Get a manual on your car from AUTOBOOKSONLINE.COM and it will take you through it and keep you from messing something up.
You jack up and block the car. Remove wheel, remove brake caliper. Rotor is now free.

Most of the time, you can get by with just replacing the pads. The rotors generally do not need to be turned if there is no pedal pulsation or vibration. Rotors will need to be replaced if the exceed the minimum thickness which is stamped on the web (area with lug holes).
if there is uneven wear on the rotors, the new pads will take time to wear into the grooves on the rotors. rotors in poor condition will reduce the efficiency of your brakes, and promote wear of the pads, you will end up changing them more often. Most brake shops can turn rotors back to being smooth and true.
i have 2006 endeavor changing brakes do i have to remove the two screws in the rotor to remove so i can have resurfaced
Have the front rotors turned on a lathe at a dealership. check brakes and rotors
nope ...its the same as any other car for the basic mechanic.
Sometimes it happens because of rotors. If they are old and have a lot of grooves on its surface it will cause the grinding noise. Also it might happen if brakes were not cleaned properly during the replacement.
