Brakes wear out quickly and frequently

I was just surprised to need new brakes so soon (at 20k and again at 29k miles). It's just me and my husband driving the car. I previously drove a Chrysler Pacifica and may have changed the brake pads once or twice, but not the rotors until about 70k miles. I've just read so many complaints from other folks with the same problem on this vehicle, but no real suggestions as to the cause or a fix. The Mechanic did say that they typically have to replace the calipers on the T&Cs, and I'm hoping that will be the fix, since it's covered under my warranty.

When it comes to Chrysler I'll blame the maker. I'm at 38,600 miles on my 2008 Town & Country and I'm having to put on the third set of rotors. The first two were done by a Chrysler dealership so yes, it's a Chrysler problem. This time I'll find rotors somewhere else that hopefully last longer.

No offense people but you all seem to be riding the brake pedal or something. On my current T & C and my previous GC I changed the pads around 40K the first time and the the pads and front rotors at about 80K. My T & C now has 178,000 miles on it and will get its 3rd set of front rotors. The rears were done at 150K due to a pad coming apart on a road trip, otherwise they would probably be getting done now for the first time. I worked as a service advisor in Dodge dealerships for many years and don't ever remember anyone replacing brakes as often as you say you are. I would look at how your vehicles are loaded, what kind of driving you do, and your driving habits before I'd start blaming the vehicle. Chrysler has been building these vans for a couple of years now and for them to all of a sudden come up with an inferior brake design to the best selling mini-vans of all time would seem a little unlikely. Bad run of parts? Maybe. Lead-footed driver's. More likely.
