As for the brake pads not lasting guys, I think I found a fix for this. Go to your local auto parts store and try a ceramic pad. I got 43,000 out of mine, and 12,000 out of my factory pads.
Also I have my transmission flushed and filter changed every 30,000 miles - still going strong. Whatever you do, DO NOT use Ford DEXTORN MRECON fluid in this or any Chrysler vehicle - it killed my moms transmission in her 03 Caravan. She had it fixed. and like I do, flushed by the dealer every 30,000. She has not had any more trouble.
Use a strict service schedule on this vehicle and you should be fine. I have had good luck - 3000 mile oil change, 30,000 mile transmission flush and new filter at the DEALER.
I do know there is LEMONS out there, and I feel bad for you all that have them. I hope you all get better luck in the future.
Thank you so much the brake pads worked like you said factory must install poor pads my 2001 is going strong now with 165000 miles I will trade in 2007 for the sto and go thank you for your post.
