Brake wear on other Town & Country years
No other Town & Country model year has enough reports of brake wear for a sheet of its own. See every Town & Country year.
What this problem usually is
Brake reports cover a wide spread of symptoms. Grinding or squealing is common, and so is a pulsing pedal or a shake through the car when stopping. Others describe pads and rotors worn out long before they expected, a brake warning light, or a pedal that goes soft or sinks toward the floor. The most serious ones say the car didn't stop in time.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (3 reports).

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Steering Wheel And/Or Seat Vibration - Front Brake Rotors This bulletin involves inspecting the Julian date and if necessary, replacing the front brake rotors.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 4 of 29 reports involved a crash and 3 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
