2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport FWD. 65,000 miles.
New front brakes/rotors..new back brakes.
Acceleration becomes sluggish on long trips, passenger side front and rear tires smell of hot rubber afterwards. Happens infrequently enough that we can't pin down the problem, and our mechanic says the brakes are not dragging. Doesn't happen on shorter trips. When the acceleration began acting up, I had to press the gas hard to keep it at 40.. suddenly then bursting after a bit into passing gear. applying the brakes after resulted in mushy brakes.
Also an occasional grinding/rattling sound coming from under the hood when shifting into reverse, though not every time. When it does, going into park and back into reverse seems to stop it.
