Near brake failure due to brake fluid leak as a result of rusted brake lines researched internet and found numerous complaints of similar brake failures due to rusted break lines on older dodge and plymouth minivans - no safety recall issued by nhtsa. *tr
Braking system is awful!! i have had the rotors and calibers replaced twice. every time i take it to the dealership they inform me that this is normal for the dodge caravan. they say it is because it has the body of a van but the braking system is designed for that of a midsize car. and because it is front wheel drive all the weight and force rests on the braking system. i find this appalling!! i have never had this many problems with any other vehicle i have owned. as a matter of fact, the first time i had to have this work done, the van was only about 8 months old and the "brake work" did not fall under warranty. the right rotor was replaced as well as the calibers. the last time i had it done the mechanic kept saying, "your calibers are sticking and they affect the rotor and had to replace the one on the left side."
