Cooling fans sometimes (mostly in cool weather) run continously . Fans come on when coming to a stop.I brought the van in to the dealer to have it checked and the service manager said there wasn't any thing wrong. My front brake pads wore out at 10,000 miles on 9/11/2001. Brake pads were again replaced on 12/26/2001 with appr. 16,000 miles on my speedometer.
2001 Dodge Caravan brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer applied emergency parking brake while vehicle was being washed. When brake was released light on the instrument panel indicated that emergency parking brake was off. However, front and rear wheels would not unlock. Dealer stated that problem occurred due to rust buld up between pads and cylinders. Please give any further details.
The vehicle began pulling to the right, the dealer performed a front end alignent but now the vehicle pulls in both directions. Nlm
Landmark dodge realigned the front end and replaced both calipers during a three month timespan. This did not eleminate the problem. I contacted the manufacture, and was asked to take the vehicle to champion crysler for a second opinion. I did this. They told me that the alignment was way out of specfications for this vehicle and they reset it to sepcs. I then was asked to test the vehicle to see if they had made a change. I did this. While testing the vehicle a large ford pickup pulled out in front of my wife. She hit the brakes and the wheels locked and our vehicle made a 90 degree right turn without her even turning the steering wheel. At this point I returned the vehicle to champion crysler and refused to drive it any longer. My family's safety is more important to me than to let them ride in this defective vehicle.
