1999 Dodge Grand Caravan brakes complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 54 of 54, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Parking brake failed. Yh
Master cylinder has failed resulting in greatly reduced braking ability. I have been waiting for a replacement for well over a week. This wait leads me to believe that there may be a shortage of these parts possibly due to a unusually high failure rate of this part. This car does not have anti-lock brakes. I was told that there has been a recent change in the supplier of this part to chrysler.
The driver was unable to stop the vehicle quickly because a bad master cylinder caused the brake pedal to fail. Yh
Abs braking system light stays on. Has had some problems with the brakes. Dealer stated will have automobile repaired in one week.
Upon slowing down to stop at a stop sign ABS pump started running and brake pedel went to floor car failed to stop at stop sign and proceeded into the intersection ABS light came on

Our 1999 dodge grand caravan was modified for my wife who is disabled and confined to a wheelchair. The mini van was converted by vantage mobility international (vmi) in phoenix az. During the modifiacation, the exhaust system was re-routed and during normal driving conditions, caused the muffler to move and sever the right rear brake fluid line as well as the ABS electrical controller line. The movement of the exhaust system also punctured a hole in the rear of the muffler that would have also presented a carbon monoxide situation. If I had not had my local dodge dealer look at my van on this particular day, my family would have been in an accident. This company provides these vehicles nationwide and this situation could continue to present a safety hazard to other owners and should be investigated. Thank you.
Consumer was driving approx. 45 MPH when she smelled burning plastic, pulled into the garage there was smoke from front of vehicle in the tire areas, vehicle was towed to dealership, was test driven and could not duplicate the problem, since june 1st problem comes and goes, second time dealership discovered that the booster brake was out, at this time they are waiting for parts.
Emergency brake did not release right rear wheel after use. Wheel skidded about 3 feet when driver decided to back-up to attempt release. Wheel released with a loud bang. Owner's manual does not list capacities for oil, coolant etc... Called chrysler, they claim capacities are on back cover of manual. Chrysler verified manual rear cover is blank. Chrysler to copy 1998 manual back and send to customer. Chrysler claims 1998 capacities are unchanged for 1999.
Abs light keeps blinking and brake fluid leaks out. Problem occurred two times. Dealer contacted and cannot duplicate the problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
When pulling into a parking space and applying the brakes, brakes went straight to the floorboard, causing the vehicle to accelerate.
