Started 2001 grand caravan ex after shopping run,ABS and traction control check lights remained on. Pulled over twice and restarted,same lights stayed on. Vehicle had 26,078 miles on it when this occurred. Checked brake fluid level,o.k. Luckily for our family,the vehicle still had enough brake pedal pressure,though compromised (squishy,not firm, secure and controlled as it was prior to the occurrence), and the brakes could still be used to stop vehicle. Check the vehicle again after a few hours(checked brake fluid again, ABS fuse checked-out o.k.,started vehicle)no change. No change the next day.

Today, while driving our dodge grand caravan, my wife applied the brakes. They made a grinding noise, and the ABS light came on. The car has slightly over 16,000 miles and this is the third time that this has occurred. The first was when the vehicle was 9 months old with 5 600 miles on it. The second was when the vehicle was 23 months old with 14,612 miles on it. Today, in liess than 2 months and 2000 miles it has occurred again. We are worrired that there is a design defect with the braking system on this vehicle.

The transmission catastrophically failed for the second time on an exit ramp. Fortunately, my wife was able to maintain control of the vehicle. The front barke rotors are warped. My wife was informed by dodge that this shimmy we were feeling as we applied the brakes was the ABS engaging. After taking the vehicle to another dodge dealership, we were informed the problem is warped front brake rotors. In addition, because the vehicle has over 12000 miles, we now have to pay for the repairs! The leather seating in the rear is 'delaminating.' (I don't know of a better way to describe it). The rear automatic hatch does not automatically open. This too is a recurring problem.
