The inside of each front brake rotor was pitted. The rotors were original equipment for the car and were replaced with after market rotors. *jb *cb
1999 Plymouth Voyager brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 29 of 29, newest first, as owners wrote them.
It has been noticed that the brakes (the whole system) have to be replaced every three months. The last time the brakes had to be replaced was on 4/28/2003.
Premature corrosion of brake lines. Two brake lines leading to the rear brakes rusted at junctions between the hard tubing and flexible tubing. Both corroded with the same pattern and only at the above mentioned location. Indicative of material incompatibility - failure to engineer the part properly. Rusted part failed completely and without warning. Could have caused an accident if the vehicle was moving fast and needed to brake hard. The gas tank had to be removed to replace the faulty brake lines. They were, therefore, very expensive to replace.
$5,975.00 - in the last 16 months the 1999 plymouth voyager van I purchased at courtesy chrysler has been in the shop over 18 times, often for the same problems. I have had to buy 6 new times and 3 new batteries. On average, I have added between 3 and 4 quarts of oil every month and new coolant every 3 months (it over heats a lot). I have suffered verbal and mental abuse from the personnel at courtesy chrysler to the point where I had to jump out of my moving van as my personal service advisor was berating me and told me that there was nothing wrong with my van, the brakes, the engine, etc., during a test drive. When I opened the door to jump out he stepped on the brakes...and they did not work! Mind you, they had my vehicle in their shop for the last two days to repair the brakes and my personal service advisor kept saying that the van was fine! After giving me a brand new 2002 chrysler minivan, they said that my van would be ready the next afternoon for pick-up and if there were any problems, they would contact me.
Brakes have been replaced twice since vehicle was purchased. Stopping distance has increased, and there is a noise that comes from brakes. Contacted dealer, and dealer cannot figure out what caused it.
Vehicle in reverse gear with foot on the brake when it suddenly accelerated backwards. Vehicle was stopped by two chain link fences. Dealer was notified and couldn't find cause.
While attempting to make a sudden stop while traveling 25 MPH on damp road conditions, anti-locking brake system failed, causing pedal to go to the floor. Parking brake had to be engaged in order to stop vehicle. Please provide further details.
When turning to the left, the ABS brake light comes on until vehicle is turned to the right. When this happens, it goes off. Had taken vehicle to dealer, and mechanic placed it on diagnostic machine and nothing was found. Problem is getting worse. Abs brake light has remained steadily on.*ak
There was a noise coming from the front right of vehicle. Dealership informed him they needed to replace front brakes and rotate rotors at 22,000 miles. A brake specialist informed him that rear right cylinder was leaking fluid with less than 23,000 miles on vehicle. Please provide any additional information/attachments. *note, consumer spoke with another consumer who was experiencing same problem while at dealership.
Front end goes through too many brakes.
I have lost my brakes twice, without warning, master cylinder keeps failing.
With almost 24,000 miles on my vehicle, without any warning at all, my brakes began grinding. I drove the vehicle home and called to bring it in for service. The vehicle had been fine the rest of the day and weeks previous. My husband looked at car and brakes were metal to metal--this was on a wednesday. No dealer had appt till monday. I had to be extremely aggressive to get a next day appt. Had it repaired next day at ramsey chrsyler in nj. I'm concerned that there would have been a failure of brakes had I not been smart enough to stop driving it (there are many people who wouldn't realize it was a major problem). I usually have my 2 year old in the car and was quite upset that without any warning sensor or light the brakes were metal to metal.
When pressing on the brakes van would jerk back and forth. Also, back door latch is getting hard to open.
Brake drums were warped, and brake fluid was leaking.
When applying brakes in normal conditions, grinding noise occurs. Cause unknown.
Faulty crankshaft sensor caused the vehicle to suddenly stop while driving. Nlm
Vehicle was full of water on the passenger's side. Roof has a hole inside of it, and when it rained, water leaked into the vehicle. Also, brakes are making a loud streaking noise.
Premature brake wear. Please provide further details.
When brakes were applied the pedal went to the floor, causing an extended stopping distance, and resulting in a collision. Driver sustained minor injuries. Also, dealer has replaced brake pads and rotors.
