Two problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 1996 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brake failure approaching intersection went through red light avoided collision with traffic jumped curb entered parking lot and sideswiped pole in drive through before finally stopping. Could have killed someone or myself and wife. Wife was driving. Dealer and Chrysler special investgator could find nothing wrong with brakes!! police report on file # 420920 evansville in. Do not feel confident in driving this vechicle until cause is determined and fixed!!!.
My wife had been driving approximately 30 miles on the freeway. As she was exiting the freeway, she stepped on the brake peddle to slow down normally. She felt pressure from the peddle, but then the peddle went all the way down with no effect. She pumped the peddle at least one more time, but again it went all the way down with no effect. She then had to concetrate on avoiding other cars, but finally rear ended a truck. After the minivan was repaired, we had the brakes inspected by two service centers. The second service center is the one listed in the report and is the one that regularly services our minivan. We are wondering what could cause this type of brake failure and if there are any other similar incidences that have been reported?.
