2006 Chrysler town and country 60,000 miles brake failure, air in the brake fluid, causing brakes to become inoperable. Front caliper rebuilt, brakes bled, good for a couple weeks then it happened again.
At 6,800 miles my new 2006 town and country van had to have the rotors and brakes replaced. The brakes overheated coming down a gradual sloping mountain. The brakes overheated again after the brakes were replaced at apx 7,800 miles, dealer said back brakes was not adjusted properly . I drive this mountain alot this is the first car to do this. I am reluctant to drive the van back in this area so I take my other car. I like the van but brakes should not give problems at this mileage. Concerned about safety of my family.
