The brakes failed while in rush hour traffic. While at a light several cars back the brake pedal went to the floor. At the light I was able to go to the left but no brake. I was able to turn off the road and into a convenient store parking lot to stop. I had to get a tow truck to get my van and me home safe. It wasn't brake shoes! it looks like it was the power brake booster as in a recall #p14. My VIN is not in this recall but should be. Please extend the Town & Country in this or another recall. Several owners have this problem. Help us please? rita walsh.
I was traveling at 20 mph and turned right onto another street. In mid-turn, the engine cut off without warning and all power steering and power brakes failed. I nearly missed a car on the corner as the car turned. Because I was unable to break, I am not sure how the van stopped without any response from the brakes. Once I came to a stop, I put the car back into park and restarted the car. We bought this car new on 2/13/2013 and have not had this problem before. We do see reports of many Chrysler town and country vans and Dodge caravans reporting this problem going back to 1996, with some recalls along the way. It appears that this is an old issue that has not been properly addressed by Chrysler.
