Brake Fluid Leak Problems of Chrysler Town & Country

Luckily I was in my driveway when my brake pedal went straight to the floor. I’m a mechanic and an engineer. I immediately searched for a puddle of brake fluid on the driveway. Finding it between the rear wheels on the ground I raised the rear end up to access the suspect area. Shocked, I saw a hydraulic brake manifold with 4 brake lines coming out of it and one was clearly total rust. All others were in completely new condition. Clearly the rusted one leading to the left rear brake cylinder was processed differently than the others. Three perfect condition, one completely rusted????? something needs to be recalled, now!!!! I changed the brake line and all is well. If a recall is issued I want my money and time reimbursed, please.

I purchased this van Dec 2010. I was coming home from work at 9pm driving on the interstate and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor - no brakes. Next day I took to shop and was told all the lines were rusted and needed replaced. I had all new brake lines installed front to back by a repair shop in March 2011. Once again, I had the same exact problem today, just over a year- except the lines were not rusted. 08/21/2012 - driving on a state road going about 40 mph coming to a stop light slowing down, suddenly the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. No brakes. Fluid was gushing out by the rear tire. I pulled to gas station and the fluid was leaking/dripping out. The more the brake pedal was pushed the more fluid was forced out. I could have been in an accident even killed. Lucky for me it was 1 pm in the afternoon. I moved from indiana 6/1/2011 to florida. The van now has 180,000 miles.

Hit the brakes heavily to avoid a stopped vehicle. Four miles later, the brake pedal went to the floor while proceeding down a three mile mountain road. The vehicle was finally stopped by placing the transmission in low range, pumping the brakes and application of the emergency brake. Brake fluid was leaking from both metal brake lines just aft of the anti-lock control valve. The metal lines are severely corroded at the junction of the solid metal line and the braided stainless steel section. . Read more...
