Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder Problems of Chrysler Voyager

Recently I noticed the brake pedal was "spongy"- I inspected the brake system and found a steel portion of left rear brake line assembly rusted and leaking. The line fell apart completely during removal. The line assembly was replaced. I do have the old line assembly for inspection. This vehicle has brakes that wear out more frequently than any other vehicle I've ever owned. I've had to replace the front brakes twice and the rear brakes and wheel cylinders in less than 60,000 miles. When I try to obtain replacement parts for the front brake system I invariably receive the wrong parts- I have to get parts listed for a 4 cyl. Vehicle even though mine is a v-6. I have tried several name-brand parts manufacturers and all have the same issue. I believe my vehicle was assembled at the factory with the wrong front brake system which is underrated and results in premature wear. I have also, on a previous occasion, had an issue with an "abs" light and "brake" light coming on- even though my vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes. At that time there were no leaks or other faults to cause the warning lights. I was forced to pay the dealer to "re-flash" the computer which was improperly programmed by the manufacturer. The manufacturer had a TSB for this condition and I believe there should not have been a charge to correct a manufacturing defect. This vehicle has had several brake system problems which should not be occurring on a vehicle with less than 60,000 miles!.

2002 Voyager rear brakes failed. Consumer pulled out of parking lot and heard a loud bang, consumer then felt loss of control and braking difficulties. Two days later the rear brake system was rebuilt by replacing the plate - rear drum brake (2), shoe kit, cylinder, fluid and drum. The consumer request reimbursement for the rear brake system because the consumer feels that the manufacturer knew of the problem but failed to notify him. There was a service bulletin for this problem 05-003-05.

The rear brakes (both) of my 2002 Voyager failed - was making loud mechanical noise, when the parking brake is released it did not release the brake (the car will not move for few minutes), make loud noise while braking. The dealer told me ice and water got inside the brake drums and frozen the pads, eventually the whole brake system failed. There is service bulletin #05-003-05 which exactly described the problem and how to fix it. The plate-rear drum brake (2), shoe kit, cylinder, fluid, and drums were replaced at a cost of $627. 16 including labor and taxes. I believe this problem should be considered serious and be a 'recall' so that the problem is fixed free of charge to the customer. I called Chrysler at 800 992 1997 to claim reimbursement for the repair work. The Chrysler agent told me that the vehicle is out of warranty for a long time there will not be any assistance.
