Two problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Complete and sudden brake failure while approaching a stoplight. I was very lucky to be able to steer around the vehicle in front of me to avoid a serious accident. Prior to the incident the brakes were working fine. This is an extremely dangerous and serious failure mode. I have seen other reports of this on the web and it is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or killed. . .
Brake system failure.
