Two problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While turning into a parking space I touched break and the van accelerated to full throttle. The van jumped the curb and was heading toward 3 people, I turned the steering wheel enough to hit a light pole instead of them. The van quit racing for a few seconds and then revved up again. The light pole fell and I was again headed toward the people. I put both feet on the break and was able to stop the van, but not before hitting the people. Luckily they were just bruised because I just bumped them and didn't run over them. This all happened in a matter of seconds. I almost killed some people and no longer have transportation because the van was totaled.
When the brakes were applied, the vehicle vibrated excessively, there was a 2 second delay before the brakes caught.
