Eight problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving at 40 mph consumer applied brakes and had no brakes. Consumer pulled to side of the road and applied emergency brakes to stop vehicle. Consumer had vehicle towed to dealer.
When the brakes were applied, the pedal traveled to the floor, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.
While driving at 35 mph brakes locked up and vehicle started to pull to right. Consumer found it difficult to control vehicle. Contacted dealer.
With no warning and in normal driving conditions, the vehicle will not stop while applying braking pressure. Braking failure occurs without warning and only allows for about a 20% braking function even when applying full pressure to the brake pedal. No codes are stored (as per the dealer) and after an incident, the brake will function normally. Dealer has looked the the brake system twice and claims there is no problem. However the loss of braking function occurs randomly. Dealer refuses to replace any parts because no codes have been saved in the computer.
Front rotors were warping due to excessive wear, and causing problem with braking properly or delayed stopping. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under a manufacturer's recall, and vehicle wasout of its warranty. Any repairs would be at consumer's cost. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
Front brakes are wearing excessively. Also, rear brakes are not adjusted properly. Dealer / manufacturer notified. Feel free to provide further details.
While backing vehicle up, right rear brakes locked up. Black streaks on driveway (1/5/99). Emergency brakes were not used. Had contacted dealer (1/20/99), pickard Dodge 530 e. Cumberland pathway corbin ky 40701). Wanted old car back, was charging $8,900.
While driving under wet conditions and when applying the brakes, wheels locked up and the vehicle slid into another vehicle. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
