Three problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 2008 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving at 25 mph towards a stop sign. I applied the brakes and I had no brakes. None, without warning the brakes completely failed. Went through the stop sign. Fortunatly there were no vehicles coming and no pedestrians crossing. Have driven for 40 years and never had anything like this happen. Very very dangerous. Had vehicle taken to dealer in spokane. Do not know what the problem is yet. This is the first year of a redesigned body style. Maybe this is just the beginning of trouble for this vehicle.
Multiple brake failures on my 2008 Dodge Caravan.
The brakes drag very badly on this car, presumably due to some failure of the anti lock braking system. This brakes are badly overheated all the time, which is a safety defect, and, even with disc brakes can cause failure. The master brain for the brake system is located where it's guaranteed to be splashed by water and where any leakage from the transmission or engine is gong to foul the connections.
