When driving the vehicle, at random times the abs system warning lights turn on and then I have no brakes. I have taken it to several repair shops, seen various mechanics and dealerships and it continues to be a serious problem. No one has been able to solve or fix the problem. As a senior citizen, I am not in a position to purchase a newer vehicle, thus I continue to drive this vehicle. I am afraid that I may not be as fortunate when the brakes go out again.

This is the 3rd time in 20 months that I have taken my 2002 Dodge Caravan ex in to the dealer for service. The abs light comes on and stays on. The dealer claims the problem is due to the abs sensors failing.
Consumer complained about ongoing abs brake problem. Abs light came on and would either go off within seconds or stay on all day. This caused brake failure on separate occasions. Also, brakes failed to stop vehicle immediately, resulting in extended stopping distance, which almost caused a rear end collision. Dealership was unable to correct the problem. They performed a diagnostic test but no failure code was found.
