Four problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I approached a red light hit the brakes. The car did not stop. I hit two cars and the median. The passenger air bag deployed nut not the driver side. I had major injuries including broken ankle, hand, ribs and breathing. I spent 3 months in the hospital. .
The abs valve on the driver side is closing causing brakes to grab while driving. Several mechanics with diagnostic equipment agree this should not be happening and recommended I check to see if it was recalled. It is, but not for my year and model. Mechanics also noted that the dashlight should have indicated a problem and did not, nor were their machines able to detect the exact problem.
The vehicles brakes wore every 3000 miles.
Driver experiences random loss of brake pedal pressure when stopped at a stop light. Quick release and pushing on brake regains pedal pressure.
