4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2004

Coming back to ohio from oklahoma ( vacation ) got to st. Louis and tried to apply the brakes and my foot went to the floor, absolutely no brakes. Got the van slowed down and got off interstate 70, it was approximately 9-9:30 at night. Spent the night at a motel got up in the morning and tried to put brake fluid in the resevoir, seeing that it was low and hoping that would fix the problem but the fluid was coming out as fast as I could put it in. Had to call Chrysler hotline and have the van towed into a Chrysler dealer. There were no parts to be found so we had to spend the night in a motel and called the dealer the next day (Friday). Was told parts would not be in until maybe Monday and one passenger had a plane leaving Sunday to go to las vegas and the other passenger had to be back to work on Monday morning. Had to find a car to rent to come home, received a call at 12 noon on Tuesday July 13th and had to schedule the 2 days off to go back and pick up the van and return the rental. Had to take 2 days off work, hotel bills, meal bills, gasoline bills, car rental bills and misc. . Asked for the part back and was told it was sent back to the factory.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2003

I recently purchased a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan sport 3. 3 liter,18,000 miles on odometer when purchased,vehicle wants to pull to right, and brakes pulsate when applied. Notified Dodge dealership where purchased, (lee Dodge,west brook,maine) brought vehicle back for service and was told "they" could not duplicate problem????? I told them I felt vehicle was out of alignment,they supposedly did the alignment,and vehicle still pulls to right! at this point they had a tech. Go with me,the tech explained that he felt it was the crown of the road, I have driven plenty of vehicles over the course of my life and I am aware of a road crown, but this is completely unacceptable, something is wrong with this Mini van, and all the dealership wants to do is patronize me!!! I have made another call to lee Dodge and told them that I will be bringing this back to them and they had better get it right this time! ps and since my previous visit I now have a vibration in my steering wheel upon slow moving turning,they say they will also look into this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Is any one else experiencing these types of problems??? please help, I just bought this vehicle for my wife and 3 kids, and I sure do want to be certain its a safe vehicle! I have only had this vehicle 10 days!! purchased on 5-28-03 dealer was notified 1 and a half days later of these problems. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
