“We bought a used 2001 Chrysler Town And Country in march. Right away we started having brake problems. We have had the vehicle in the shop 3 times for the brakes. Today I went out, and there was absolutely no brakes. The pedal was all the way to the floor, and the van was still rolling. We have replaced pads, caliper, and lines already.”
NHTSA complaint #10331127, filed 2010-05, 111,000 miles“2001 Chrysler Town And Country mini van brakes continue to fail in cold weather. Bought this car in july of 2009. Brakes started failing in nov 09 had them looked at 7 times and each time they thought they fix the problem, but brakes would work for about 2 weeks before failing again. Don't know what the problem is, but it is a major concern when I have a newborn baby and three other children on board and this is our only transportation. Please help.”
NHTSA complaint #10304963, filed 2010-02, 89,000 miles“Brake lines rusting. I had a 94 van that was totaled because the brake lines burst during a panic stop. My son was driving the van and a truck went through a red light. My son slammed on the brakes and nothing. The pedal went to the floor; the van rolled down a ravine into a guard rail and totaled the van. The left strut housing was ripped off. At the time I was suspicious of what happened, I thought the brakes could have been pumped to slow the vehicle down, my son said he tried to pump the brakes but nothing happened. …”
