“The rear brakes (both) of my 2002 Voyager failed - was making loud mechanical noise, when the parking brake is released it did not release the brake (the car will not move for few minutes), make loud noise while braking. The dealer told me ice and water got inside the brake drums and frozen the pads, eventually the whole brake system failed. There is service bulletin #05-003-05 which exactly described the problem and how to fix it. The plate-rear drum brake (2), shoe kit, cylinder, fluid, and drums were replaced at a cost of $627.16 including labor and taxes. …”

One tire which has to do with brake isn't turning but weight of car can drag it. Wants to break ball joints, bearings ...to see problem.. Related to break fluid leaking out. Mechanic made a makeshift piece and welded to try and stop leak. Can't use defog, air, A/C or car reeks of gas. Complained about this last year as well. Gears shift by themselves, very scary. You go to put in park moves to reverse.. I am disabled. …”
