1996 DODGE CARAVAN Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

I HAVE A 1996 DODGE CARAVAN. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2009. BENDIX BRAKE PADS AND BENDIX ROTORS WERE USED. ON DECEMBER 15, 2009, BOTH BRAKE ROTORS FAILED CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING. WHILE SLOWING DOWN A LOUD BANG CAME FROM THE FRONT OF THE VAN. THE BRAKES DID NOT FEEL RIGHT AT THIS POINT. WHILE LOOKING FOR A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND STOP, ANOTHER LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. AT THAT POINT THE VAN HAD NO BRAKES. THE VAN WAS STOPPED USING THE PARKING BRAKE. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAD FAILED. THE MIDDLE HUB SECTION OF THE ROTOR HAD SEPARATED FROM THE ROTOR. THE FAILURE WAS THE SAME IN BOTH ROTORS. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS PRESENT ON THE VAN. BOTH FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACE ON THE VAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE OLD ROTORS. *TR

COMPLETE AND SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO STEER AROUND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING FINE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS FAILURE MODE. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ON THE WEB AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED... *TR

BOUGHT USED 1996 DODGE IN SEPT 2003 AND HAVE REPLACE BRAKES, ROTOR, AND CALIPERS 6 TIMES. MECHANICS DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE. BRAKES ALSO LOCK WHEN I PRESS ON THEM AND HIT BUMP AT SAME TIME CAUSING VAN TO SLIDE WITH ME AND MY INFANT IN IT. HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS EVERY 2-3 MONTHS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY THE DODGE COMPANY TO RECALL THESE DODGE CARAVANS, THIS SITE HAS ABOUT 50% ON COMPLAINTS ON BRAKES AND ROTORS. *NM

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.*AK

HEIGHT SENSOR VALVE, REAR LEFT BRAKE (THE ACTUAL DATE OF THE INCIDENT WAS JANUARY 5, 2003, HOWEVER, THE INCIDENT DATE SEGMENT DID NOT PROVIDE THE YEAR 2003. ALSO, THE NUMBER OF FAILURES SECTION...ONCE FAILURE OCCURRED, IT CONTINUED) WENT TO MECHANIC TO FIND PROBLEM. THERE WAS ANOTHER 1996 VAN THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM (QUITE COINCIDENTAL, WHICH PROMPTED THIS COMPLAINT). MECHANIC SAID THE HEIGHT SENSOR VALVE NEEDED REPLACEMENT, COULD ONLY BE DONE BY DEALER DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A DEALER PART ONLY AND THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDED REMOVAL. THE REASON I AM PROCEEDING WITH THIS COMPLAINT IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD LITTLE TO NO WARNING THAT BRAKE FAILURE WAS IMMINENT. DURING ONE TRIP (APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES TOTAL), BRAKES BEGAN TO FEEL "SPONGY", THEN BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ON NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS WITHOUT OUR THREE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. VAN WAS INSPECTED IN SEPTEMBER, NO INDICATION PROBLEM EXISTED. *JB

Mileage: 92,875

WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE THEN THERE'S A NOISE (PLACE UNKNOWN)AND VEHICLE WILL HAVE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PROBLEM WILL WORSEN WHEN DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE ABS BRAKES ARE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

CONSUMER STATES, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPLIED THE ABS BRAKES SYSTEM, BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. DEALER HAS ENN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.

THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 MONTHS TRYING TO GET FIXED. THE FIRST DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER TWICE AND BLED AIR TO TRY TO REPAIR. THE SECOND DEALER PERFORMED A BRAKE INSPECTION. THEY FOUND A LOT OF AIR IN THE LEFT REAR LINE AND ALSO BLED THE ABS SYSTEM. I ALSO HAD THEM CHECK THE STEERING BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TURNED THE STEERRING WHEEL AND STEERING WAS NOISEY, LIKE A GROANING SOUND. THEY REPORTED THE CLOCK SPRING CLICKING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED CAUSING THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON - AND THERE IS A MOAN OR A HONK NOISE WHEN TURNING WHICH WOULD TAKE NEW P/S HOSES TO REPAIR. ONE WEEK LATER THE PEDAL WAS ONCE AGAIN GOING TO THE FLOOR AND THE ABS STILL COMING ON. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD ORDER A PUMP. WHICH TOOK 2 WEEKS TO GET IN. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY KEPT IT A FEW DAYS THEN CALLED TO SAY IT NEEDED THE ABS HYDRAULIC PACKAGE AT A COST OF $2,000+. THEY RECOMMENDED I CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY COULD ASSIST WITH THE COSTS. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID IT WAS A MECHANICAL PART THAT COULD GO OUT AT ANY TIME THEREFORE MY COST SINCE THE VAN IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY (LOW MILEAGE DOESN'T MATTER). I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAVEN'T HEARD BACK IN TWO DAYS TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD RECCOMMEND/ I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE CRAVAN SO I WANTED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR GAVES PROBLEM AT ABOUT 3 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE. WE BROUGHT IT AND EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, BUT THEY LIED TO US AND SAID IT WAS NOT. EVENTUALLY, ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, THE TRANSMISSIN FINALLY BROKE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE. AFTER THAT THE CAR CONTINUED TO JERK VIOLENTLY WEHENEVER WE WERE GOING UP HILL AND AT 45 MPH. WE KEPT BRING IN IT IN FOR THEM TO FIX IT, KNOWING THAT THIS MIGHT CREATE OTHER SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE JERKING MOTION WAS NOT QUITE AS PRONOUNCED WHEN THEIR MECHANIC DROVE IT. ACCORDING TO THEM, CHRISLER WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO SEE THE TRANSMISSION UNLESS IT JUSTIFIED IT BY BEING COMPLETELY OUT OF COMMISSION. WE HAD THEM TRY TO SERVICE IT ONE MORE TIME, BUT INSTEAD, THEY TRIED TO FIX OTHER THINGS IN IT AND EVEN TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR THEM. I DID NOT PAY BECAUSE THEY DID NOT FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND THE OTHER THINGS ADJUSTED HAD NO RELATION TO THE PROBLEM. ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AFTER THIS SERVICE, I WOKE UP TO GO TO MY CONGREGATION WITH MY CHILDREN, WHEN MY CHILD INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS BURNING. I WENT TO LOOK CLOSELY AND AND SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SMALL CANDLE LIGHT. I TOLD MY CHILDREN TO GO INSIDE THE HOUSE AS GAS FUMES COULD BE LEAKING AND THE CAR COULD EXPLODE. I WENT UP TO CALL THE FIRE DEPT,WHICH TOOK ME ABOUT A MINUTE, AND BY THE TIME I GOT BACK, THE CAR WAS ALREADY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THIS OCCURRED, WITHOUT ANYONE TURNING ANYTHING ON, BE THAT IGNITION OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. THIS IS EVIDENCE OF ONE OF TWO THINGS, THE MECHANIC AT FITZGERALD EITHER DELIVERATELY OR NEGLECTFULLY CREATED THE HAZARD WHEN HE LOOKED AND DID THE WRONG REPAIRS, OR THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT FINALLY WAS ASCELERATED BY THE CONSTANT VIOLENT JERKING MOTION CREATED BY THE TRANSMISSION ONGOING MALFUNCTION,WHICH WENT ON FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS. WE ARE NOW LEFT WITHOUT A CAR THAT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (100000 MILES) AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP

ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY OF 1999, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTING BLINKING ON AND OFF, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLY A BLOWN FUSE. DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY I TOOK THE VAN IN FOR SERVICE AND WHILE THERE IN INFORMED THE SERVED MANAGER THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEGUN TO BLINK AND I THOUGHT MAYBE A FUSE HAD BLOWN. HE AGREED TO HAVE IT CHECKED ALONG WITH THE OTHER REPAIRS I HAD REQUESTED. ONE REPAIR BEING THE SQUEALING BRAKES I HAD REPAIRED IN OCTOBER OF 98. THE SERVICE MANAGER ASSURED ME THE BRAKES WERE FINE, AND THAT THOSE KIND OF BRAKES WILL OFTEN SQUEAL. AFTER THAT HE INFORMED ME THAT IN ORDER TO SOLVE THE AIRBAG PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM AN ADDITIONAL $800.00, BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WAS NO GOOD. AND I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE AIRBAG HAD NEVER BEFORE DEPLOYED. HOW COULD IT NOT BE ANY GOOD? I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE THEN TOLD ME IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. BUT BECAUSE I HAD GONE OVER THE 36000 MILE LIMIT, THEN I HAD TO PAY THE FULL COST. I THEN CALL THE CHYSYLER COOPERATION, AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS SITUATION, THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY, BUT THEY WOULD PAY A PORTION WHICH I FEEL WAS NOT FAIR, BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED MALFUNCTIONED/NOT WORKING IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE VAN IN QUESTION IS THE ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION I HAVE FOR MY FAMILY. BY GOD'S GRACE WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT TO FIND OUT THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. C. FRAZIER/MOTHER/COMSUMER

SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR VAN IN AUGUST OF 1997, WE HAVE HAD MANY REPAIRS AND VISITS TO THE DEALER. AS OF TODAY, THEY HAVE NOT FIXED OR DIAGNOSED THE BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR APPLYING MY BRAKES, A CRUNCHING SOUND OCCURS ,AND I CAN FEEL IT IN THE PEDAL. IT IS A FAIRLY LOUD SOUND AND THE VIBRATION IS DISTRACTING BECAUSE YOU LOSE YOUR BRAKE PEDAL FOR A PERIOD OF 1-2 SECONDS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER DODGE CARAVAN OWNERS AND PLAN TO TAKE A DETAILED SURVEY ON THIS MATTER, BUT, NONE TO THIS POINT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR ANTILOCK BRAKE COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH IS UNDETECTABLE. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME, AND NOT UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. THIS, ALSO, LEADS ME TO THE CONCLUSION THERE IS A MAJOR SAFTEY DEFECT HERE. I HAVE HAD THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CANT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, GET IN AN ACCIDENT? I HAVE ASKED THAT THEY RECALL MY VAN, REFUND FULL PURCHASE PRICE OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE WITH ONE SIMILAR TO MINE. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM: TODAY IT WAS IN FOR BRAKES AND A BLOWN ENGINE HEAD GASKET. PREVIOUSLY, CATALYTIC CONVERTER/ BLOWER MOTOR/BATTERY/ SPEED SENSOR AND ANTI RATTLE BUMPERS THAT STILL HAVENT CORRECTED PROBLEM/FUEL FILTER GROUND STRAP AND FUEL FILLER TUBE GROUND STRAP HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ALSO, DEGLAZED BRAKES, BUT STILL BRAKES SQUEAK.FINALLY, HEADLIGHTS REPLACED W/HOUSING/LAMP, AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY HAVE DONE TO IT WHILE IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE TUESDAY FEB.02. THIS VAN IS NO WAY WORTH THE HASSLES THAT I HAVE BEEN PUT THROUGH AND I DONT THINK ANYONE SHOULD HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS SO EARLY ON. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS MODEL AND HAVE FOUND ATLEAST 100 COMPLAINTS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND OTHER MAJOR REPAIRS AND UNDIAGNOSED PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. I THINK IT IS TIME SOMEONE STEPPED IN AND TOOK A GOOD LOOK AT THIS 96 VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT UP TO SAFTEY STANDARDS BY A LONG SHOT. THANK YOU.
