My van has gone through a lot of brake pads and rotors. I went in for new brakes and found out my master cylinder needed replaced. I have had other vehicles that needed brakes, but this van needs them more often. I am considering trading in for another make and model van. It's cost me a lot of money. I am not very pleased with the Dodge Caravan sport. **dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis**770109
