I took my van to the dealership because the brakes don't work. I have disc brakes on all 4 tires. The ABS light was on, the dealer reset the module and the light went off, however...I still have no power brakes....manual mode and requires extensive pressure to stop...
Why can't I get a resolution..the recall work was never performed
Recall Date:
OCT 29, 1996
Model Affected:
1997 Dodge Grand Caravan
Summary:
THE MASTER CYLINDER REAR SEAL, BETWEEN THE HYDRAULIC FLUID AND THE VACUUM RESERVOIR, MAY NOT SEAL ADEQUATELY ALLOWING HYDRAULIC FLUID TO BE DRAWN INTO THE POWER ASSIST VACUUM RESERVOIR.
Consequences:
AS THE HYDRAULIC FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR DECREASES, THE LEVEL SENSOR WILL DETECT THE LOSS OF FLUID AND ILLUMINATE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BRAKE WARNING LAMP. CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED CAN RESULT IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES.
