My car is a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan le. It has 120,000 miles on it. I purchased the car new. Rear brake line failure. Failure due to design flaw. Dissimilar metals (steel and stainless steel) used on a joint (flexible coupling) on rear brake lines. Dissimilar metals joint caused electrolytic corrosion and failure (rupture) of brake line. The brake line joint with dissimilar metals design flaw is a time bomb waiting to happen in many of the Dodge and Chrysler. The potential for a very high number of deaths and major injuries due to this design flaw is huge.
