TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER VOYAGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BRAKE SYSTEM SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY TREMENDOUS PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKES TO FUNCTION. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY CLEANED THE BRAKE PADS WITH THE AIR LINE BLOWER, ADDED SWAY BAR LINKS, AND REPLACED THE BRAKE SHOES AND DRUMS. SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER FAILURE WAS AN ISOLATED ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06E022000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

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. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SERIOUS AND BE A 'RECALL' SO THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 TO CLAIM REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR WORK. THE CHRYSLER AGENT TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR A LONG TIME THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ASSISTANCE. *JB
