 Description of the problemOn july 19th we lost all brakes on our 1997 dodge caravan. The next day full use of the brakes returned. On july 21st we once again had complete failure of the brakes. We are only owners of this low mileage vehicle. We took the van to tires plus to have the system checked. The only thing found was slight wear on the front brakes. We had them replace the pads but the vehicle still had intermittent brake loss. Next the bled the lines again and we had brakes again. We took the vehicle home and drove it for seven days but lost brakes again on the 29th of july. This time the master cylinder was replaced but still brakes were intermittant. Right now the van is at jim's dodge country being worked on. This time the claim is that the ride high proportioning valve is defective. We use the van for our children and all the times we have lost our brakes children have been in the vehicle. We have managed to avoid any accidents but we have been lucky. Our vehicle is very low mileage and has been well cared for so i think mechanically this needs to be investigated before someone gets hurt.
