WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR LOSES COMPLETE POWER--STEERING, BRAKES. ELECTRONIC STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. VERY SCARY/DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM USUALLY ABLE WRESTLE IT TO SIDE OF ROAD WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. AFTER GETTING THE VAN TO A STOP AND SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION, THE VAN WILL FIRE RIGHT UP AND NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES TO TRY AND DIAGNOSIS. NO LUCK.....I'VE REPLACED BATTERIES, WHEEL BEARINGS, YOU NAME IT. ANY ADVICE?????? *TR

VEHICLE: 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, IN USE FOR 20 MONTHS, 17000 MILES. UNEVEN BRAKE PAD WEAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM RATHER THAN A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ISSUE IS BASED ON WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND WHAT DID HAPPEN. HERE ARE MY OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCES (1) IF THE MALFUNCTIONING REAR WHEEL BRAKE CALIPERS ARE UNEXPECTEDLY LOCKING UP THE WHEEL THE OPERATION OF THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP) SAFETY SYSTEMS WILL BE COMPROMISED SINCE THE CONTROL COMPUTERS CANNOT FULLY UNLOCK THE REAR WHEELS ON SLIPPERY ROADS; (2) THE ROTATIONAL DRAG FROM LOCKING REAR WHEELS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXHIBIT VERY POOR STARTING TRACTION AND CONTROL ON SNOW AND A STRONG PROPENSITY TO GET STUCK ESPECIALLY IF THE REAR WHEELS WERE ON A LESS SLIPPERY SURFACE THAN THE FRONT WHEELS, IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO 'ROCK' OR PUSH THE VEHICLE FREE, TURNING OFF THE ESP...
