2000 Caravan Brake problem pls help!

[nwoodbeck]

Just changed all the brakes 2 months ago, was working fine till today I am driving and notice the brake pedal getting soft. Continued to soften till finally in hits the floor. It does not re pressurise when I pump it but it still stops. When I jam on the brakes it pulls left. Reservoir is still full. Did the booster check and it works. Any ideas before i spend millions to fix the wrong thing???? thanks for your time!

Probably a hydraulic leak, on the right side, maybe a hose, line or caliper/cylinder. Did the brake warning light come on?

[nwoodbeck]

No the light did not come on and the fluid is still topped up...

lift the front of the vehicle apply the brakes and try to spin both front wheels,

A quick place to check - (virtually the same thing happened to me just before I got rid of my 98) - look under the van just forward of the drivers side rear tire, the brake lines enter the proportioning valve, these valves have a tendency to corrode due to dissimilar metal and the leak is rather minor however the pedal will go to the floor. You may not notice the fluid loss right away. The mech I brought it to told me he changes at least one a month for the same problem.
Best of luck

I am having the same problem in my 98 GC. I think I will inspect the proportioning valve, please post your fix, and I'll do the same..

i'm having the same problem with my 01 caravan though i lose pressure about every two weeks. the mech that fixed them has replaced everything on the front drivers side and he said he knows the air is getting in the line on that side but cant figure out why... any help on this would greatly be appreciated.
