Toyota.ca indicates about 60K or four years for Brake service with fluid replacement.

lexus.ca indicates every 32K or three years.

 

You won't have an "issue" until one day you have an emergency situation and slam on your brakes and your pedal goes all the way to the floor. This happened to my 96 Dodge 3500 towing a 28 ft gooseneck loaded with a V16 Cadillac show car 15 years ago. Fortunately I was able to manually apply the trailer brakes while I pulled to the side of the Interstate. We found a rust out spot in a front brake line. You only want to do this ONCE.in a life time, My fluid was 9-10 years old.

 

Brakes can break, but breaks are not brakes.
Got it?!!?!

 

On a Chrysler product, you don't need to change the brake fluid every few years, you need to change all the brake lines every few years. Most take out cups have better straws than what Chrysler uses for brake lines. My friend blew out the brake lines in his 2005 Caravan due to rust after only 13 years.

 

While taking a short break, I drove to the store. The traffic was very heavy, I could not move for a while but finally found a break. I quickly squeezed through the break just as someone else did and so I braked very hard. But after a short brake it seems my brakes broke. It is hard to stop when your brakes break and unfortunately, I'm too broke to fix my broken brakes. It seems I just can't catch a break when it comes to brakes, breaks, or breaks. I keep thinking if I had not taken a break, or not taken the break, I might not have broken brakes.

 

I guess not all Chrysler/Mopar parts are the same. My 1999 Ram (built in September 1998 so now more than 22 years old with just over 71,000 miles) still has its original brake lines. In fact, it has required the least attention of any vehicle I have ever owned and I have been driving for more than 51 years....

 

Exactly how I feel

 

Oh my head hurts! There are service items (transmission fluid) that owners complain that it should be freshened up sooner and items (spark plugs) that should be replaced later.

Its your vehicle, do what you want. The manufacturer simply recommends how best to keep your vehicles running in top form based on manufactures testing.

If any one chooses not to purge the brake fluid, they are not the first ones ... there are folks who never changed their engine oil and have been raking up miles with no issues.

Just Just curious what color is that brake fluid?

 

This isn't just a Chrysler issue, happens on other vehicles as well....
You forgot to include 1/4 midgets & karts...LOL
