What owners wrote
Exiting freeway ramp, made a sharp right turn, alerted by vehicle passing by that my rear brakes were visibly on fire. Pulled over exited the vehicle where rear brakes where still smoking. Car towed to service station where the vehicle was deemed non-drivable due to the complete searing of the rear brake pads, calipers, rotors, and rear tires. This was an extremely frightening experience as I thought that the town and country was labeled as one of the safest mini vans.
