I have owned at least one of every generation Dodge Caravan, presently own a 2005 and a 2013. Have no idea how many total miles I have put on these things, my 94 had 260,000 on the clock when I sold it. The T&C is really a Caravan with fancier trim and would say I know a little about these vehicles.
Up until 2013 (and a few 2012's) the 2008 to 2016's had under size brakes. Chrysler made a bad decision and didn't fix the problem till sometime in 2012 when they started installing larger rotors, heavier duty calipers and 17 inch wheels. If you are shopping for a newer Caravan or T&C make sure you buy one with 17 inch wheels.
The Y tube issue is also a known problem. Some have simply replaced it with a copper T fitting from your local plumbing supplier. I believe there is a guy on eBay selling an aluminum replacement as some believe using a copper/brass fitting will create dissimilar metals issues in the cooling system.
Found it.. This is a kit that replaces the plastic Y tube and solves the problem forever. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALUMINUM-metal-Y-for-Chrysler-Town-Country-Dodge-Caravan-VW-Heater-Hose-/291841874299
All vehicles have unique issues but needless to say I am a big fan of the Caravan, I think they are the best value on the market for a multipurpose vehicle. I can haul 7 people in my 2013 then turn around, fold the seats into the floor and haul a full 4 X 8 foot sheet of plywood.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
