Consumer Description

VAN EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE BRAKE FAILURES BACK TO BACK. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FRONT BRAKES WOULD SMOKE DUE TO BRAKE PADS MELTING. THE NEXT BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VAN IMMEDIATELY WHEN PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL. THIS RESULTED IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VAN, BUT FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. HOWEVER, BRAKE PROBLEM RECURRED FIVE MONTHS AFTERWARDS, AND ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE.*AK
