Consumer Description

AFTER RUNNING/DRIVING MY VAN FOR ABOUT 10 MINS. THE "ABS" AND THE "BRAKE" LIGHTS SHOW UP ON MY DASHBOARD. MY BRAKES MAKE A SCREECHING NOISE WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE AND A GRINDING NOISE AS WELL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE I'M DRIVING MY VAN WITH THEM IN IT. PLEASE INFORM ME OF HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
