Consumer Description

I HAVE A PREVIOUS REPORT ON THIS VEHICLE BACK IN APRIL OF 2000. THIS VAN WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND I WENT INTO A HOUSE. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, WHICH I NEVER COULD BELIEVE. EVER SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE BRAKES NEVER FELT THE SAME. I HAVE RETURNED THIS VAN TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TRANSPORT MY DAUGHTER IN THIS WHO IS IN A WHEEL CHAIR. TWO WEEKS AGO I BROUGHT THIS VAN IN AGAIN TO BE SERVICED AND THEY SAID SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSOR, CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT BUT MY V AN AGAIN DID NOT STOP ON MY 1ST ATTEMPT OF APPLYING MY BRAKE. THE ANTI-LOCKE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN LIGHT IS ON THE BRAKES WORK O.K., WHEN LIGHT IS OFF THE BRAKES MALFUNCTION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE FOR MYSELF BUT MOST OF ALL MY FAMILY. IT IS IN THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AGAIN 4/15/01. *AK
