When trying to apply brakes brake pedal will go to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Dealer notified.
The entire braking system is insufficient for a vehicle of this weight. These Mini vans simply will not stop unless braking components are new and cool. After nominal low speed city driving, the braking system suffers severe fading. I seriously doubt if the system, when warm, has enough muscle to lock the tires if the antilock system were to be temporarily disabled or disconnected. Nhtsa engineers: test these brakes warm with the antilock defeated. They are not strong enough to lock the tires! the manufacturer has "hidden" and anemic braking system with the antilock.
Anti-lock brake pulsated violently. There was a service bulletin for this condition, however, dealership claimed too many miles on vehicle to perform repairs.
Extended distance when braking for stoplight. First time left vehicle in the intersection(8/15/01). Second time brakes made a chatter noise and pulled to the left, was able to stop after stepping on brakes three times. Dealer unable to identify a problem after first inspection.
While pulling out of driveway brake system locked up and prevented movement of vehicle. Consumer then shut vehicle off, and turned it back on, which allowed brakes to release and vehicle to move. Dealership has not examined vehicle. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Traveling 25 mph-brakes made loud chatter. . . Pedal stiff, stopped 2 car lengths past stop sign. Dealer can not duplicate, so says "nothing is wrong. ".
While driving could step on the brakes pedal to stop and brakes will start making noise, and will skip. Rotors had to be fixed four times.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Consumer was traveling about 35mph on highway and went to apply brakes and there was a loud streaking noise. He took vehicle to the dealership. Mechanic told him that brakes and rotors were bad. Dealership replaced the brakes. The customer states that recall on rotors and brakes is over due because the problem had existed and the manufacturer is aware of it since 1996.
On 3 occasions at low speeds and taking off from a stop brakes did not respond and failed. Dealer has inspected vehicle 3 times, but could not determine cause. Please provide further information.
