2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/13/2012

I parked my van on my sloped driveway, setting the emergency brake. As I was getting out, the van started rolling backward. As I was trying to stop it, I tripped and my left leg was run over by the front left tire. I had an open fracture of my fibula and crush injuries on my shin area (and multiple bruises and pulled muscles elsewhere). I realized later that the van was still in "drive". I had been able to get my keys out without putting it in "park". [I have tested it since then and I still can remove my keys while the van is in "drive" or "neutral"] on testing the emergency brake, I found that it would not hold unless it was pushed all the way to the maximum position. Even though it sounded and "felt" engaged, it did not hold.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2009

Yellow srs warning light come on when driving on a rough road. This tells me that air bag system is not working properly. It may not deploy in an accident. This issue started since 2009. Second issue is that front brakes vibrate so much. I had full brake service and resurface disc but it only stop this problem for couple thousand miles then vibration comes back when braking. High speed braking cause even more vibration.
