What owners wrote
I attempted to stop behind a car making a turn. As I depressed the brakes there was no response, the pedal went to the floor. After I purchased the van I had taken the van to the dealer about the brakes were not right, but I was told that was the ABS brakes were like that. Later I took it again in the winter when I checked the brakes on snow. The brakes were making a grinding sound--again the dealer said that's normal. I am not driving it now because I feel it is unsafe.
Dt: problem with brakes and bearings last year the brakes starting pulsating and had to be replaced because of rusting and pitting. This year the bearings went out and had to be replaced. This vehicle has 34,000 original miles.
