What owners wrote
Consumer was driving down a flat highway and the steering locked up, applied the ABS brakes and the brakes wouldn't move, resulting in an accident/injuries, also excessive gas consumption.
Height sensor valve, rear left brake (the actual date of the incident was january 5, 2003, however, the incident date segment did not provide the year 2003. Also, the number of failures section...once failure occurred, it continued) went to mechanic to find problem. There was another 1996 van there with the exact same problem (quite coincidental, which prompted this complaint).
