While driving outside brake pad on the left rotor fell off. Vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who found the left rotor and inside pad were rusted. The mechanic installed anew left rotors and pads. Right pad and rotor was replaced. Mechanic stated the rust on the left pad and rotor was normal, consumer disagreed.

Rotors were turned due to bad vibration. Problem came back with a squeak. 11 months later, vehicle needed rotors. Problem can be remedied at consumer's expense.

When driving on normal pavement under normal conditions, when brakes are applied, they pulsate and lockup. This has caused consumer to almost be tossed through the windshield if not for the seat belts. Dealer has been contacted, and replaced rotors, once but the problem still occurs.

Intermittently while driving braking system will activate without the occupant's request, causing the van to feel like "pulling on a load". dealer replaced master cylinder. However, problem still occurring. Also, replaced the ABS braking system, and resurfaced the brake rotors. Presently, the brakes feel spongy, and cause extended stopping distance.
