This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Emergency brake intermittently disengages. The van almost ran me over when the brake disengaged while I was winching the boat on the trailer, very dangerous design!!!
Each time the emergency brake is applied, it releases on its own. The brake was rarely used, and therefore it doesn't seem like it should be defective.
The right rear park brake does not engage. Problem found 8 Jan 99. Suspect loose or damaged park brake assy within the brake drum. Assy makes noise when applying tension on the parking brake cable. Left rear park brake functions properly. Normal brake operation (brake pedal) tested good, equal force on left and right brakes. Problem isolated to the right rear park brake assy.
