| Description of the problem | Van loses brakes when applied over a pothole or other rough road. It travels for about 15 feet then stops (regardless of pumping the brake). It builds up after the van stops. This is very dangerous, obviously. Perhaps there should be a recall because many other people have reported this problem. This has happened twice in a month (9/16/2020 was the last time). Also, dealerships appear to guess when repairing the problem, costing consumers in the thousands of dollars. |
