AFTER HAVING COMPLETE BRAKE SERVICE BY INDEPENDENT CAR REPAIR SHOP, THEN CONTINUING TO EXPERIENCE POOR BRAKING, TOOK TO DEALER LISTED. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED "NO PROBLEM" AND TECH DROVE AND SAID BRAKES WERE FINE. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE POOR BRAKING TO POINT THAT PEDAL IN DEPRESSED TO STOP YET VAN KEEPS ROLLING(AND ABS DOES NOT ACTIVATE). WORSE WHEN VAN IS LOADED OR PULLING THE BOAT. FRIGHTENING TO NOT BE ABLE TO QUICKLY STOP AS WAS THE CASE PREVIOUSLY AND CERTAINLY NOT LIKE ANY OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES. THERE HAS BEEN AN ABS RECALL ON OUR MODEL AND I SUSPECT SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THE DEALER EVIDENTLY DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DETECT IT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ANOTHER EVALUATION FROM SOMEONE WITH MORE EXPERTISE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.
