THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW BY MY MOTHER. THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES SINCE 1993. SHE CONTACTED WROTE TO THE MANUFACTUER BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. FRONT LEFT BRAKE HAS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 2 TO 3 MONTHS OR MORE OFTEN.

WHILE LEAVING INTERSTATE 40 TO OFFRAMP, I BEGAN TO BRAKE NORMALLY. AT THIS INSTANT I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION AND WENT INTO TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION. UPON MY INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE BOLTS THAT SECURE THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE FIREWALL HAD BROKEN OFF. *AK

BRAKES--NOISY, VAN VIBRATED WHEN APPLIED.

THE MILEAGE I HAVE IS NOT SO GREAT THAT A MASTER CYLINDER SHOULD NEED REPLACMENT ON A 1993 VEHICLE. IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON 1993 VILLAGERS, BUT NOT ON MY VIN ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, YET I HAVE A MASTER CYLINDER DEFECT. MAYBE MY VIN SHOULD BE IN THE RECALL. *AK

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT FAILURE WHICH CAUSED THE WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AS VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 10 MPH, APPROACHED RED LIGHT AT INTERSECTION. DRIVER COULD FEEL PRESSURE IN BRAKE PEDAL, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN DESPITE FULL FORCE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL BY THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE ENTERED THE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, AND WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, LEAVING BOTH VEHICLES UNDRIVABLE. THE DRIVER OF THE VILLAGER SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY, AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, DRIVER HAD NOTICED THE VILLAGER'S ABS OPERATION WAS INTERMITTANTLY VERY ROUGH, AND TENDED TO INTERRUPT FOR ABNORMALLY LONG INTERVALS DRIVER'S EFFORTS TO BRAKE. WHEN THOSE BRAKING PROBLEMS WERE REPORTED TO THE DEALER, DEALER RESPONDED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THE VILLAGER, AND THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNLESS THE "ABS WARNING LIGHT" ON THE DASH CAME ON AND STAYED ON. LESS THAN TWO MONTHS (AND ABOUT 2000 MILES) PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER HAD BRAKE PADS AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (BUT NOT THE ABS CONTROLS) CHECKED BY A LOCAL BRAKE REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP DECLARED THE SYSTEM TO BE IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION AT THAT TIME. *AK
