| Antilock brakes fail when coming to a complete stop. the antilock system starts to function and then at about 2 mph the pedal goes down completely to the floor. you could only regain braking ability if you took your foot off the brakes while the abs system reset itself. i took the vehicle to the dealer for repairs and the left front hub bearing assembly (part cost $864) was replaced. the dealer's service invoice indicated a test drive found the left front abs sensor dropping out and tested circuit sensor open. the service advisor said that the speed sensor was an integral part of the front hub bearing assembly. the dealer service invoice no. is gccs56017. i have the hub at my home address.*ak | |||

| When starting up from park, the engine roars and looses power, sometimes only for a short distance but sometimes 500 to 600 feet. also after starting up from a stopped position, the rear of the van gives off a very loud thud and van lurches at the same time as if someone rearended the vehicle. sometimes, the van after being just started (still in park and not touching the brake or anything other than starting the engine) and sitting for a short while, the van will have a loud thud from the rear of the van and you can also feel movement at the same time. *ak | |||
