2000 CHEVROLET ASTRO — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

I ATTEMPTED TO STOP BEHIND A CAR MAKING A TURN. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER I PURCHASED THE VAN I HAD TAKEN THE VAN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE BRAKES WERE NOT RIGHT, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE ABS BRAKES WERE LIKE THAT. LATER I TOOK IT AGAIN IN THE WINTER WHEN I CHECKED THE BRAKES ON SNOW. THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A GRINDING SOUND--AGAIN THE DEALER SAID THAT'S NORMAL. I AM NOT DRIVING IT NOW BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO GM ALLEGATION DEPARTMENT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM ABOUT AIR BAGS THAT DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS ACCIDENT WITH THE VAN INVOLVED TWO OTHER CARS AND INJURIES TO TWO PEOPLE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL 2000 ASTRO VANS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS SUBMITTED TO YOUR WEB PAGE. THEY TOO ARE AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VANS. WE NEED HELP.;*AK
