My spouse was driving our family south on Hwy 101 at about 50 mph near Arch Cape, Oregon on June 25, 2022 during 93 degree weather. Just before Falcon Cove state park as we were going up a hill and people were braking to turn into the park, my spouse yelled "we have no brakes". The brakes were hard as a wall and he was using both feet to get us to slow down. I could not feel us slowing. It was utterly terrifying. He did finally get us slowed down likely due to the weight we were carrying and the hill. But the brakes were so terrible we couldn't…

WE OWN BOTH A 1998 AND 2000 EXPRESS VAN AND WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BOTH OF THEM WITH REGARDS TO THE SIDE PASSENGER DOORS (THE 'DOUBLE' DOORS). WE HAVE HAD A DEALER DRILL HOLES IN THE HINGES TO LUBRICATE THEM AS THEY SEIZE UP AND BECOME VERY HARD TO OPEN AND CLOSE. THIS IS JUST A TEMPORARY AND EVENTUALLY AN INEFFECTIVE FIX. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS WE HAVE 6 CHILDREN OF WHICH 3 HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT AND IF THERE WERE TO BE AN EMERGENCY WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET THE LEFT DOOR OPEN TO GET THE KIDS OUT FASTER. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE SWING DOORS ARE VERY HARD TO OPEN AND SHUT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SWING DOORS ARE IN THE INITIAL STAGE OF THIS. THE PASSENGER SWING DOOR THAT IS FIRST TO OPEN (RIGHT) DOES NOT WANT TO OPEN AND DOESN'T WANT TO SHUT. I HAVE TO FORCE IT. THE SECOND DOOR (LEFT) IS GETTING WORSE AS WELL. THIS IS CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHT PIN IN THE DOOR JAM TO NOT PUSH IN ALL THE WAY, THEREFORE; THE LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF.
