I came to a stop sign. The brake pedal went to floor without any warning. I was able to steer to the shoulder without hitting the car ahead of me. The car finally rolled to a stop with the help of the emergency brake. The vehicle was in motion and on a dual lane highway.

The ABS light started coming on after driving for a few minutes then it would go off when the van was turned off. Now the ABS light comes on when I turn the van on & doesn't go off until I turn the key off.

Brake fluid all leaks out wear hole in brake fluid tube to rear brakes between frame and gas tank. Causing virtually no braking power. Drivers side near rear wheel. Would require 200.00+ to repair.
