I was driving down a hill and had to stop suddenly and it took my van about 6-8 feet to come to a complete stop. I had to apply pressure with both feet. I had to turn the wheel to the left to avoid rear-ending a truck. This is the second time that this has happened with this van while going down hill. The first time, in 2008, resulted in a rear-end collision. The first time it happened I did not realize that there was something wrong with my brakes. The second time, I had to turn my steering wheel again the same way to avoid an accident. It seems the brakes don't catch when going down a hill and need to come to a quick stop.
