When applying brakes during an emergency stop ABS releases too much, and will not stop vehicle. Also, when accelerating from a stop brakes tend to stay locked for a short period of time, then release. Van has been taken to dealership twice for this problem. Dealership has not been successful in fixing the problem. Please list other vehicle identification numbers.
