I have a 1990 chevy van that is used to haul my daughter in a wheelchair. I recently had the back brakes done and now the front brakes don't work. They have bled the system and checked numerous things on it, when it is up on the lift the brakes work but on the ground they don't. The dealership called the company and noone seems to understand what is wrong. The acuator is working but I was wondering if it should be replaced. Any ideas on what may be wrong?

My wife is disabled and has to use a wheelchair.
I have seen so many people assisting disabled people in wheelchairs in an unsafe manner that I offer some suggestions.
Most important: NEVER push a wheelchair forward over a bump (like a door sill). Always back a wheelchair over bumps because the big wheels go OVER bumps and the small wheels in front can catch on bumps and dump the person right out of the chair.
Always have the brakes on when the person is getting in or out of the chair or when the chair is resting on a grade.
If you choose not to use the footrests, make sure the patient has their feet raised enough to not get caught and dragged under the chair.
To me, this is just common sense, but I have seen so many people assisting the disabled in an unsafe manner and it makes me cringe when I see it.
unfortunally i am a recipent of a wheelchair i have illnesses that limit my walking due to pain and my husband pushes me in the store where ever we go, he is very careful when i get in the chair and get out and always looks around for distractions when we go down each aisle but i have seen ppl push others in wheelchairs and they are very careless even tho they are health proffesionals, i have seen ppl fall out of wheelchairs,fall on thier caretaker,. a 10 year old can probably take care of a disabled person better than most adults i see and yes its just common sense to look at the chair and check it out before letting someone who is disabled get in it

My wife says that it is cruel that he rolls to the tailgate when I accelerate, and then bumps against the cab when I hit the brakes. He seems to enjoy these outings. He won't fit in the cab with me, my friend and our ice chest. Am I wrong?
I actually don't doubt he enjoys these outings, and that this might be truthful. And a teenage desperate for acceptance just might go along with it, but an adult with any common sense would realize the peril you put him in.
Put the ice chest in the back. Transfer him out of the chair in the cab. Secure the wheelhair in the back.

My sister just got an electric wheelchair and whenever i come home to visit, she gets wasted and i drive it around. I was trying to take it up some rocks out back and it bottomed out and something snapped. I managed to still climb the hill in the wheelchair but it pulles to one side and the brakes dont work worth a crap now. are there any repair kits for them or should i just give it back and hope for the best? it still runs but not as fast as it was.
That's funny !!!!!!!!!!

Jerry Ford, a farmer living near St. Charles, has a goal: Put the brakes on falls caused by wheelchairs.
His house has been turned into a business, with sales and management offices in former bedrooms. The sound of pounding in the basement means Safe-T-Chair automatic brakes are being installed on wheelchairs. About 50 to 200 chairs can roll out of that basement in a day.
What kind of sales growth is the company targeting for 2009? 
“We’d like to quadruple this year’s sales,” Ford says. The business has sold 1,000 wheelchairs with one or more of the three specialty brake models on them thus far in 2008.
