Pontiac G6 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Mar 19, 2009
Reported on Mar 19, 2009
| WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH. I TAPPED ON THE BRAKE AND TURNED THE WHEEL TO AVOID AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD. WHEN I RELEASED PRESSURE OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL THE WHEELS WERE ALL LOCKED AND THE BRAKES WERE STILL ENGAGED. I SLID OUT OF CONTROL AND WAS UNABLE TO GET THE BRAKES TO RELEASE PRESSURE OFF THE WHEELS. I FINALLY CAME TO STOP BY HITTING THE CONCRETE MEDIAN. IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BUSIER TIME OF DAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE DURING THIS INCIDENT. THERE WAS NO INDICATIONS LEADING UP TO WHAT HAPPENED. I AS MANY OTHERS ALSO HAVE THE LOUD CLUNKING NOISES IN THE FRONT, IT SOUNDS IF MY FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL OUT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT THIS POINT AS THE BRAKES STILL FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE PARTIALLY ENGAGED. GIVEN THE DATE OF OCCURRENCE I HAVE NOT AT THE CHANCE TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT EVALUATED, I WILL BE DOING THAT THIS WEEK. *TR | |
