Pontiac Grand Am Service Brakes, Air Disc Rotor Safety Report | Sept 15, 2004
Reported on Sept 15, 2004
| I AM EXPERIENCING REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE ROTORS. WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ABOVE 50 MPH), IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE CAR, INCLUDING THE TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL, VIBRATES/SHAKES BACK AND FORTH. SOMETIMES IT SHAKES SO MUCH THAT IT FEELS LIKE CONTROL OF THE CAR IS COMPROMISED. SEVERAL AUTO MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WEAR OUT. THE BRAKE ROTORS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED TWICE (THE FIRST TIME BY A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP), AND NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE REPLACED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. | |
