Pontiac Grand Am Service Brakes, Hydraulic Foundation Components Disc Rotor Safety Report | Mar 15, 1997
Reported on Mar 15, 1997
PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER USED CAR WARRANTY EXPIRED. ROTORS LOOK AS THOUGH THEY WERE DIPPED IN ACID, ALL RUSTY AND FLAKING. BRAKING WAS AS THOUGH STOPPING ON RIBBED PAVEMENT. PURCHASED CAR USED AT A DEALER IN WINSTON-SALEM NC. IT WAS A TRADE IN FROM A DRIVER FROM NY. THE DEALER GAVE NO ADMISSION OF SEEING THE PROBLEM, AND WAS NO HELP. EFFORTS TO CONTACT GM WENT UNANSWERED. WE HAVE REPLACED PADS 3 TIMES AND ROTORS ONCE. ROTORS NOW LOOK JUST LIKE THEY DID 4 YEARS AGO, AND PERFORMANCE IS LIKE STOPPING ON RIBBED PAVEMENT AGAIN. NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL OF DEFECTIVE ROTORS OR SUCH. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO GO FAR WITH THEM IN THIS CONDITION. WE CAN'T AFFORD RIGHT NOW TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER ROTOR/ BRAKE REPLACEMENT AGAIN. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.*AK | |
