Pontiac Grand Am Service Brakes, Hydraulic Foundation Components Disc Rotor Safety Report | May 30, 2001
Reported on May 30, 2001
| I HAVE HAD ROTOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I COULD FEEL THE GRINDING OF THE FRONT BRAKES BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST NEW AND NEEDED TO BREAK IN. WHAT IT DOES IS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO A STOP, ESPECIALLY FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I CAN HEAR THE GRINDING AND RATTLING OF THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WITH THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLING TO THE POINT IT IS HARD TO CONTROL. THE CAR IS PROGRESSIVLEY BECOMING WORSE AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS BECOMING MUCH LONGER AS I DRIVE IT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE FROM WHAT I KNOW FROM OTHERS WHO PURCHASED THE SAME CAR, THE DEALER SEEM TO WANT GRIND THE ROTOR DOWN WHICH DOES NOTHING. I BELIEVE IT IS LARGER PROBLEM THAN THAT AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL/EXAMINATION BEFORE SOEMBODY GET HURT.*AK | |
