Pontiac Grand Am Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Dec 01, 2006
Reported on Dec 01, 2006
| DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED ON FOUR OCCASIONS. ON EACH OCCASION, THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND A SHRIEKING NOISE COULD BE HEARD LIKE METAL RUBBING ON METAL. THE CONDITION WAS PERMANENT, REPEATABLE TO WORSENING UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO BOTH DETERMINED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT THIS WAS AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM FOR A NEW VEHICLE TO HAVE EXTREME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME COMPONENT. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS MADE. UPDATED 12/28/2006 - *NM | |
