Pontiac Grand Prix Service Brakes, Air Antilock Safety Report | Oct 07, 2004
Reported on Oct 07, 2004
| MY ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A SUNNY DRY DAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DOING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME HAD HIT A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED FOR THE LIGHT. I WAS THE FOURTH CAR BACK AND HAD HEARD THE CRASH. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY GRABBED AND THEN PROCEEDED TO JUST CONTINUE TO GO AND BASICALLY MY CAR HIT THE BACK OF A TRUCK CAUSING ABOUT $10,000 IN DAMAGE AND SENDING ME TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAD ENOUGH ROOM BEHIND THAT VEHICLE TO STOP. IT WAS LIKE THE PEDAL JUST WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I AM ALSO CONCERNED BECAUSE THE AIR BAG ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY. GM TOLD ME THAT IT'S BECAUSE THE BUMPERS DID NOT MEET WITH EACH OTHER. MORE LIES IF YOU ASK ME. I THINK THEY NEED TO HAVE THESE VEHICLES CHECKED BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GET HURT BAD. THIS HAS COST ME MUCH GRIEF, LOSS OF WORK AND OUT OF POCKET MONEY.*AK | |
