Pontiac Solstice Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Control Unit/module Safety Report | Sept 30, 2007
Reported on Sept 30, 2007
| WE PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 67 MILES ON IT, WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS OF DRIVING THE CAR WE NOTICED IF IT SAT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE AT INITIAL START UP. *TR WE WOULD PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE AND OR DRIVE PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD,YOU COULD NOT PUSH IT DOWN TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AT ALL. WE HAVE HAD TO USE OUR EMERGENCY BRAKE NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER START UP TO ENSURE WHILE BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY THAT OUR CAR WOULD STOP. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES LETTING THEM KNOW THAT SOMETHING MAJOR IS WRONG WITH OUR BRAKING SYSTEM, THEY FINALLY ON DECEMBER 19TH REPLACED THE EBCM, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE, WE STILL HAVE NO BRAKES AT START UP. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED. BRAKES IN MY EYES ARE AN IMPORTANT FEATURE ON A CAR. GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. I AM ON A FORUM THAT HAS NUMEROUS 08'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. *TR | |
