SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NEW) I NOTICED A DRY SCRAPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. DEALER SAID IT WAS FROM SITTING ON THE LOT AND HAD COLLECTED DUST. AT APPROX 12000 MILES MY BRAKES STARTED TO CREAK WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT 35,800 MI THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME AND NOT NEAR A DEALER. DISTANCE FOR STOPPING HAS ALSO INCREASED. HAVE NOT NOTIFIED DEALER SEEING AS THOUGH MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I SHOULD ADD THAT 20,000 ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO. *AK

#762554June 2, 2002
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKES FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED AT APPRX. 9,000 MILES AND THE SECOND OCCURRED AT APPROX. 25,000 MILES. THE DEALER DID A COMPLETE OVERHAUL TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM AT 10,000 MILES HOWEVER WOULD NOT FIX THEM FREE OF CHARGE ON THE SECOND VISIT. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER DID NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. BEING A LOYAL GM CUSTOMER I EXPECTED A LOT MORE FROM THE DEALER AND GM, THEY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE SUBSTANDARD. THERE IS NO REASION THAT THE BRAKES SHOULD HAVE FAILED TWICE IN LESS THAN 25,000 MILES. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH GM AND BILL RAPP PONTIAC THIS TIME AROUND AND NEXT TIME I'M IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CAR, GM WILL BE OFF MY WISH LIST.*AK
