SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY CAR HAS BEEN THE MAJOR PROBLEM SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. TWO WEEKS 94 AFTER PURCHASE, APR 94, THE BRAKES LOCKED AND CAUGHT FIRE. TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT THEY FAILED AND I WENT THRU AN INTERSECTION AND COLLIDED WITH A CAR. CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SENT A REP AND THE STATED THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD FOUR BRAKE SYSTEMS ON MY CAR WITH A COMPLETE OVERHAUL DUE TO FAILURE AT A COST OF $800. I DRIVE HIGHWAY MILES AND NOT CITY DRIVING. THE LAST CAR, A CHEVY BERETTA HAD $50,000 BEFORE I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND UNDER THE SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS.
