1989 Buick Reatta Brakes Problems

“I have heard from several other Reatta owners that there is a problem with the ABS braking system. The braking system has failed without warning on several reattas, and I am afraid of this happening to my car while it is being driven. Because of the number of people affected, I believe this is worth an investigation.”

“Please advise if general motors has had other complaints on this matter ...I feel there should some type of refund reason being I did have one bolt back on the front bracket which in turn could have bodily injury to myself or someone else.”

“I have had constent problems with the brakes of my Reatta. The brakes totally failed without any notice. Replaced master cylinder ($1200) then the accumalater along with several trips to my mechanic because the brakes will still go to the floor if pressed hard or at a stop. If I didn't like the car so much I'd sell because the brakes are definitly not up to par. When I go the the Reatta club page it seems every one has similar problems. Pease try to make Buick fix this problem.”

“This has been an ongoing problem for many years on this car, the brakes do not function properly, , all components have been checked and many replaced at cost of thousands of dollars, and to this day the problems still exist, not one mechanic can figure out why. I know of several people that have experienced the same problems with these cars.”

“Repair:retired g.m. Mechanic tried for 1 month to diagnose and fix problem. He gave up! I took car to g. M. Buick dealer who reported bad accumulator but didn't perform correct procedure to diagnose problem.ABS accumulator replaced but did not solve problem!”
