1992 Oldsmobile Bravada Brakes Problems

“Three separate incidents of total brake failure. One resulted in failure to yield at a stop sign. Rolled into cross traffic. Gm dealer refuses to repair even at owner's expense because it is not on the recall list. I requested a repair that was done to other vehicles under recall in which the software is calibrated for proper wheel speed feedback. I will try another dealer”

“While the NHTSA internet questionnaire restricts the manner in which incidents can be reported, I have experienced many problems related to the anti-lock brake system on my '92 Bravada. I have brought these to the attention of my dealer on several work orders, but have consistently been informed that my brakes function normally. …”

“Ea94038, ABS brake system; when applying the brakes the van does not stop very quickly. This is more of a problem when traveling at low speed. This happens on any type of road surface. Abs warning light has been on since novemer of 96. The van has been diagnosed by the dealership. The ebc4 unit needs to be replaced. The unit has not been replaced at this time. Please provide any further information.”

“Consumer was driving approximately 40 MPH when he pressed on brakes to stop and the ABS did not engage. Also the brake pedal went further to the floor than normal. During a low speed braking situation at 25 MPH the vehicle would not stop at a distance less than 2 1/2 vehicle distances.”
