“The brake light indication flashed while driving, and when the brakes were depressed, the vehicle experienced extended stopping distance.

NHTSA complaint #10027054, filed 2003-08, 140,000 miles“Fuel pump/ after driving up a hill I went to merge into a lane, my car stalled losing all power as a car nearly re -ended us I quickly started it again to immediatedly stall again. Tow truck came and it sits at the house until I get some answers. I also don't understand about the EGR valve recall I had replaced 4 times but it is not listed on the recall list (aka) silent recall. How many more are missing?”
NHTSA complaint #10065812, filed 2004-04“On occasion, brakes fails and engine revs when brakes are used at slow speeds. I thought there was a recall on this in august 1999, but I never received anything. It was on the news. There is no special time this occurs, nor is there any warning before it happens.”
NHTSA complaint #721941, filed 2000-04“The contact owns a 1994 Oldsmobile Bravada. Whenever the contact drives over a damp patch on the road and applies the brakes, the brake pedal extends all the way to the floor. As a result, the braking distance increased. The failure has occurred numerous times while driving 45 MPH. Through online research, the contact found recalls and TSB's on his vehicle for the same failure. The manufacturer stated that his VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 99i006000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock); therefore, nothing could be done. …”
NHTSA complaint #10246076, filed 2008-10, 110,000 miles“Consumer stated that when driving at high speeds there were brake problems. Dealer notified. The problem was with the ABS brakes sensors on the front wheels. As the dirt guard rusted, particles of the plate had fallen and ruined the speed sensor and caused false signals to the computer which locked the brake pedal.”
