NHTSA complaint #10188161, filed 2007-04, 130,000 miles“At 60000 miles have had to have total brake system replaced ABS computer , brake power booster , master cylinder,a brake line . Also my 4 wheel drive transfer case has been bound-up for 9 months my vehicle wont even roll on an incline.”
NHTSA complaint #10204040, filed 2007-09, 59,000 miles“Vehicle had bad pulsation in brake pedal and whole vehicle vibrated when braking, dealer said front rotors were warped, replaced front rotors w/ 46,900 mi, still had small vibration and w/in 2 weeks pulsation started again and continued to get worse, took to another mechanic who said front rotors were warped again, back rotors are literally disintegrating. I have 132,000mi on my nissan and have never had warped rotors or had rotors replaced so I know it's not my driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10023338, filed 2003-06, 46,980 miles“Brake rotor failure after a little over 40,000 miles my brakes started pulsating and I had, at best, 60% of the normal braking power. Braking is so poor that ABS won't activate even with full braking action. I removed the pads and rotors only to find that the rotors were disintegrating. Apparently, on many models including the 2000 Bravada such as mine, GM is using a bi-metal rotor. After 30,000 miles of braking the heat will eventually cause separation of the two metals and flaking of the surface of the rotor along with abnormal rusting and pitting on the rotor surface. …”
NHTSA complaint #10041160, filed 2003-10, 40,000 miles“The contact owns a 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada. While driving approximately between 5-10 MPH, the contact approached a stop signal and the ABS began to engage suddenly. The contact was able to continue in operation with an increase in the stopping distance. When reaching the destination, the contact disabled the ABS fuse. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000. Updated 03/15/11 updated 03/21/11”
