1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brakes Problems

“When trying to stop at a stop sign or light the anti-lock brake system fails to respond, and vehicle rolls part way through the intersection. I crashed into the rear of a vehicle in front of me on another occasion. The system from time to time fails to give immediate sense of stopping..”

“I realize that at the time of filling out this questionairre that this model is no longer being made by GM but I did see I story about the Oldsmobile alero having the same problems and felt complelled to write. We have had to replace the brakes four times on this car. We bought the car new in 1995 and it now has 61,000 miles on it. The first two times that the brakes were done they were fixed under the warranty but we have had to replace them ourselves the past two times. The last time was a complete four wheel replacement with rotors and pads all the way around. …”

“Since purchase of new vehicle, ABS light comes on and occasional brake failure. During warranty period, each visit to dealer for check was unfounded (no written indication of checkup on receipt, from mechanic or dealership), upon end of warranty, the mechanic knew that the $800. Abs componant was making knocking noise and needs replacement. Occasional brake failure is still happening.”

“While under warranty brakes would making a grinding noise, and it would stick until pumping brakes. Then, low track and ABS lights would come on. Took to dealer, and they couldn't fine a problem till 1 month ago. Dealer stated it was ABS problem.”

“While driving 50 MPH and had enough time to stop vehicle, but braking system malfunctioned, causing no braking ability at all. Without any warning it resuled in a crash in which the vehicle was split in half horizontally. Common problem.”
