2001 Pontiac Grand Prix Brakes Problems

“I have had nothing but trouble with this pontic Grand Prix gt window motors three ABS brake brain leaking coolant I have spent over 3000 dollars repairing this car and now I have coolant leaking in my motor. By far the worst car I ever had shame on you GM you had to know.”

“Came up on a car stopped at stop sign. I applied my brake and felt the brake pedal give. I did not have brakes. No warning light appeared. I had to veer to left of stopped car, go around stop sign onto a highway. Very few cars on highway. Had to let car slow on it's own and was able to go two miles to stop. Brake fluid pouring out from underneath car. Possibly a rusted brake line. However there was no warning. Narrowly escaped bad wreck and possible deadly crash. Will have it towed to mechanic to determine cause of no brakes or warning.”

“On march 1, 2017, while driving down la vita pass, on hwy 160 east, in colorado, the roads were solid ice. I tried to break lightly, in a touch, release, method, but the sensor on the dash stated (no traction), and would lock the breaks, during the light applied pressure on the breaks, causing me to slide a bit. I hit a vehicle in front of me, (speed aprox. 35mph) causing me to spin into on coming traffic, going west bound. My vehicle was struck in the front, and back, my air bags never deployed. Wanting to report: break problem with my vehicle, and non-deployment of air bags. …”

“My front passenger side brake line burst suddenly under braking while exiting the highway at 70mph. It appears all other lines are rusty as well and could result in another failure. I love in minnesota so salt could contribute, but it was definitely corporate negligence. The agency failed to issue a recall for this in 2015 for GM trucks. I think this is a much larger issue for all w-body GM cars as well. I was fortunate enough that the exit ramp had a yeild turn onto the next road instead of a stop. This could have killed me and will kill people if nothing is done. …”

“Rear brake lights not working, but third center brake light is working. Took to mechanic (pep boys) who changed the brake pads, rotors, brake fluid and replaced the bulbs and fuses, (as well as a motor w/reg for the driver's side rear window, serpentine belt, alternator drive belt, tie rod outer and oil change). When I got the car back, realized they never fixed the problem. Returned the car and told it was the multifunction switch at a price of $450.00. This is great considering my bill for everything was $1,500.00, and the problem I brought it in for (brake lights) was never fixed. …”
