Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 117, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Ever since day one of vehicle ownership electric booster brake system has operated erratically. Around 50,000 miles dealership replaced entire ABS brake system when the warning light came on and stayed on. Recently, around february, an unknown component in this system ruptured, and caused all brake fluid in system to leak onto ground. Dealership was aware of problem, but did not inform consumer of the cause of the defect. *ak
Consumer has experienced several problems with this vehicle, brakes have been replaced 5 times, most recently the consumer was driving and noticed smoke coming from the left front wheel, calipers had been sticking and binding. Ecm failed and was replaced. Heater pipe was leaking and was replaced. Windshield washer didn't work right. Left and right lens covers replaced due to water entering them. Power door lock failed and was replaced. Left side mirror was replaced. Oil sensor was replaced. Left window motor failed and was replaced. Right front lamp replaced.
While driving in snow applied brakes, but vehicle did not stop due to loss of steering.
Brake calipers went, causing brake fluid leakage, resulting in loss of brakes.
Abs light continues too glow after complete brake service new pads,complete brake fluid flush, dealer barret bros. In lufkin texas says I need too replace ABS unit. I disagree, I think this should be addressed by the manufacturer.
Was driving 5mph, applied brakes, and vehicle failed to stop. Abs would not kick in. Took to dealer & was informed that ABS system was gone & needed an entire new system.
Emergency brake cable and brake line are positioned too close together which caused a hole to rub through the brake line, resulting in complete brake failure. Please give any further details.
Emergency brake cable and brake line are positioned too close together, causing them to continously rubbing together, resulting in brake failure.
Brakes in the rear are corroded. Rotors in the rear are not working at all. Brakes would make noises when applied, like metal to metal. Also, they would lock up in an open or closed position. Over 2 1/2 years ago, the entire brake system was overhauled.
The car was taken in for service and we were told that the problem was due to the engine bolts were not secure. While browsing the net I found that the 91 buick regal was being recalled because of this and I want to know what steps need to be taken in order to correct this problem. The car was taken to pep boys for tires when I was informed of a need for the the rear brake assembly (drums, rotors, calipers, etc.) to be repaired and I found that buick was having a problem with these parts as well as the suspension. I also found that chevy was having a similar problem with the lumina. At this point I am just trying to find a way to get in contact with buick to get some of these issues resolved. Thanks in advance, erica jones.
When consumer applies brakes brake pedal almost goes to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer had brake job done. *ak
Rear brakes failed causing accident. Nlm
When applying the brakes, there was hardly any brake pedal. Pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle would not stop. There was no braking ability. Driver was able to pull to the shoulder of the road, vehicle slowed down and stopped. After standing about 20 mintues,the brake pedal came back up. Consumer experienced the same problem last year. The vehicle was checked by the dealership. Dealer found that the problem was caused by the emergency brake not being fully released. Also, rear disc brakes were replaced.
When driving under 40 MPH and applying the brakes, they go straight to the floorboard, and consumer has to pump the brakes to get vehicle to slow down. Also, brake pads/rotors and the master cylinder have been replaced. Delaer can't determine the cause of the problem.
Brakes failed on multiple occasions. Brought to local dealer for repair (jack schlein) car was purchased at slivka buick in michigan. Must apply firm pressure to sotp. Pedal changes height. System investigated by buick twice. Master cylinder and rear calipers replaced. Problem persists.
I have had my front brakes replaced 3 times and rear 2 times. The cause is the rear caliper freezing up.
Anti lock pump and accumulator failed.
The reason is that the brakes rust, the calipers seize, and the rear brakes no longer work. So not only do you have to replace the rear brakes but usually the front brakes are also worn out by the time you notice, because of the increased load on them.
Braking system wearing out within 25,000-30,000 mile of wear. Rotors and pads have to be replaced. Dealer notified, and cost always goes to consumer.
Brake failure twice. Qcaw
When attempting to make a gradual stop, consumer noticed the brake lights illuminated on the dash, pedal became very hard, and there was no response from the brakes. Consumer, therefore, had to apply great amount of force to the pedal to stop the vehicle. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
Rusted calipers on rear disc brakes. Premature failure due to worn rotors and brake pads because of caliper problem.
Abs brakes; when applying brakes in any condition, the ABS brake light comes on, and pedal goes to the floor, causing an extended stopping.
Anti lock brakes do not function properly.
Abs open accumulator & pressure switch failed. Mjs
The ABS light comes on intermittently, and when the ABS light comes on there are no ABS brakes. The vehicle has been in shops a number of times, and the problem is still occurring.
Brake rotors failed, causing pedal to go to the floor.
Calipers/rotors overheated, causing the brake fluid to turn to gas which, in turn, caused the brakes to fail.
Driving at different speeds brakes felt very soft did not stop vehicle. Consumer then had to pump emergency brake in order to gain control. Dealer said this is a normal conditon,cannot find problem.
