While driving brake pedal went to the floor and brakes failed without warning. After car was towed to a body shop, shop personnel said brakes were working fine. Insurance company sent appraiser to check car and he said the brakes "failed a couple more times" while he was trying them. Towed car to buick dealer. Dealer inspected brakes and said nothing was wrong with them. We traded car in to the dealer.
1995 Buick Regal brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 41, newest first, as owners wrote them.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Brake rotors prematurley wear out , consumer has already replaced 4 sets of rotors, twice in front and twice in rear. Please provide further information.
The rear rotors were rusted and crakced, the calipers were froze open, this was causing all of the braking to be made with the front brakes only.
In august of 1996 I purchased a 1995 buick regal, 4 door, sedan. Vin # [xxx]. No safety defect listed. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Many times in the last few months, when traveling extremely slowly, eg. Coming to a stop sign, backing out of driveway, etc., I hear and feel a heavy rattle (as though metal has released a linkage) and I can feel something release thru my break peddle. It only takes a few seconds. This happens many times each day and is happening more frequently lately. I've had it checked several times by mechanics and they can't find the problem. I'm very concerned that my breaks could fail and I have already received a preliminary recall notice on my airbags, which I haven't received the information yet on the repairs, which adds an additional concern to possible brake failure. I'm a divorced mom, with two kids at home and haul other children often. This is my only vehicle. Please let me know if there is a know cause for this problem. Thank you.
Front and rear brake rotors are rusting out due to cheap material used for the brake system, causing premature replacement of the brake pads. Consumer has contacted dealer.
The steering wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn. Owner has to turn the vehicle off and start it back up again when this occurs. Dealer changed serpentine belt and brake pads. Problem still exists.
The rear brake rotors and pads have been replaced 3 times; twice under warranty, once outside of warranty. At 75,000 miles, the car is in need of its fourth set of rear pads and rotors. Special care has been taken to make sure proper lugnut torque has been adhered to. Owner has always checked torgue after wheel removal and set to manufacturer's spec of 100 ft/lb. This includes wheel removal by gm dealerships and tire repair shops, etc. I would like to resolve this problem for once and for all. It is the only black eye for the car. I would try high performance pads and rotors if I knew where to start.
When applying the brakes pedal went to the floor and the vehicle did not stop. Driver experienced a complete brake loss, went through a red light, and was broadsided by another vehicle. Dealer has vehicle now.
Defective front brake rotors failed prematurely. Nlm
Dealer has been sympathetic towards problem/buick states the premature wear of rear disc pads and rotors are because I live in an area where there is road salt and sand.I don't think that this is the problem. Buick is advising the dealers that we have to apply the parking brake once a week to adjust the rear calipers, this was done and the problem continues. On 7-23-99 I had the car to the dealer for the third time with this problem. This is the fourth set of disc pads and rotors on this car I have talked to other owners of these cars and they have had the same problem. Other cars that are having this problrm are hev. Lumina, pontiac gran prix, olds cutlass. For the production year 1994-1995. Again g.m> and buick are stating this is not a problem. When the rotors warp the whole car shakes when applying brakes. The rear calipers do not work properly, therefore the rear brake pads do not touch the rear rotors until hard braking, and the rotors collect dirt and dust when they do not work, and when hard braking is done the calipers finally work, but when they hit the rotors the pads heat up the dirty rotors, thus they heat up and warp. I hope I made some kind of sense in this comment, it can be hard to explain. Hankyou for this matter.
