Had vehicle in a gm repair shop on three different occasions while under warranty. This is a intermittent problem dealer could no find anything wrong, because it is intermittent problem. That problem is brake pedal goes to floor. (brake fluid is full ) this seam to happen after veh. Has set overnight, or driving at hiway speed on a long trip. Finally involved in a rear end collision as listed above. Fortunatly no one hurt this time.this has happened to my self, my wife and my sixtteen year old son. This there is something wrong and nobody seems to care or really look into this untill some is killed. I have checked @ askjeeves ? Found 1 accurance of 1996 chev beretta brake failure .w/one injury. So I know that is out there. Your help much appreciated. Thank you.
Vehicle experiences extended stopping distances due to faulty ABS braking system, while consumer was backing out of driveway brakes gave out causing consumer to side swipe an electrical power box across the street. Nlm
Brakes failed 3 times without warning. The first time mechanic replaced master cylinder that he says was leaking. The next day brakes failed again & computer box next to master cylinder was replaced. Brakes worked for one month & without warning, went down to floor again. Computer has to be replaced again & we are in fear of driving it since there is no warning when brakes fail.
Consumer was driving between 50-60 MPH and applied the brakes to slowdown. Brakes failed, and vehicle hit car in front. This LED to a chain reaction, three other cars were hit. There were no injuries.
When the brakes are applied pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has been notified.
Braking system malfunctioned, causing no braking ability. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor, causing a rear end collision. Please provide further information.
Abs brakes knocked, pulsates and locked up on several occasion, dealer replaced several brake components but brakes failed resulting in accident.
The braking on the car works when it wants. You apply the brakes and you have a full brake pedal then the next thing you know the pedal goes to the floor almost all the way, as if you were applying manual brakes. It doesn't matter how fast you go . I have been backing out of my garage and the brakes fail, and I can be going down the highway and they fail. I have had my car at the dealership numerous times for brake work and I get the same responce each time(we can't find anything wrong), now finally on the fifth time the put the car on some kind of computer and they told me that my ABS modulator was bad. I have been told by the dealership that this is a ongoing problem with berretta & corsica. Please contact me with any further information regarding my problem........... Thank you !!!!
