Excessive wear of brake pads and rotors. Replacement appeared to be every 5000 to 10,000 miles, commencing at 40.000 miles. Vehicle in /out of dealer for repairs, but unable to correct the problem. Feel free to provide further details.
When applying brakes heard a tapping sound. Dealer did not now what the sound was. Later realized it was a cracked solenoid sensor ring. Dealer said that meant that ABS system could shut down.

Consumer must pay!! Help me!
Sudden oil consumption 1 qt per 1000mi. Very rapid brake and rotors wear at about 4500 mi.
R/f wheel sensor becomes inoperative when wet causing the ABS system to fail. Nlm
The ABS braking system malfunctioned, causing the ABS light to come on which indicates a problem with the braking system which causes extended stopping distance and may result in a crash. Please provide further information.
When ever applying the brakes vehicle failed to stop, resulting in extended stopping distance. Also, brake pedal went all the way to floor, and vehicle slid. Took vehicle to an independent mechanic & who informed consumer that problem wa the ABS braking system. Was nothing mechanical. Has not taken vehicle to dealer as of yet.
While testing driving vehicle before purchasing it consumer noticed it there was some problem with the brakes. But dealer ignored the situation. Subsequently, consumer rear ended anothe vehicle due to a brake problem.
Anti lock brakes failed resulting in accident. Mjs
Had to stop suddenly, slammed on brakes and brakes failed.consumer contacted dealer and manufacturer.
Third time in three years that brakes, rotors &nd/or drums needed to be replaced because of failure or uneven wear of rotors and drums.
When the brakes were applied on a wet surface the brakes locked up, resulting in extended stopping distance, causing a collision . The dealer has been notified.
When applying brakes brake pedal goes to the floor, and the vehicle does not stop. Brake pedal has to be pumped a couple of times in order to stop. Dealer can't duplicate problem.
Brakes fail to stop. It is an intermittent problem.
When brakes are applied there is extended stopping distance. Vehicle was checked by dealership at 5000. 10,000, and 15,000 miles for brakes, dealership said there was nothing unusual, it's just the way ABS works.
Rear brakes don't adjust. At 78,000 miles rear linings have only worn about 10%. Had same problem with identical 1995 lumina with 59,000 miles we owned in january 98. Both cars required high pedal effort. Dealer adjusted rear brakes and told us that parking brake must be used frequently to self adjust rear brakes. Car still requires higher pedal effort than other cars I have driven.
Three problems so far with cruise control, one failure of either voltage regualtor or alternator leaving owner stranded, switch on drivers side window replaced for window operation, brakes squeak and sometimes work properly
Shoulder belts work intermittently, sometimes do not stay, housing sometimes comes off. Dealer not aware of the problem. No warranty. Also, ABS brakes do not stop properly when pedal applied. In addition, integrated child seats are not able to function safely. Consumer concerns are with children. While travelling in vehicle doors open/close randomly, posing a safety hazard. Problems still exists. Provide further information.
Brakes repaired jun 98, brakes squeaked and made a rubbing sound. It was raining traffic was stopped started to proceed, then pressed brakes hard car continued to move it was raining speed at time no more than 3-4 MPH hit vehicle in front of me. Started driving again heard rubbing sound. Took to shop and found that the calipers had frozen and brakes were not working properly. Also mechanic stated that this is a problem on this type of vehicle. Want manufacturer to pay for repairs and reimburse for brake repairs
1- every time the weather is wet and cold, all 4 doors freeze shut. This is due to the design of the body. The doors allow water to collect all around the top and vertical sides and the water freezes...locking me out of the car. Neither the dealer nor mfg have a solution. 2- brakes: every time the weather is wet, or even with high humidity the brakes squeal and grab which initiates the ABS system which in turn brings the car to a "jerky motion" stopping situation. Neither the dealer nor the mfg have a solution....and even more frustrating to me...neither the dealer nor the mfg seem to "give a [xxx]".

When appyling brakes the pedal travels to floor, causing extended stopping distance. Cause unknown. *ak the consumer stated that brakes failed causing an accident in which 5 people were injured.
1. Battery failed to turn engine over 3 differnt times in one day. Turn the key and it just clicks. Towed it to a dealer. The dealer says the battery failed load test. Relaced battery. 2. A rubbing noise is heard from the rear when turning. Dealer found rear stabilizer bushing on rr strut out of position. Rr stabilizer shaft to position properly. 3. Power door locks do not unlock with the remote. Dealer replaced right and left actuator bumpers. Came out of actuators. 4. Brake squeal noise up front. Dealer inspects front brakes and concludes approx. 3-5k left on front brakes. Mileage at this point is only 16345.
Vehicle hit head-on. Air bags did not deploy. Side window shattered. Vehicle towed. After repairs, vehicle pulls to right/transmission does not work properly/ door locks go up & down when driving and braking is very hard.
Steering column makes noise.
When brakes are applied hard, driver's door would slide forward off track. Fender would impede its progress. Passenger's door fails to open. Brakes: brake pads worn down. Front end misalignment, causing vehicle vehicle to pull hard to right/tires to wear out. Will be taking vehicle to dealer.
Front disc brakes wearing unevenly prematurely.
Upon stopping at very low speeds the brakes made a horrible, defeaning squeal.
While driving on highway at approximately 35-40 MPH the caliper fell off consumer's brakes,and the automobile completely locked up.
Brakes experience extended stopping distances and vibration due to rust on the rotors.
