While driving,the driver noticed that the ABS brake, and the track off light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. The vehicle started shaking uncontrollably without warning. The driver was able to drive it to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic replaced the brakes pads,and rotor. The driver informed the mechanic this problem still occurred and has not been resolved. Please fill in additional information.
While driving at any speed brakes hummed whenever they were depressed. Also, three of the power windows were not working. Consumer found that the regulator system gears were defective.
Intermittently ABS traction stability warning light illuminated on the dashboard. When this occurred the cruise control mode was inoperative. Dealership performed a diagnostic test the failure code indicated, don't drive the vehicle and service immediately ABS stability control failure. Dealership serviced the vehicle 4 times, only temporary fixes had been done, problem still exists.
The brake rotors were replaced three times for excessive warping which caused vibrations and a soft brake pedal. Each time the pads were replaced the rotors had to be replaced. The engine belt cracked once and was glazed once, both failures caused noise. The steering wheel makes noise when turning, the dealer replaced the steering shaft. The right rear brake light bulb was blown. *mr
The serpentine belt was replaced twice due to erratic operation. The belt was making an awkward sound and both times the belt was about to break before the dealer inquiry. Mr per invoice, the squealing from the engine area-cracked, and drive belt noise-excessive wear-replaced. The consumer states that the brakes shimmey and the pedal is soft-rear rotor were found out of round, and refaced the front rotors. The pulsation in brakes were checked, and had been cut three times due to the front rotors-replaced.
The service stability system light comes on continuosly, the brakes and steering have locked up while I am driving on two occasions because of the stability system, I have had to have 3 front end alignments and the brakes replaced twice. I have taken the car into bassett pontiac in muncie, in. And in new castle in.. They tell me the problem is fixed and two to three weeks later the same problem is happening.
We have had numerous other problems with this car, including radio, foglamps, passenger window, rear seat belt latches,door rattles,stitching in leather seats coming apart,automatic temperature control,alignment,tires that cannot be balanced,steering sector bearing, tie rod end defective & rough braking. Dealer has fixed all problems, but the warranty is about to expire and now a rear seat belt latch has quit working. I have a national gm claim no. Which was obtained back in january 2002, c06145322. I have asked for an extension of the warranty due to all the problems encurred on this vehicle, but that has been denied. I would have to purchase an extended warranty for over $2,000. We should not have had so many problems with a brand new vehicle. Please respond either by email or letter. Larry neubauer
