Problem occurred after used car warranty expired. Rotors look as though they were dipped in acid, all rusty and flaking. Braking was as though stopping on ribbed pavement. Purchased car used at a dealer in winston-salem nc. It was a trade in from a driver from ny. The dealer gave no admission of seeing the problem, and was no help. Efforts to contact gm went unanswered. We have replaced pads 3 times and rotors once. Rotors now look just like they did 4 years ago, and performance is like stopping on ribbed pavement again. Need to know if there is a recall of defective rotors or such. My wife is afraid to go far with them in this condition. We can't afford right now to go through another rotor/ brake replacement again. Please help. Thank you.

I was driving apx. 25-30 MPH on slush covered roads. I saw the car ahead of me braking, so I started to apply steady pressure. I was apx 8-10 car lengths behind, but I started to slide. So applied more firm pressure, still nothing. So finally I realized my brakes were not do anything so I pushed them to the floor and slowly turned the wheel to the right, to go in the ditch. I continued to slide. My ABS did not work at all. Somehow my car slid left and I ended up in oncoming traffic where I got hit head on by two different cars, and got hit on the side a couple of times. My car was totaled, but luckily I was not hurt that bad.

Component #1 (brakes)-brakes wear out every three months regardless of driving conditions or driving habits, have had all components associated with brakes replaced and problem still occurs; component #2 (ignition) - almost every time I accelerate from a stop, the engine hesitates and shudders for approximately 3-5 seconds regardless of weather conditions or temperature of engine; component #3 (transmission) - on most right turns there is a clunk that eminates from the driver's side; component #4 (window) - the window on the driver's side is extremely difficult to roll down or up, especially in cooler weather

I recently noticed a recall on all gmac trucks due to problems with the anti-lock braking system. While my car is a sedan model, I am experiencing the similar problems. I would appreciate further investigation considering this vechile is only a 1993 mod
