What owners say
Abs braking system malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Common problem. Please provide further information.
Several componets of ABS have failed. Motor assembly failed 2 times, ABS module (#16184393) once. Both very expensive ($500 and $1000 respectively). Could have caused low speed collision when pedal goes to floor. Techincal bulletin (the federal safety agency item number: sb037955) may be concern for recall. Thankyou.
This car has cost me a fortune. First I paid for the ABS brake problem from the time I owned the car and the disc brakes were new. I also had the rotors turned and they still make squeaky noises when backing up there is a weird noise,plus the brakes feel like they have air in the brake line. Also, when the ABS light comes on, it feels as if I dont have any brakes at all. I'm sorry to say that it is a great looking car everyone that sees it thinks it; looks great and the engine sounds good, but it always cost me so much to keep it. As a female from mcnamara pontiac dealerships and goodyear and firestone has drained me over hundred dollars, and I have the receipts, even the warranty I bought didn't help me with the problem I had. The car dealership I bought the car from won't trade or fix any thing but my brother bought a car from them and they fixed every problem he had for free. Someone please help me before I or one my kids die in this car.
