1999 Pontiac Grand Prix brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The inside brake pad on both front braking systems are wearing very uneven, this uneven wear is causing the inside pads to disintegrate and causing metal to metal contact, for lack of brake pad material. This uneven wear pattern allowed the outside pad to be about 90% of new and the inside pad to be destroyed, there is a wear indicator on the outside pad that tells the operator the brakes need to be checked or replaced. Because the calipers were not functioning properly and were probably sticking(as they are suppose to sort of float)the inside pad was doing most of the braking, this one pad braking prematurely wore out the inside pad to the point of metal to metal contact,and because of the braking was mostly with one pad the rotars were also warped causing acclerated wear.the auto dealer I took it to for repar stated that this wear pattern was unusual(four other service people also stated this at this dealership)but said that no service bullitans were issued and they felt they had no liability. A regional service manager from general motors was in the dealership at the time, inspected the bad parts and stated this wear pattern is very unusual, but still declined to accept any liability. It is extremely dangerous to operate a vehicle that can prematurely destroy its braking system. I have contacted and shown other certified brake techs this and also contacted other gen. Motors emplyees about this problem and was told to contact the agencies in my owners manual. The general motors area service managers name who would not fully accept liability name and phone # is as follows: don j. Stevens, area service mngr.

Disc brakes are grinding - metal to metal. There is a problem with the disc brake system. It is hanging up on the inside of the disc brakes. It is causing the back side of the disc on all four wheels to "groove" the rotor, with the worst being in the rear of the vehicle.
The rear wheel speed sensor wire bundles (left and right side) ride the edge of sharp metal cutouts as the wiring passes outside of the vehicle feedthru grommets.
Front brakes keep going out and lock up.
When traveling on snow pavement surface and upon depressing brake pedal, rear brakes locked up, causing vehicle to go into a skid, resulting in vehicle rolling down into a ditch and hitting a tree. Upon impact, neither driver's side nor passenger's side air bag deployed also there was an excessive amount of front end damage to the vehicle. Consumer has contacted manufacturer. Please provide any further details.
While driving the ABS light on the insterment panel lit and remained on (not flashing). Later when the car was restarted the light was off. After driving a few miles the light again light and remained on. I notified the dealer service dept. Of the problem and an appointment was made. The dealer informed me the ( left front wheel speed sensor wireing harness was broken ) a new part was ordered. When I returned home I looked for myself and noticed the harness from the wheel sensor was rubbed almost in two. The harness is located in such a place that when the wheels are turned all the way to right the left tire tire rubbed the harness.these are the the original wheels and tires from the manufacture. Any additinal information you may need please feel from to contact me. Thank you. Alan zeller.
