We have had this car for about 2 years, and have had problems since the beginning. First thing was the cooling fan. It quit working about 6 months after we bought the car. We had that fixed then started having other electrical problems. The brake lights would work here and there, the turn signals would work one day and not the next, now they don't work at all. The ABS light would flash off and on and the brake light would come on also. We know that filing this complaint will not fix the problems we are having with the car, we just wanted to make it known that we will never buy another pontiac due to the problems we are having with this one. Thank you for your time.

Anti lock brake system makes funny noises, and the ABS warning light comes on, indicating that the system is not working. This happens while drivng the vehicle without brake application. The ABS motor was rebuilt in december. Owner continues to experience the same problem.
Abs failure. Brakes did not work at all.
Abs problems; on normal road condtions when applying the brakes, there is a clunking noise and the brake grab and release, making the vehicle skip forward and additional braking distance is required. This happens during normal braking. The dealer is not able to find a problem with the system.
Was applying brakes when the ABS system kicked when it should not have. Locked up the tires & sometimes had no brake pedal. Took to dealer & informed 1st time needed adjustment. 2nd time put in new ABS module. The 3rd time could not find anything wrong.
When applying the ABS brakes in a sudden stop situation, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle.
When it rains the ABS system does not work it locks up and slides. Please describe. Tt
