1998 Pontiac Sunfire brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Rear brakes lock up after getting wet. We have had the car to the dealership three times for the same problem. The first two times they said it was brake dust, cleaned and adjusted brakes. The third incident they could not duplicate the problem so as far as they are concerned it does not exist.
When applying the brakes on wet pavement brakes failed, causing extended stopping distance. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer, but no problem has been found. *ak
Seat belts have never fit properly.engage neck area rather than shoulder area of any size adult(we are average 5"8")-parking brake repaired in first six months of ownership as making strange twanging noises.problem returned recently (defective design?) and when changing tires recently we realised that the drivers side wheel would spin with brake "on"----the stereo display fails consistantly in hot weather.gm reman wait list is excessive(at least 6 months) for admitted defect by dealer personnel.
While applying the brakes there is vibration which may cause loss of vehicle control. Dealer cannot determine the problem. Please provide further information.
