This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Power booster failed, causing brake pedal to hit floor.also, dealer advised that brake pads will have to be replaced. This will be the third replacement.
While driving about 30 mph consumer applied brakes, pedal went to floor, no braking action. Towed to dealer, who found power booster had failed, and had to be replaced.
Excessive wearing of brake pads, brake shoes due to the intermittent engagement of the power booster while driving. Took vehicle when it first had this problem to two different Chevrolet dealerships and was told that because I could not prove the booster's premature triggering that it would not be covered under warranty, in other words they told me if we don't see it as being broken we aren't fixing it.. they did not acknowledge the existance of a safety bulleting saying in fact that the power booster was prone to failure. Since then I have had to change out the brake pads twice at my own expense. I replaced all parts with gmac factory parts and replaced the power booster with a GM rebuilt power booster.
