There are repeated brake problems; rotors and pads have a lot of pulsation in them. Vehicle has had three sets of rotors put on and two sets of pads installed. Contacted dealer, and dealer has replaced rotors and pads. But problem still occurs.

- Dansville, NY, USA

Brakes pulsate when slowing or stopping from a high rate of speed. Rotors were turned at 7,000 miles and changed at another date. Problem is occurring for the 3rd time now. Dealership will not help me with the correction. I was told my warranty will only cover 1 rotor change, but the problem is still there and I believe Pontiac should stand behind their product and correct the error.

- Webster, TX, USA

Brakes failed when applied, would overheat and caught fire. Vehicle would stop. Took to mechanic & brake pads & rotors replaced. Lower control & caliper boots had burned. Brakes have been replaced 3 times for same problem. No indication what was causing problem. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have had the brakes replaced under warranty because of pulsation when braking at high speeds. That was corrected but still having brake problems. The car has an increased stopping distance and the pedal feels too low to the ground. I have to push the brakes all the way down in order to stop. I don't believe that in a real emergency that the car could stop in time to avoid impact. I'm calling the delearship tomorrow to have fixed but I don't believe it will be covered under warranty.

At 3,000 miles excessive wear of brake rotors/ pads and hub. Vehicle been in dealer's shop on five occasions. They turn rotors and rear drums twice, and replaced hub. Problem still reoccurring. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

Bought the car brand new, the car constantly shaked and vibrated when braking or at high speeds the rotors had to be turned they were warped, ,and the motor is failing puffing blue smoke out and can smell it inside the vehicle.

- Rockford, IL, USA

I found the first problem of vibration around 3000K and there was no forseable problem. Around 6000K the shuttering began and the dealer said they were to shave the rotors and pads. Around 9000K another shutter and the service manager said they should have replaced it in the first place. It has happened again and I'm calling them tomorow to fix it again.

- Hagerstown, MD, USA

Brakes were not tightened enough during manufacturing. Dealer said that rotors loosened during shipping which caused rotors to warp brakes pads to fail. Dealer wasn't trying to remedy problem, and didn't offer a loaner vehicle.ak
