The contact owns a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. While backing out of the driveway at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle slowed down; however, the contact had to apply the emergency brake in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic, who stated that the brake line was rusted. The current and failure mileages were 51,000. Updated 11/12/08. Updated 11/14/08.

Grand Prix 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,300 miles
The following occurred on a 1999 Grand Prix that has 52,300 +/- miles on it, located in southeastern pa and not garaged. I went to start my car after a meeting and the brake pedal went to the floor. Subsequent investigation in the meeting location parking lot showed that brake fluid was pumping out of the brake line system. I had the car flat-bed towed to the local Pontiac dealer. A brake line had rusted through in the engine area. The other brake lines up under the chassis were also rusted. The Pontiac dealer is replacing all of the brake lines with new lines that have to be bent to shape. Only two small lines were available pre-bent from General Motors.
