This is CRAZY and there seems to be no fix for a problem that can KILL!!! I brought my 2008 Grand Prix into my local Firestone, I was experiencing a brake problem. The brakes were not grabbing, they acted like they weren't going to stop the car, they also pulsate in the same motion. I have now been back to Firestone a total of 4 times and have to go back yet again. They can't figure out the issue, they charged me damn near 1500$ to fix what they thought was wrong and each time I brought it back it seemed to be something different that needed fixing in order for the problem to be fixed. Needless to say Firestone is frustrated with me as I am as well.

Now today the problem is even worse, it's acting like it doesn't want to stop AT ALL! Before it was minor slippage but now it's getting really scary. What do I do, who do I talk to before someone gets killed? I have 2 young daughters and am a single parent. I can't afford to purchase a new car and there seems to be no one that can help at this point. I am going to contact Pontiac to see what they say but I doubt that I will get anywhere. I will keep everyone updated.
