The brake system on this car has had problems from day one, at approx. 3,000 mi. The ABS system light came on and was "repaired" under warranty. At approx. 5,000 mi. The ABS/brake warning light both came on the dealer kept the car for 2 1/2 days "reparing the system". the only problems up untill now have been the ABS/brake warning light both coming on at the same time, turning the car off and back on would clear the lights and seem to clear the problem. At about 48,000 mi. The pedel would occasionaly drop very close to the floor when applying the brakes(more so under light braking). Now the pedal must be pushed to the floor to slow and stop. As of todays brake inspection, my local mechanic tells me to take it back to the dealer, because there is somthing wrong with the master cylinder/ABS modulator.

The brakes do not stop properly as indicated in the recalll for GM trucks. I have had the master cylinder changed and the brakes changed. Pontiac refuses to do more.

Brakes failed when car sat all day or overnight and I would just start to move at no more than 10 mph. The first three times it happened I could pump up the brakes until they would begin to hold. The last time the brakes would not pump up, and I had to let the car roll slow enough to bump into a curb and throw it into park. The last time car was undrivable. Dealers service manager came out and attempted to drive the car and brakes failed. After hearing the "clanging' noice I have complained about since January, he diagnosed the problem as the ABS malfunction. This was confirmed at the service center and the ABS motor pak was replaced at a cost to owner of $160. GM and dealer picked up balance of repair costs. Dealer confirmed the original problem in January 1999 was the ABS and not master cylinder--never was the master cylinder. The warning lights never came on and the sensors never revealed the problem on the diagnostic testing.
