1997
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
VEHICLE IS 1997 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NEVER SEEMED TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY. THE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED AND ALSO REPLACED AND STILL BRAKES DO NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY. WHEN BRAKING AT 70 MPH A FEELING OF BRAKING AND NON-BRAKING ALTERNATELY CAN BE NOTICED. WHEN SLOWING FROM 20 MPH TO A COMPLETE STOP A FEELING OF BRAKING AND NO-BRAKING CAN BE FELT. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS OUT OF TIME OR ADJUSTMENT. AT THE SLOW SPEED THE DANGER IS NOT GREAT; BUT AT THE HIGHER SPEED, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS A PROBLEM. CONTROL IS A MUCH GREATER PROBLEM WHEN ROADS ARE WET, SNOWY, OR ICY.*AK
