1 Brakes Failed problem of the 1999 Buick Regal

Failure Date: 07/15/2008

My wife said the brakes felt "funny". But no red warning light showed. I went to drive the car to see what the problem was. When I started the engine and pushed the brake, the peddle went all the way to the floor and the brake fluid drained out in a puddle under the can - then the red warning light went on. Prior to this, there was no indication of a brake problem. If we had been driving, we would have had an accident. The car was towed to the dealer, who is now making repairs. I contacted gm to complain about the catastrophic nature of this brake failure -they will not accept any responsibility. I am concerned that this is likely to happen to other Buick owners will serious negative results.
