Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 1997 Chevrolet Malibu

Consumer took vehicle to dealer for recall repairs. After leaving the dealer steering wheel and the brakes locked. Dealer checked vehicle, and stated that it was okay. However, vehicle was still experiencing the same problem.

These cars are a constant repair bill and dangerous to operate because the tail lights will blow bulbs and without tail lights you are due for a rear collision. The brakes are awful and the rack and pinion didn't give any warning before it failed(locked up) gm will not take responsibility for any of these and numerous other defects in the car please help!.

While driving would step on the brakes and it will makes noise like grinding metal to metal. Brakes had to be replaced nine times.

The car has brakes that need replacement at about 35,000 miles then at 51000 miles and now need to be done again. I have not had an accident but it could happen. The brakes pulse which cause a shimmy at high speed and thus instability. I accept responsibility forbrake repair but feel that cheverolet has a design fault with the brakes. I have noted on the internet other people with similar problems with the brakes and know personally of two people who have also had problems. This is a problem that could cause an accident my repair records indicate several visits to the dealer. They claimed I was riding the brakes, that it was a design problem and in one instance I had two tires replaced and they blamed the tire dealer for not torqueing the bolts correctly. I realize that brakes wear out but this is a problem beyond fair wear and tear.

Intermittently while driving vehicle would pull to the right or left, which may cause loss of control or accident. Consumer thinks it may be the abs braking system, but no warning light came on. Nas not been to the dealer. Please provide further information and VIN#.

Consumer has been experiencing problems with anti-lock brakes. The consumr replaced brakes once already, and needs to have them replaced again. Also, when applying the brakes, they make a high squeaky sound. Manufacturer has yet to be contacted.

We did not purchase this vehicle, however upon rental I experienced problems with the brakes rubbing. We reported this to the facility where it was rented and was assured this vehicle had just been serviced. We then took said vehicle to the mountains and the brakes went metal to metal. Upon my return to the agency I made a complaint and was treated unfairly. We then went to court. Raffield tire master testified that the chevy Malibu in question was notorious for brake sounds and rubbing and that the parts were consistently on back order. We want this verified and put a stop to these people trying to take others for a ride and free brake repair. We are currently in litigation over the deposit against so-called damages to said vehicle. We won the case in magistrate, but they have appealed to the state court.

While driving the vehicle the brakes and steering all of a sudden locked up, causing the driver to lose control of the entire vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer, and they did not understand what had happened so they were trying to fix the computer. When the driver drove again the same thing happened again.

Whenever brakes are applied, while driving at 40mph, they make squealing noises. They would also lurch & jerk. Have been to dealer, and dealer replaced rotors. The noise in the brakes still exists.

While driving vehicle 40 pmh driver stepped on the brake pedal to stop vehicle, the brakes made noise like grinding metal to metal sound, and vehicle stopped a few inches away. Also consumer said that he lost control of vehicle , almost causing an accident. He had to replace brakes many times before. Manufacturer and dealer were contacted.

Brake pedal goes to floor.

While driving 20 mph and when depressing brakes pedal it traveled to floorboard, resulting into extended stopping distance, causing consumer to crash head on into a pole.

Due to improper installation rear brakes are inoperative, causing the rear brakes to rust out. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.

When applying brakes the vehicle does not stop in a proper amount of distance. Dealer has seen vehicle, and can't duplicate the problem.
