2 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 1999 GEO Prizm

Failure Date: 01/28/2001

I have inconsistant, "intermitent" loss of brakes. 3 people have experienced this problem while driving the vehicle. The service departments at 2 different dealerships have been unable to duplicate the problem. The brakes will take at first, disappear for a couple of seconds, the pedal goes almost to the floor and the brake returns (so far). The loss happens in both cold/hot weather & wet/dry conditions without warning. I am told the car is 'safe' to drive, although I consider this problem 'unsafe'.

3 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 1996 GEO Prizm

Failure Date: 11/01/1996

When vehicle is in motion the brake pedal will lock up, causing extended stopping distance. The vehicle will not stop until computer diagnoistics are completed. Please give further details.
