My brakes failed last night while driving almost causing an accident. It's in my gargage at home now because I'm afraid to drive it to the dealer. My dealer is saying too bad, bring it in, but you'll have to pay. Manufacturer is saying too bad, we've never heard of such issues, even though I have 51 pages of complaints. This is why olds is going out of business, for building crap cars, that they don't back! I will never buy another gm car again!!!! I find this totally unacceptable to have no brakes after just 15,000 miles and no prior issues. Now since the incident last night the brakes grind horribly and go right to the floor. What a joke and embarrassment for gm! dt.
Brake system failure. Pedal went to floor. Occured once before without incident. This time caused major accident totaling vehicle. Applied brakes. Pedal went to floor. No warning lights came on. Related note. . . Both times, "low tire pressure" light falsely came on day before failure. All tires were properly inflated both times. False tire inflation low light seems to predict system failure.
