Brake Electric Antilock Problems of Oldsmobile Cutlass

Engine(ignition) quits while car is being driven. All power systems are lost, making steering and braking difficult. Engine restarts when key is turned off and then turned on to restart. This is an electrical or computer problem that seems to be reset when the ignition switch is turned off and then on again. Could be a very dangerous situation.

Car lights slowly went out on drive home. Antilock brakes went out, power steering went out and finally all the lights went out and vehicle would not start. Replaced battery-horn wouldn't work and light continued to come on. Took car to the dealership-reset computer-now day running lamps don't come on when start the car on-they only come on when the car is in drive. The airbag senor is also out. This all occurred at 37000 miles.

A/c turned off on its own. Consumer has come close to having an accident, trying to push buttons to turn it back on. Consumer felt this was unsafe. Consumer noticed steam, pulled over ,and it was gushing coolant out. Took to dealer , and they said water pump went out, and thermostat failed. Consumer felt lucky this didn't cause a fire. Also, abs flashed on and off sometimes.

Ongoing problem with brakes locking up from the rear wheels.

Due to defective brake rotors which had to be replaced 6 times, every 21,000 miles. Brakes operated poorly, causing extended stopping distance, and may result in a crash. Please provide further information.

When brakes are applied, would be hesitating before grabbing. Had rotors replaced once & then turned 3 times. Rotors go bad & no control. Mechanic can not locate problem.

The problem still exists after changing brakes and rotors 3 times.

When coming out of driveway in the morning when it's wet and stepping on the brakes, the brakes lock up and then let loose. Also when you driving down the road and applying foot on the brake, the vehicle will still move forward about 15 feet before it stops.

Ongoing problem with brake system. Whenever vehicle is at a parked position and sitting for a while, then when backing up the consumer can hear shot of air going through the system which causes a backward surge (almost as though the brake pedal would lock up) with no brake. Vehicle been in dealer shop on several occasion sand nothing could be found. Can NHTSA help in this matter.

Anti lock brakes lock up resulting in skidding on occasions.

We have replaced the front and rear brakes more than eight times and have replaced the rotors twice. We have talked with other Cutlass supreme owners and they have replaced their brakes just as much if not more frequently. This has resulted in costly repairs.

While attempting to make a normal stop consumer noticed a grinding sound coming from the brakes. Also, in order to stop, excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal. In many cases, vehicle had experienced extended stopping distance. Consumer has contacted dealer. Please provide any further details.

When applying the abs brakes, the pedal went to the floor and there was extended stopping distance.
