| Brake problem addressed here is a repeated, erratic, sudden loss of some or all brake power in the car. mechanical components have been replaced, pads, rotors, etc. but the problem continues to come and go without warning. recall was denied by both a pontiac dealer and the corporation.attempts to determine why my vehicle was excluded from the recall have been unsuccessful..attempts to determine the manufacturer were denied...i no longer care a great deal about my personal satisfaction, however, the description of the problem in nhtsa 93v-121 and the troubles i've had are too similar too ignore since there could be any number of similarly ignored vehicles on the road...if possible, i'd like to find out why some cars were left out before i have the car fixed...i certainly won't be letting the hoses and such be discarded after the repairs, but i would like some help comparing and contrasting them with the original discrepancies...thanks. *ak | |||
