1995 Buick Skylark Brakes Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the brake system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Brakes reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

INTERMITTANTLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WHILE BRAKING, EXTENDING STOPPPING DISTANCE. GOODYEAR AND MONROE MUFFLERS/ BRAKES UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE, GM DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. I AM RETURNING CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ABS AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED (COST OF ABOUT $1500.00) BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, IT JUST IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS WAY. *AK
