BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 93 SEVILLE HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE REPLACED SOCKETS AND THEY CONTINUE TO BURN OUT, NOT THE BULB BUT THE SOCKETS? I HAVE ASKED OTHER SEVILLE OWNERS AND THEY TOO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN ADDRESSED BY GM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE? *AK
LOST VEHICLE BRAKING BECAUSE OF BRAKE LINE TUBING CORROSION. I NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BY QUICKLY CHANGING LANES INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE BRAKE TUBING WAS NOT GALVANIZED AS THE PITTING CORROSION WAS SEVERE... THE CAR IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD. I HOPE OTHERS WILL NOT BE EXPOSED TO THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF A MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE... THE BRAKES!*JB
THE GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *NLM
WHILE CONSUMER WAS HAVING VEHICLE SERVICED FOR A LEAKING MASTER CYLINDER, THE BRAKE LINE FAILED PER DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS *DT
WHILE REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER, BOTH REAR BRAKE LINES WERE NOTED TO BE SEVERLY RUSTED. BY THE TIME THE FUEL FILTER WAS REMOVED FROM THE HOLDING BRACKET (THIS BRACKET ALSO HOLDS THE BRAKE LINES ABOVE THE FILTER) THE BRAKE LINES STARTED TO LEAK. MANUFACTURER DOES NOT RECOMMEND UNDERCOATING, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WHEN THEY REPLACE BRAKE LINES THEY ALWAYS UNDERCOAT THE LINES. NOW, SECTIONS OF BRAKE LINE HAVE BEEN REPLACED, HOWEVER SOME SECTIONS OF THE LINE CAN'T BE EASILY REACHED AND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. I'M WORRIED THAT THE LINES WILL RUPTURE WHEN I'M DRIVING AND NEED TO BRAKE HARD. HELP!
WHILE TRAVELING 55MPH & STARTED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE ABS BRAKES LOCKED UP. WAS EXPERIENCING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SKID. VEHICLE HIT AN EMBANKMENT & THEN FLIPPED OVER. HAD HIT RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE & THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. *AK
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES REPLACED DUE TO EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.
BRAKES NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERPOWER ENGINE WHEN ENGINE IS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
