I had the car into the dealer three times prior to the warranty expiration with complaints about the brakes. My concern was that the brake light (ABS) kept coming on and off. Finally, the end of August they agreed to replace the rotors if I paid to replace the brake pads. This was done. The next week, I was driving down the highway and the brake light came on again. I immediately picked up the cell phone and called the dealer. I was told that it was probably a computer glitch and to bring it in at my convenience. I scheduled it to go in on Friday, three days later. On Wednesday night, I was driving, came to a stop sign and had no brakes. A tree stopped me! the dealership and Oldsmobile would accept no responsibility, so I paid for the repairs myself. Today, after I have had it on the road again for about three months, the ABS light came on as soon as I started the car. Am I safe in this car"??? do I feel safe" no help.

Extreme pulsation when braking - steering wheel and brake pedal are difficult to control. The dealer has tried replacing the brake pads, turning the rotors, and replacing the rotors and nothing has worked. After each of the 5 times we have this car serviced, the pulsation returns after 3,000 to 4,000 miles. We are entering arbitration proceedings with Oldsmobile to demand a buy-back.

I have E-mailed Oldsmobile and they have referred me back to burne Oldsmobile. It is a government owned vehicle that is used as an enforcement vehicle. The brakes have been replaced two times, the calipers once and now they are failing again. Our group has a second Oldsmobile Cutlass that is experiencing the same problems with brake failure. There are no current recalls. The vehicle is covered until 36,000 miles, however; the more important issue is the constant wearing out of the front brakes as well as the calipers. Please advise me of any corrective actions that can be taken.
