1. no injury, no crash, wife complained of breakpedal going to the floor as she backed out of the garage - I observed large amounts of break fluid in driveway. I instructed her to get out and shut it off- message center also warned of brake failure. 2. steel brake line chafed against the frame of '97 Seville sts - factory installation/design with clearance too tight in the location where the line crosses over the frame to the terminal bracked at the rear wheel - wore through the brake line. I've owned the car since new and there was never a damage or a repair in the area where it wore through. This is obviously a very serious class defect as the location of the wear through is not in a service area of the car and there is no warning of an eminent failure. 3. I used a hacksaw to cut out the worn portion of the break line and using compression fitting from the hardware store and a new brake line section from the auto parts store re-routed the line away from the frame that cut the original line. I have the worn line and digital photographs of it and the failure before removal. There needs to be a service recall inspection of all '97 Seville to see if this is occuring on every or most models. The gromets and brackets that position this line are most likely common on all models up through '97.

I bought a used car with an extended warranty. A week later the fuel switch went out. I had to spend $80 to get that fixed at the same dealership. After a few weeks the turing switch started smoking so I took it to different dealership to get check out and they fixed it for $100 (co pay) while my car was being fixed they found a major oil leak and asked me if I would like to see if my warranty would fix it. The warrenty people came out and said no we are not going to pay the $1,500 -$2,500 to fix it. The car needs to go back to where you bought it so they can fix the car because the leak was preexisting. At that time I went and talked to one of the owners. He said he would look into it and advised me to go and let the service manager take a look at the car. Come to find out the used car lot knew about the leak and did not tell me at the time of sale otherwise I would not have bought the car. I was told by the service manager that the sales department may pay to get it fixed and they declined. I am now stuck with a $320 a month payment on a car that I can't drive very much until the leak is fixed. I would like to get my old car back that I traded in. I was told that I would be able to under the used car lemon law act. One more note I also need to get the steering colum repaired that would be another $210 and I work for the company I bought the car from.
