What owners wrote
On nov. 25 & 26, while pulling up to a red light (2 times) and only traveling approximately 3 to 5 MPH my pontiac aztek (2003) has felt like the brakes have released (disengaged while my foot was still on the brake pedal) and has caused me to stop 5 to 10 feet beyond the point where I intended to stop. The feeling was that of applying your brakes on a wet road and your ABS system kicks in.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 pontiac aztek. The contact stated that the brakes did not always respond and needed to be applied repeatedly in order to function as normal. The contact also stated that the anti lock brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop, where faulty sensors where replaced; however the warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer, who found a leak on the fuel injection system. The contact replaced the fuel injection system.
