Re: Breaks?
Sounds to me like your emergency brake cables are locked up. Jack up the vehicle. and check each wheel by spinning it. Once you pin point the problem wheel/wheels. There should be some visible cause of the problem.

Re: 2001 Grand AM GT
Welcome to the forum but please don't create 2 threads for one issue. I tried to answer your question in your other thread. Good Luck

Re: 2001 Grand AM GT

you'll quickly learn that you'll get the most crap from your brakes in a grand am. That is their major weakness.. trust me,
I know |
