Oldsmobile Bravada grinding brakes causing inability to move forward or backward on Oldsmobile Bravada

Problem overview

Some Oldsmobile Bravada owners report experiencing grinding brakes, which can lead to an inability to move forward or backward. This issue may stem from a malfunctioning ABS system, often indicated by the ABS and brake lights illuminating intermittently. Additionally, problems with the vehicle's brake electric antilock system are commonly reported as contributing factors. Some owners also note a pulsating brake pedal, which signals a serious braking system issue that requires immediate attention to prevent further damage. A soft brake pedal, potentially caused by air entering the system through a leak, can exacerbate the grinding brakes and hinder movement. Furthermore, a brake fluid leak may lead to a spongy pedal feel, further impacting the vehicle's mobility. It is essential for owners to have these components inspected and to seek professional assistance promptly to ensure safety and proper functioning of the vehicle.
