I'm assuming these were rear end collisions your wife had.

What were the road conditions like? Wet ? Dry ?

How fast was the car traveling?

Was your wife driving to close to the cars ahead of her?

Does the car have Anti Lock Brakes (ABS)?

Do you have over 36,000 miles on the brakes?

Oh, I'm doing that, too... The first mechanic said nothing was
wrong... of course, that's the mechanic at the dealer where I bought
the car, so I'm thinking a second opinion might be in order...

Correct.

Dry. Hot weather.

55-60 MPH

Considering she was in another accident earlier this year she's been
driving futher away from cars than even *I* do. According to her at
least 60 feet behind the car in front of her. From my watching her
drive I wouldn't be surprised if it was closer to 80 feet.

Nope.

Nope.

I didn't think the 03 Century was available without ABS.

Forgot to say in my previous post ABS is optional for 04 & 05 as well as
03.

Actually Century & Regals do have brake issues. Not from a parts
failure mind you. More from premature application of the anti-lock
system.

In Snow or Rain it will come in way to early, and modulate too
much for effective stopping distances. About the same in other low
traction situations. You will notice the "low trac" light coming on just at
the Anti-Lock goes to work.

Is it a sever enough problem to sue GM, or even get a buy back?
No. You just have to brake sooner, and not so hard. First gen 4 wheel
ABS systems spoiled people. They are not used to how newer systems work.
Some times they work "too well".

If you think the brakes on your car are defective, here is what you
should do:

Take it to a dealer, and have a Tech road test it, and try to measure
the stopping distance against a like car.
Then go to a independent and have the same done. If your not satisfied maybe
call your state police and ask for a vehicle safety inspection.
