| Brakes lights would come on by themselves while driving or while parked without depressing the brake pedal. also cruise control would be disabled without using the brake or any switch to disable it. took it to a gm repair facility (dealer) who recalibrated the brake pedal switch, but the condition returned. took it to an independent repair facility who recalibrated the brake pedal sensor. that independent repair facility thought that the cruise control problem was related to the brake lights coming on by themselves. hazard: someone driving behind could confuse the brake lights coming on as a sign that the car was suddenly stopping, which might cause the car following to slam on their brakes and causing an accident. *tr | |||

| While driving at 55 m.p.h. going downhill at a 6% grade vehecle's front end and steering column started vibrating violently. pullled over and let car sit for 30-45 minutes, then traveled on. took car to buick dealer and found rotors severly warped. rotors were turned(machined) and car brakes were o.k. for next 2-3000 miles. driving at 55m.p.h. noticed pulsation/vibration when applying brakes. took car to local dealer and they did not seem it was anything to worry about. drove car at 55 m.p.h. on highway and vibration and pulsation became worse. took car to a national retaler and had to have rotors replaced with heat dissipating rotors. car should have had these type rotors to begin with due to size and weight. this problem could cause a fire or the inability to stop when needed, causing possible serious accidents. | |||

| There is a clunking of the driverside front brakes followed with a scraping sound in the engine compartment accompanied with a hesitation in maintaining driving speed. the car will then show a warning to service the stabilitrack system. when this occurs brakes feel like there is something loose that is between brake pad and disc. dealership said it needed to reprogram the module. they did but problem persists. now module needs replacing. the vehicle is a hazard should brakes fail or lock up. *tr | |||
