2009 Buick Lucerne. Consumer writes in regarding brake rotor issues the consumer stated when he applied the brake, the front of the vehicle shuddered violently. The next day, the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The consumer was informed the front rotors were warped and needed to be resurfaced and the front pads needed to be replaced. The consumer stated not less than a month prior, everything check out fine and now 536 miles later there was a problem. The dealer stated the problem was due to the consumer not down shifting properly while driving on down grades. The consumer shared the information with a number of mechanics who indicated the cause of the problem was due to whatever procedures were applied during the tire rotation, such as improper calibration etc.
We got several warning messages concerning traction control, stabilitrac, and brake system. The authorized dealer found that brake fluid was leaking from the master cylinder into the brake booster, requiring replacement of both components. Online searches reveals this is common problem within the Buick line and other gm products. Our experience with this failure was uneventful but could have a tragic ending if one was to continue driving an affected vehicle with low or lacking brake fluid.
