Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2011 Buick Regal

Issue: brake pedal will stiffen and slow the car down. The steering wheel column will violently shake, as if the calipers are stuck. Once parked, wheels are hot and omits a burning smell. Narrative: after the car is sitting in the sun, while driving in slow traffic the car is running rough, steering wheel starts shaking back and forth, the brakes start making noise when you stop. When accelerated there is grinding noise and dash light comes on. I pulled to the side of the road and turned off the car for five minutes, I start the car and it runs as normal. This was happening for a few weeks. I had the brakes replaced on 05/19/21 (I paid $737. 66 for the brake job). I drove the car for a couple of weeks and brakes seized. I had to have the car towed back to shop (costing me $135. 63) and the shop quoted brake pedal replacement. At that point I took the car to the everett, wa, clyde revord Buick dealership and they replaced the modular for the brake (part # 22997391) and it was expenive because it required removing the dash board and a lot of labor time (costing me another $1347. 31). I feel this is a safety hazaard as my brakes could have seized or a fire could have broke out while I was driving on the freeway. Fortunately, the brakes seized in a parking lot. I did some research on this topic and see that it is a common flaw for this make and model and should be covered by the manufacturer as a recall before someone gets killed.

In the last year I have had to replace brake pads, calipers and rotors 3 times in 1 year in my 2011 Buick Regal cxl 2. 4l. Now I'm getting ready to do it for a 4th time. I was sold car that had a hole in the middle of my exhaust that I didn't know was there until winter came and had to run the heat. The stabilitrak system came on out of the blue and shut my car off going down the highway. I have had nothing but problems with this car. I'm just fed up and over it. Its costing me way too much money for only only the car for a little over a year now.

None of the 4 recalls were fixed on this 2011 Buick Regal cxl 2. 4l car when I purchased this car at billion auto in iowa city, iowa. The stabilitrak is bad and was never brought up in the process of purchasing the car and I have had to change my brakes, rotors, and calipers in the rear both sides 3 times in the last 2 years. I'm not happy.
