2 Brake Disc Pads problem of the 2012 Buick Regal

Failure Date: 07/04/2014

Brake pads rusted to the rotors, after hand-washing the vehicle the evening of July 2nd. Needed to rev the engine very high, in order to release the brake pads. This has occurred several times after driving the vehicle in the rain, and then letting it sit for a day or two. On Jan 16, 2015 we took the vehicle in for warranty work, but the dealer did not do anything. On Feb 20, 2015 we took the vehicle to another dealer, but again they did not do anything.

4 Brake Disc Pads problem of the 1998 Buick Regal

Failure Date: 12/30/1997

Have 1998 Buick rega GS. Only 55000 miles. Have had several rotors and brake pads replaced over life of vehicle. Same problem even while under warrenty. Dealer originally turned rotors. Dealer appeared to be aware of problem. Problem returned shortly thereafter. After several rotors and brake pad replacements out of warrenty I finally replaced rotors with high performance cross drilled and slotted rotor (assuming a heat problem) but to no avail. Vehicle shakes violantly at times when brakes applied and rotors always warped. I believe gm was aware of problem from onset but refuses to recall vehicle. Please note that this vehicle did this from the day I purchased it new in decmeber of 1997 but I thought it was a new form of antilock braked that pulsated. Fear that if sold to another individual, vehicle brakes may fail.
