Steering Column Problems of 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.

The contact owns a 1998 Buick Regal. When attempting to drive, the steering column locked without warning. This condition, would not allow the vehicle to be driven. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility, and the rack and pinion was replaced. However, after the repair the failure resurfaced. The failure and current mileages were unavailable.

Lever that controls the 'tilt wheel' broke off at the steering column. The auto was purchased new by me and I only have 44,000 miles on it. I called livingston motors, but was told that there is no warranty on that part. . I have been a regular customer there.
