Software Problems of Chevrolet Impala

I had noticed the epb light coming on intermittently, far more often than every 50 key cycles, and began experiencing a significant decrease in acceleration, poor braking, brake dust buildup, uneven tire wear, bogging down when the vehicle would shift and when accelerating out of a slowdown and/or turn. I would also constantly smell brake dust and tire rubber and felt my brakes would become extremely hot to the touch after short trips. I observed the outer rear brake pads through the caliper and there seemed to be decent pad left. However I took my vehicle to the dealership many times and was told every time that there was no need to replace the pads. I was never notified of any software flashes to correct any known or unknown issues, and was once told that my brakes needed to be bled and after having the dealership service them was told the issue should be corrected. I had friends and family with automotive backgrounds look at my brakes and tell me there seemed to be no visible issues. I finally decided to have a look myself one day. After hoisting the vehicle up, removing the rear tire and inspecting the caliper and pads, I realized that the epb had actually heat/rust-welded itself to the inner brake pad which was completely worn with no pad whatsoever. The epb was actually unable to retract, even though the light was off, because the metal plate on the back of the pad had been fused to the epb. I had taken it back to the dealer who refused to look at it again, and was inevitably tasked with correcting the issue myself. I have spent hundreds of dollars on new pads, rotors, caliper pins, grease, tires, etc. Because of the persisting issue. When I searched my vehicle by VIN it told me there were no recalls, but after searching by year/make/model I finally found the recall involving the epb causing drag after failing to retract. This issue continues today.

The 2006 Impala since the day we purchased it has a high pitch ear piercing loud noise that comes mainly from the drivers side speaker and last about 23 minutes. Turning the directional on either way will make the noise cut off. Our vehicle has been to the dealer 5 times now and they are unable to remedy or know what it is??? we have asked since day one for gm to replace the vehicle. Several items have been replaced on our new vehicle and we feel we have a "lemon". Gm refuses to answer us and do anything about this defective vehicle. The seat belt kit has been replaced and updated software to the radio as well. There is rust underneath the vehicle as well. All these issues were seen by us and the service dept 2 days after purchasing the vehicle. We need help!!!!! we feel the sound we are hearing is some type of electrical warning or defect. The turn signal being connected to the problem indicates such. We have the noise on tape and got a gm service supervisor to witness the technical issue happening (6-10-06), the vehicle then went in for the 5 time and they replaced the amplifier. The noise came back the next day 6-18-06, that we drove it. It has been in 5 times now since the day we bought it 4-15-06 and we have had nothing but problems with it.
