It started with some lights on the dashboard then the brakes smoking. When driving it the brakes seems unsafe took it to a mechanic said it's the steering angle sensor . They called several placeses included the dealership and gm does not make that part anymore for the year and model. Said it could be ordered online they tried it but it's not the same part needed. The mechanic said it's not recommended to drive that's it's very unsafe to do so. We have decided to park it and not use it for safety issues.
