2001 Buick Regal Brakes Problems

“On 1997-2004 w platform GM autos, including my Regal, the ABS sensor design is flawed in that it's wiring is located in an exposed location at the inside bottom of the wheel hub that any road ditritus can impact, causing the track system off dash light to come on and ABS braking to fail. I am now on my 6th replacement incident since 2006, when it happened the 1st time. (2 each on the front wheel hubs and 1 on a rear. …”

“As stated in several other complaints my brakes have rusted and also screech. I have also replaced them like others have with the same result ( put new rotors on this last time also). This last time I had it start screaming almost instantly after replacing them. My car also has a small shake to it that can`t seem to be figured out. It comes from the front end just like others have stated.”

“Well driving I was going along at 40 MPH and the car just up and died all the dash lights started to flashing steering becomes hard and the braking is like standing on a brick I do believe the ignition switch may be the problem it is the same switch that is in the chevrolet impala that had been recalled I used to work for a garage and install them often I do hope you look in to this with care second thing is the steering rack is really bad and when I took it in to them at the dealer they tried to tell me it was from use I don't believe it I have a ase certified person do all the work to it…”

“Was in fatal accident on may 8 2009 in des moines, ia. It was light rain that night and I made an attempt to turn a corner and slide right through and fence and dropped down a hill about and estimated 20 feet. The anti-brake system failed as well as the airbag not deploying is my concern. This was not the first incident. The one took place in december of 2009. A deer ran out in front of the car and the same thing happened I was they conducted an investigation, but was not informed to where I could understand. Now the case is with their lawyers who won't answer the phone.”

“Starting at about 10,000 miles there was a very distinct rubbing sound when applying the brakes in a non-emergency situation (it reminded me of the sound brakes make when they have too much wear and usually it's an indication the brakes need to be relpaced). At about 15,000 miles I had the car serviced and the dealer stated no problem with the brakes. At about 29,500 I had to have the brakes and rotors replaced. About 5,000 miles after the brakes and rotors were replaced the sound has started again. …”
