When I my car stops at lights stop signs and auto stop kicks on and I take my foot off brake to go my air bag lights flashes and stays on for a second and then goes out while I'm driving all the time . Then recently when I was driving and ended up stopping and auto stop kicked on my car made a grinding noise and I couldn't move I was in the middle of busy street at light I had to put my car in park and shut the car off and restart it for it to even move this happened two different times to me I am very worried because no engine light comes on or nothing and it is very dangerous also my airbag light should not come on while I'm driving this aswell is dangerous

Squeaking and scraping and reduced performance of rear brakes. Dealer tried a fix with identical parts to the original ones but the problem continues. They tell me that gm has not found a fix but is aware of the problem and that they have tried the same fix on three other vehicles that gm previously attempted as a fix. Gee, it's only brakes. What could go wrong? I bought the vehicle on october 26, 2015. It went in for the service of replacing rear rotors and pads on december 29, 2015 with 2,187 miles. There was absolutely no improvement at all. The service mgr. Said that I would be notified by mail when a fix is available when I called on january 18, 2016.

Almost every day the 1 st & 2 nd time the brakes are applied there is a grinding noise & it feels like the brakes are grabbing. On my car it seems to be coming from the drivers side.my car parks in the garage. 1 st time dealer said there was a bit of rust on the calipers they cleaned them up..next morning same thing..2 nd time back to dealer they said it's probably condensation & it's always going to be that way..my response was that's unacceptable & I will continue to bring my car back till its fixed.they later told me there was a service bulletin for this prob..gm is monitoring & working on the fix.

New buick 2015 encore 1. Appying brakes when backing out of garage creates a shrill squeal. 2. When slowing for the stop sign at the end of the street, applying brakes makes a moaning sound and slight vibration. 3. When I apply brakes to slow down at about 5 MPH such as stopping at an intersection, the brakes 'grab' rather than slowing smoothly. All problems happen in the morning after the car has set overnight, and they usually go away after driving enough to use the brakes a number of times. Last week I drove in a hard rain for 20-30 minutes getting home. Parked car overnight. Brake worked without the above problems for the next two days, then started again. Dealer says they (gm) are aware of the problem on some 2015 encores and are "working on it" but it is safe, and might be a few months before a fix.

The vehicle was purchased new in november 2013. The vehicle has been serviced at a local dealership 6 times since the beginning of march for problems with the brakes. At slow speeds (between 1 and 25 MPH) when the brake pedal is depressed or released a whistling, whirring, and grinding sound generates from the front of the vehicle. (the noise started 4 months after the purchase of the car.) the noise is so loud that is can be heard over a radio set at sound level 18 and disrupts conversation in the vehicle because of the ear piercing noise that is produced. A brake hose, the brake vacuum pump, and front pads and rotors were all replaced. The grinding sound has stopped but the whistling and whirring sound continues and now gets louder the more the brakes are used and the more time that is spent in city or stop and go traffic. Today, while stopped on an incline in traffic, the whistling and whirring sound started and the brake pedal started to move lower to the floor. As the whistling noise continued and became louder, the brake pedal became softer and moved closer to the floor and the car started to roll. Reapplication of the brake pedal resulted in the same response of the loud whistling noise and the car rolling forward. If the traffic light didn't change the car would have rolled into the vehicle in front of it.
