When braking down hill the rotors warp making it almost impossible to stop in an emergency. Dealership paid for the second repair, car was about a year old, saying it was a defect in the design, lightweight rotors, calipers and brake pads. Luckily I live in an area that is flat. Every time I go out of town I have to deal with this fear and a repair job. An independent mechanic said I needed to upgrade to heavy duty rotors and calipers. Said this took care of the problem in a cadillac with the same problems. It's a 2k fix but dealership refuses to fix it because I am a woman am heavy on the brakes downhill and that his wife can't drive either. Also said they won't fix the defect due to me taking the car to an independent mechanic. I had to as they kept turning the rotors even though they can only be turned 2 x. This defect will eventually cause an accident but until then I just hope for the best.

We were slowing to make a left turn when we lost all power we coasted to the curb and when I tried to start it there was a clicking as if it was a low battery. After a few minutes it started but ran rough but was able to get it home a few blocks away. Had it towed to a dealer and they could not find the problem. A week later it happened two more times and was able to get to the dealer who could find no problem. We had no more problems for four months and then it happened again. We took it to the dealer for the fourth time and again they could not find anything. We have contacted g.m. Customer svc. Twice and buick customer svc. Who have opened a case file [xxx]. And suggested we contact a buick dealer in oregon when we get home. We live in oregon and spend winters in calif. So now we must drive a 1000 miles not knowing when or if our car will suddenly die.
