2011 Buick Enclave Brakes Problems

Brakes are not stopping in time they are continuously scrubbing I have changed brakes and rotors and they are continuously scrubbing and not allowing me to stop in time nearly almost ran off the road I have got my brakes inspected but mechanic say there was nothing wrong the place I took it to but there is something wrong with the brakes. There is a electrical problem when it rains things stopped working inside the car every time it rains like my speakers my warning sensors things in that sort. There's also an acceleration issue it is not catching speed it's been doing this since I got the car how to basically mash it to the floor just for the vehicle to go

THE BRAKE SLIDE IS ALUMINUM BLOCKS WITH STAINLESS STEEL PINS. THIS IS IMPROPER DESIGN SINCE A CATALYST ACTION CORRODES THE ALUMINUM CAUSING ALUMINUM OXIDE TO FREEZE THE PINS MAKING THE BRAKES TO SEIZE AGAINST THE ROTOR. THIS BURNS THE PADS AND CAUSED BREAKING AWAY OF PAD MATERIAL. I HAVE ONLY 28000 MILES AND THE BRAKES ARE GONE. ALSO RESULTS IN LOW FUEL MILAGE. POSSIBLE CAUSE OF HIGHWAY ACCIDENT SUCH AS HAPPENED IN SPRING KILLING A WOMAN ON I-65 SOUTH OF INDIANAPOLIS. I WAS FORTUNATE NO PERSONAL ACCIDENT OCCURRED. WROTE GM AND WAS BRUSHED OFF. VEHICLE USED ONLY ON TRIPS WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. BUT BRAKES ARE GONE SO REPLACED BUT WILL NOT FIX GM PROBLEM. BLACK AND POLISHED LIKE BLACK ONYX STONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE SPEED DECREASED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE BLOCK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (PALMEN BUICK IN KENOSHA, WI) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT. THE VIN WAS CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000. *TT *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST MONTH MY CAR LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON CITY STREETS WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO MY BUICK DEALER AFTER THE 2ND OCCURRENCE AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK I NOTICED THAT RIGHT BEFORE I LOST POWER THE SMALL WALLET THAT IS PART OF MY KEY CHAIN HAD FALLEN FROM THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL (WHERE I KEEP IT SO IT DOESN'T HIT MY LEG). THINKING IT MAY HAVE JERKED THE IGNITION SLIGHTLY AND THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF THE POWER ISSUE, I GOOGLED "BUICK ENCLAVE IGNITION ISSUES" WHEN I RETURNED HOME. IMMEDIATELY ALL OF THE GM IGNITION PROBLEMS OF THE PAST FEW YEARS CAME UP; INCLUDING THE FRIGHTENING NEWS THAT MY CAR HAD THE EXACT SAME IGNITION AS THE RECALLED CARS BUT THAT GM BELIEVED SOMETHING ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE ENCLAVE (AND OTHER SUVS IN ITS CLASS) MEANT THAT THE IGNITION WAS NOT A PROBLEM. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IT IS, INDEED, A PROBLEM. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY AND THEY AGAIN CAN "FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT." I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND LET THEM KNOW I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THE IGNITION IS REPLACED. NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING THIS CAR. I SHUDDER TO THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY USUAL CARPOOL OF 5 12-YEAR-OLD BOYS. INDEED, TWICE WHEN I LOST POWER I WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY CHILD. I AM CONVINCED THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THAT EVERYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE CARS MUST BE ALERTED TO THE POSSIBILTIY OF POWER LOSS.

WHEN MY BUICK HAS BEEN ON INCLINE IN THE DRIVE OR REVERSE GEAR, MY BUICK ROLLS BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION OF THE INCLINE WITHOUT STOPPING. IT MAKES IT NECESSARY TO HOLD THE BRAKE WITH ONE FOOT AND ACCELERATE WITH THE OTHER. THE PROBLEM USED TO BE A SMALL ROLL BACK BUT HAS RECENTLY BECOME TO A POINT WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T STOP ROLLING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I'M EXTREMELY WORRIED IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS WITH DRIVEWAYS ON AN INCLINE AS IT WILL MAKE IT HARD TO STOP THE CAR IF A KID IS EITHER IN FRONT OR BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR
