The brakes are getting stuck on while I am driving. The most recent occurrence happened while I was on the highway. The car would not accelerate, the whole system was shaking, there was no safe space for me to pull over. This vehicle has a recall for this exact problem but from what the dealer is saying, not my VIN. I find it hard to believe that this has occurred and it is unrelated to a previous recall for faulty brakes on 2011 Buick LaCrosse. Since this incident, the abs light has been on and another dash light has been on. My mechanic believes the brakes getting too hot may have lead to further damage to the abs sensor.

The component is the brakes and the brake pedal while not engaging the brakes they remained on even after the vehicle was shut off.the vehicle brake lights remained on this was not duplicated when I took the car in by the dealer of how the brake remains engaged we even when not being used I would have to release the break by pulling it up with my foot while driving. This was duplicated and witnessed by two others the dealership where I bought the car and a trusted mechanic. which no avai there was no warning light indicating any type of concern prior to it doing this. the brake pedal being slightly stuck my transmission shifts not properly and hot feeling to the car now I have a warning saying that AC will not work due to the overheating of my engine which I believe to have repaired however the repair that was believed to be the problem obviously wasn't the problem because the light still remains on and the fan runs continuously the minute I start the car to the time I shut the car off I live in North Dakota and it is -1 today and the fan continues to run at all times and the warning light is on cooling fan the car lunges at times which is easy to lose control over when it does this it lunges to the point where it physically noticeable and and no warnings of this that a compensation is going to need to be made in my driving with this lunge issue. I do feel this break issue has affected many other parts of the vehicle and the safety associated with these components. Also at times the driver's seat will not move it goes up to the dash or back to the back seat leaving me in a position where I cannot drive the vehicle safely at all. Also the cruise control would not engage because of the brakes being slightly engaged. Took her to the dealership discussed this problem with them and they could not duplicate and it's been going on since I purchased the car It had 30,000 miles on it when I bought it and it continues to do this and I think it's a safety issue

Brake pedal does not raise after applying brakes. Brakes remain engaged causing drag and brake lights stay on. Intermittent problem. Must pull pedal back up to stop braking action and get brake lights to turn off. Dangerous situation that can cause damage to brake rotors and pads to wear out quickly.

Brake pedal does not raise after apply, remains applied and brake lights remain on unwanted when car is in motion and stationary on streets, highways and while turning. GM issued an internal bulletin on 05/11/2018 (see pic5692D) recognizing that this problem exists among 5 of its models (Buick Lacrosse, Buick regal, Cadillac srx, Cadillac xts and Chevrolet Malibu) with the Lacrosse problem beginning 2010 through 2015. Brustolon, a GM dealer in mystic, ct charged me $70.63 to replace the pedal and retainer clips. Given how widespread this problem has been among several GM models for up to 6 years, this repair should be the responsibility of GM as a recall at no cost to the vehicle owner.this situation is a significant safety issue because the brake pedal when depressed remains applied wearing the brakes out prematurely.
