It could not detect the car was shifted into park. Dealer quoted $1100 to replace the wiring harness and switch for this well known GM product issue. My preferred mechanic got the part from GM and did the work for a third of that cost.
Rubber pad on parking brake kept coming off. Happened several times. They finally replaced the entire foot pedal arm.

Brakes shudder during last few feet of stopping. Brake pedal spongy. Intermittent problem. 1 per week. Replaced leaking brake booster. Since only a month out of warranty, they only charged me $100.
ABS and Traction control lights came on after driving in heavy rain. Cleared codes and it happened again in the next heavy rain. Cracked rear sensor housing.
At my last oil change it was reported that one side rear brake pads were down to 4mm. This was after new pads the year before. All other pads were well within tolerance. Within a week I could hear scraping. Removed rear passenger side tire and braked and inner pad was worn almost down to the backing plate. Tried to push piston back in to fit new pads but the piston was seized in the caliper. Couldn't find a new one in my area within 2 days wait at a cost of $150.00 plus 450.00 core charge. Found a good used one at Used Parts place for $40.00. Installed, bled the air out of line and am now back on the road. Not a difficult job at all if you have a floor jack and jack stands.

Traction control service message turned on frequently but intermittently - traction control and cruise control disabled when on. Problem diagnosed as brake sensor failed on same circuit - replaced.
"Stabilitrac" light illuminates occasionally after 20 mins of driving. Dealer could not verify concern thru computer, recommended software update ($100), reprogrammed ECM. Cannot verify yet that this solved the issue

TSB for brake squeak. Fix was to change OEM GM brake fluid with a non-GM brake fluid that is DOT 3 compliant. Noise sounded like it came from the pedal armiture itself, however it was the brake fluid not properly coating the seals in the brakes ...
