Brake pedal was making a squeaking noise as you depressed the brake. Noise got louder in warmer temperatures and finally bothered me enough to have it looked at. Surprisingly, online research showed it had a TSB recall issued so I brought it in. Parts ordered during previous repair trip, installed during this one.
Releasing electric parking brake after the Volt has sat for a while seems to seize the rear left caliper.rnThe badly scored rotor and defective caliper then releases with a nasty clunking noise. All other rotors are smooth.

ABS & brake lights came on. Power brakes did not work. Towed to dealership, replaced brake switch and reported it as fixed. They ignored "brake module" code bc they thought the switch caused that code. Failed again 2 days later. Back @shop.

Car went back to the shop two more times for same problem. Ultimately diagnosed as bad circuit (short in wire) going into the brake module. Was in the shop a long time but they ultimately got it right.
Brake pads were sticking. I noticed a reduction in electric range and found the rear calipers were much warmer than the front, though not hot. I removed the pads and cleaned the slides so that they would retract from the rotor appropriately.
2700 mi
The parking brake warning light came on saying service parking brake soon.
