The rotors warped prematurely.

Factory replacement of defective seat belt retractor Sept 1998 same as before. This dangerous problem persists; service manager told me that Buick could do nothing. Passenger can extend seat belt, but it often folds & jams, leaving 1-2 ft of loose belt which voids the safety of seat belt. Warped brake rotors were replaced. The defective power steering problem is a known defect to Buick who has last week suggested a trial of changing hoses.
