This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

Caliper are connecting to the brake pads. Vehicle will pull to oneside, right, if it locks, and it rips to side/ it's pulling. Brakes high noise as a warning that's it's going bad.

Consumer was traveling about 20mph on a side street and heard a noise from underneath vehicle coming from brakes. It was metal to metal noise. Dealership was aware of problem. There was an accident.
When applying brakes, pedal stiffens and vehicle pulls to the right. Sometimes the brakes lock up, allowing vehicle to keep going after application of brakes. Calipers and rotors have already been repaired twice.
Rotors overheat which causes warping. Also, brake pads are too hard and heavy and cause the rotors to overheat and warp. The brake shoes are absolutely perfect. GM motor stated that the government requires the manufacturer to use these pads.
