I have had this recall(SC284) since September 25, 2023 of this year. Also I have called multiple places to have it repaired and I-??ve gotten the run around. They have been so rude! Also now the check engine light has come on the dash so now I-??m getting even more worried about the recall situation.

Brake lamps and park light issues. Wiring harness seems to be overheating causing lamps to keep blowing. No park lights working at all so it seems to be a electrical issue.

Driving about 45 mph on straight road when vehicle suddenly pulled out in front of me. Had to brake very hard. Brakes worked but made a horrible grinding-like vibration under the vehicle. The only analogy that comes close to describing it is it sounded as if there were hard rocks/gravel on top of the brake pads. Has happened every time since when engaging brakes for an emergency-like stop.

Second incident of brake (dealer says emergency brake) causing vehicle vibration. This exiting parking lot. On hard surface at highway speeds experience vibration which ramps up in frequency then ramps down. Have replaced emergency brake shoe. Dealer says brake pad was delaminating and piece of shoe was probably causing vibration by involving other parts during wheel revolution. Notice parking brake lever seems to exceed top range and slip slightly to left. After first repair noticed loud knocking/rattle from right rear quadrant, verified by passenger. Discovered application of normal brake while moving at slow speed stopped most of rattle/knocking; this 2 days ago, then today's incident began again.

When driving at any speed & need to suddenly stop, the vehicle brakes lock up & do not stop the vehicle in time. Basically, the tires lock up & the car continues to skid & screech. This is especially aggravated when the vehicle drives over a pothole or other defect in the roadway while braking or in constant stop-&-go traffic. The vehicle has narrowly missed crashing into other vehicles or structures numerous times. I noticed the problems within a couple of weeks of purchasing the new 2011 car. It feels very dangerous & scary & I'm very uneasy about driving in certain situations because I'm not sure if the car will respond properly in an emergency.
