I have been purchasing brake pads every six months. There is a loud squeaking noise on the brakes. I have reviewed recalls, but nothing has been replaced. I have not received any letters concerning the recalls. The two recalls are 99V244000 (hydraulic:lines) and 00V196000 (hydraulic lines). Jim burke Buick needs to repair whatever needs to be done. Something is wrong with my brakes, but I am not quite sure.
