TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CADILLAC STS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILED AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED MOVING FORWARD. THE CONTACT CRASHED THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE INTO A DITCH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO RIMROCK CADILLAC GMC (LOCATED AT 840 SHILOH RD, BILLINGS, MT 59106, (406) 651-5000). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ENGINE/ ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE POWER LOSS OCCURS, BRAKES AND STEERING LOSE PROPER FUNCTIONALITY CREATING A THREAT TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. THE VEHICLE THEN IS UNRESPONSIVE TO THE PROPER STARTING PROCEDURE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IS INCONSISTENT. IT MAY START IMMEDIATELY UPON COMMAND OR IT MAY CAUSE A THEFT PROCEDURE TO INITIATE. THE VEHICLES DIC WILL POSSIBLY SHOW THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS JUST BEFORE THE SHUTDOWN FAILURE OCCURS; SERVICE VEHICLE SOON, SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM SOON, SERVICE A/C SYSTEM SOON. DURING THE SHUTDOWN FAILURE, NO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE OPERABLE BUT POWER IS STILL AVAILABLE TO THE CAR ALLOWING THE DIC TO PROMPT 'NO FOB DETECTED' OR 'THEFT ATTEMPTED' AND THE FOB WILL INTERMITTENTLY ALLOW YOU TO SEND LOCK/ UNLOCK COMMANDS DURING THE SHUTDOWN FAILURE. THE FAILURE HAPPENS IN ANY SCENARIO AND IS INTERMITTENT IN THE ASPECT OF NO FAILURE OCCURS FOR A WEEK OR 5 FAILURES OCCUR IN A DAY. I CANNOT DETERMINE WHEN THE FAILURES BEGAN HAPPENING CONSIDERING I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH 155000 MILES AND THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY 3 OF MY OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A MIDLAND MICHIGAN CADILLAC DEALERSHIP BEING DIAGNOSED.

VEHICLE DETECTS FAULT AND DISPLAYS MESSAGE TO SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. SPECIFIC PROBLEM NOT YET DIAGNOSED. WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS, THE DISPLAY STATES THAT ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THIS CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AS THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO 10-15 MPH. PRESSING GAS PEDAL CAUSES TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT TO LOWER GEAR SLOWING VEHICLE FURTHER. CANNOT SAFELY MANEUVER IN TRAFFIC, BRAKES REQUIRE MUCH HIGHER PEDAL PRESSURE DUE TO LOW VACUUM BOOST AFTER ENGINE POWER REDUCED. INSUFFICIENT WARNING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. PROBLEM IS NOT WITH ENGINE OR POWERTRAIN, BUT ENGINE POWER IS CUT (ENGINE RUNS VERY ROUGH AS A RESULT) IN RESPONSE TO DETECTED STABILITY SYSTEM ERROR. ENGINE RUNS FINE IF TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. NO OVERHEATING, OIL LEVEL IS FINE, GASOLINE IS GOOD, NO EXTERNAL PROBLEMS. AFTER RESTARTING CAR DRIVES FINE INITIALLY, EVENT RECURS WITHIN 1 MILE. VERY DIFFICULT TO TRY TO JUSTIFY THIS KIND OF INTENTIONAL VEHICLE CONTROL BEHAVIOR. EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN THAT CAUSES AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHEN A STABILITY SYSTEM ERROR IS DETECTED.

2011 Cadillac STS
Hampstead, NC
SERVICE BRAKES
WE OWN A 2011 CADILLAC STS. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT THE HOUSE SHAKE. MY WIFE WAS REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL WAS SO HARD SHE COULD NOT PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN. TO AVOID A CRASH SHE PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE TO KEEP IT FROM GOING INTO THE STREET. ONCE SHE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE STREET SHE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, BUT THE BRAKES WERE STILL NOT RESPONDING. THATS WHEN OUR HOME BECAME OUR CAR STOPPER. I DROVE THE CAR AFTERWARDS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STILL HARD AND WOULD NOT HOLD THE CAR FROM MOVING WHEN IT WAS PUT INTO GEAR. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 3 TO 4 HOURS LABOR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THAT AT $149.99 PER HOUR. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD A VEHICLE IN EARLIER SAYING THE SAME THING AND THEY PRETTY MUCH REPLACED ALL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE CAR AT THE COST OF OVER $3900.00. THAT IS CRAZY TO ME SO I WENT THROUGH THE CAR MYSELF. I REPLACED ALL BRAKES AND ROTORS, REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID AND BLEED THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM. ALL THAT FOR THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE SINCE TRACED THE ELECTRICAL SIDE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE VACUUM BRAKE ASSIST FUSE UNDER THE HOOD WAS BLOWN. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE BUT AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE BRAKE IT BLOWS THE FUSE AGAIN.

ON JUNE 9, 2016 I WAS DRIVING ON A WET ROAD SO WHEN I TRIED TO STOP IT TOOK AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF DISTANCE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I FIGURED THE BRAKES GOT A LITTLE WET CAUSING THE PROBABLE. THE NEXT DAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. TRAFFIC STOPPED AHEAD OF HER STOPPED SO SHE TRIED TO STOP. WITH BOTH LEGS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDALS THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. SHE WAS ALMOST KILLED SINCE SHE HAD TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. THE CAR ONLY HAS 57000 MILES ON IT SO FIGURED THE CAR HAD A LOT OF LIFE IN IT. NOT ANYMORE. THE DEALER (ED MORSE IN TAMPA) HAS MADE A PRELIMINARY INSPECTION AND LOOKS LIKE THE CAR IS TOTALED. THIS ALL HAPPED ON A 45 MPH ROAD WITH LOTS OF ROOM TO MOVE ABOUT BUT NOT AT A RED LIGHT. I GUESS I NEED TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN CADILLAC FOR QUALITY AS MUCH AS I LIKED THE CAR.

4/14 - CAR WAS SHUTTING OFF INTERMITTENTLY, PULLED OVER IN HOTEL PARKING LOT AND A GENTLEMEN CAME UP TO CAR TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS SMOKING, GOT OUT AND THERE WAS A FIRE AT THE REAR OF THE CAR. RAN INTO HOTEL AND GOT FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT IT OUT, HAD TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. THERE DETERMINED THAT THE TERMINAL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP OVER HEATED AND MELTED A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE PUMP, CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT AND CATCH FIRE -$6000 WORTH OF DAMAGE, ONLY USED PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX CAR. 8/14 RECALL WAS RELEASED ABOUT FUEL MODULE AND HARNESS. 6/15 - CALLED DEALER ABOUT UNRELATED ISSUE (DOOR LOCK), VIN# WAS RAN AND WAS TOLD PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX RECALL. I MENTIONED I DID NOT RECEIVE THE LETTER THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND WAS TOLD DEALER HAD TO ORDER THEM, 4 DAYS LATER PARTS CAME IN AND WORK WAS SCHEDULED. CAR WAS THERE FOR 10 DAYS "HAVING TROUBLE GETTING PARTS". WHEN CAR WAS PICKED UP THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOW OFF ONLY READING 3/4 WHEN FULL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. TOLD HARNESS IS NOT AVAILABLE TO FINISH RECALL AND IT WILL TAKE CARE OF BOTH PROBLEMS. THIS SAFETY RECALL IS BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE TORN INTO CAR IF ALL PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. CAR IS DUE FOR INSPECTION 9/15 AND AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON AND NOW THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ AT ALL. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM CADILLAC AND THE DEALERSHIP. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT GET PARTS TO FIX RECALL, WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION, AND I CAN NOT SELL IT OR TRADE IT IN.

MY 2005 CADILLAC STS BRAKES LOCKED UP AND CAUSED MY CAR TO CRASH. AFTER RESEARCH I AM SHOWING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, WHEN CHANGING GEARS YOU CAN HEAR THE GEARS CHANGING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I RESEARCHED THIS AS WELL AND APPARENTLY THERE IS A DEFECT AND RECALL ON THE AXLE. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE THAT I JUST PURCHASED FOR ALITTLE OVER 7 MONTHS. THERE IS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AS I AM DRIVING, THE HOOD AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF MY HOOD BEING AJAR. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS AS THOUGHT IT IS GOING OUT AS WELL. BEFORE I CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY I WANTED TO FIRST GIVE GMC AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUES. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, MY REVERSE LIGHTS HAS NEVER WORKED. THE UNKNOWN OTHER WOULD BE THE AXLE AND TRANSMISSION.

MY WIFE WENT TO THE LOCAL GAS STATION AND AS SHE WAS PULLING IN SHE MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN PAST THE PUMPS TO PARK. SHE HIT THE BRAKES AND THE CAR SPED UP. SHE SLAMMED THEM HARDER AND IT SLIGHTLY SLOWED DOWN BUT SHE HIT 2 GUARD RAILS AND THEN CRASHED INTO THE CINDERBLOCK WALL DESTROYING THE FRONT BUMPER, BOTH FRONT FENDERS, HEADLIGHTS AND THE INTERNAL ALUMINUM BUMPER WAS CRUSHED AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF BUT SHE WAS NOT HURT. SHE SAID THE CAR SPED UP WHILE THE BRAKES WERE DEPLOYED. ALSO, AFTER SHE HIT THE WALL SHE TRIED TO PUT THE CARD IN REVERSE BUT SHE HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO ACTUALLY GO IN REVERSE. THE CAR IS AT THE MECHANIC BEING FIXED AT THIS TIME BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SPEEDING UP INSTEAD OF STOPPING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED... THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID IT WAS UP TO ME TO FIND THE CAUSE. SOMEONE FROM CADILLAC OR NHTSA NEEDS TO COME AND LOOK AT THIS BEFORE THE CAR IS FIXED.

CAR (2006 CADILLAC STS) WAS BEING DRIVEN, THREE OCCUPANTS IN VEHICLE, WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND WENT TO THE FLOOR UPON BRAKING FOR AN INTERSECTION. THROUGH PUMPING THE BRAKES, CAR WAS ABLE TO BE STOPPED. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WAS LIMPED HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. TOW SERVICE WAS CALLED AND CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED (A NON CADILLAC DEALERSHIP). THAT DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT ALL FOUR METAL BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THE CAR WAS THEN SENT TO THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, WHICH ALSO STATED THAT ALL FOUR METAL BRAKE LINES HAD CORRODED TO THE POINT TO WHERE THEY WERE ALL LEAKING. THE BACKGROUND ON THE CAR IS THAT WE ARE THE SECOND OWNER. IT WAS PURCHASED SEVEN MONTHS AGO (FEB. 2012) FROM THE USED CAR INVENTORY OF A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS A LOCAL TRADE-IN. THE AREA THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SINCE NEW IS THE PIEDMONT AREA OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 70 MILES FROM THE COAST, AN AREA WITH MILD WINTERS (RARE TO GET SNOW OR ICE). CONCERN IS THE COMPLETE, SIMULTANEOUS FAILURE OF ALL FOUR METAL BRAKE LINES IN A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD, WHICH HAS RESIDED IN A MILD CLIMATE. AS OF THIS WRITING, THE BRAKE LINES HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED/REPLACED; CURRENTLY TRYING TO WORK TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH ALL PARTIES INVOLVED.

SIMULTANEOUSLY, SEVERAL DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON, INCLUDING ANTI-LOCK BRAKE, TRACTION AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNINGS. CALL WAS MADE TO INSURANCE COMPANY AND VEHICLE TOWED TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID CAUSE OF THE WARNING LIGHT WAS A BOLT NEAR WIRE TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKE POWER CONTROL MODULE HAD WORN INSULATION OFF, CAUSING FAILURE OF POWER CONTROL MODULE.IF INDEED LIGHTNING/POWER SURGE DID NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM, IMPROPERLY LOCATED BOLT OR DESIGN WOULD SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE.

2009 CADILLAC STS LOST ALL OR MOST BRAKE FLUID. THIS CAR HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 22000 MILES. MULTIPLE WARNINGS ON PANEL. DEALER FOUND THAT THE LEFT REARF BRAKE CALIPER WAS LEAKING FLUID UNDER PRESSURE AT THE POINT WHERE THE BRAKE HOSE CONNECTS. CALIPER AND HOSE WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT IF THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IT MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS WHEN ALL BRAKES FAIL WITH NO FLUID LEFT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND, HOPEFULLY, IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT WIDESPREAD.
