| 2011 | SERVICE BRAKES | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED A VIOLENT VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BRAKE DRUMS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE DRUMS AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. *TR |
| 2007 | AIR BAGS | MY CAR HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONTAL SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE DOES NOT WORK AGAIN. I HAD IT ONCE REPAIRED DUE TO A RECALL, I BELIEVE IN 2009. NOW IN 2012, I AM HAVING ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE, IN WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (BEEN CONFIRMED BY DEALER). THIS PART SENSES IF THE PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE CAR. THE LIGHT IS ON TELLING ME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICE. MY BRAKES ARE NEW AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY REPLACED, 2 MONTHS AGO, BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH STEPPING ON THE BRAKES. WHEN I DO I SLIDE AND THERE IS AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO AN RV, SLID 8 FEET INTO AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THIS ON-GOING ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY CADILLAC DEALER IN BELLINGHAM, WA. THE DEALER DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS SLIDING BUT TO BE SURE, IT WAS BEST TO CHANGE THE BRAKES. WELL, IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM WONDERING IF IT IS A RECALL. I CAN PHYSICALLY HEAR THE BRAKES LOCK UP, MAKES A GRINDING LIKE NOISE, THEN SLIDES FORWARD. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I AM IN WASHINGTON STATE & THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN WASHINGTON STATE, AS WELL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MORE STATE CAN HAVE THE SAME ISSUES RELATED TO THE OTHER STATES AFFECTED? *TR |
