2 Automatic Stability Control (asc) problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2003

The 2003 Cts is equipped with stability system. Seems that the stability system can fail whereas it engages at high speed and momentarly applies braking to one wheel. Dealer (mcginnis Cadillac) stated it wasn't possible, bit discovered during atest drive that it was indeed. After a week of trial and error they discovered a bad sensor in the wheel. Imagine traveling at 70mph and having one wheel momentarly lock up due to an onboard system. Has the potential of dragging the car out of it's lane, perhaps even under a large freight truck. Perhaps flipping the car as well.
