Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2005 Cadillac CTS

Vehicle dealer refused to perform open recalls. I replaced front brake hoses myself at my own cost. They stated very high mileage 184000 miles and you did not buy the car here.

The brake lines have rusted through as I was driving 50mph. We lost all brakes and nearly hit a car/tree. The vehicle was purchased in WI, located in FL now, and has 120k miles. The leak is close to the fuel filter - and clearly visible.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that the brake lines prematurely corroded with extesive rust and were replaced more than twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the brake lines once and the contact also had an independent mechanic who replaced the brake lines and the failure occured again. The contact stated that within weeks the brake pedal was applied and it went to the floor. The vehicle was to be taken back to the dealer for repairs due to the failure. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 10v105000 ( service brakes, hydraulic) and 15v225000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000. Dyd.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Cadillac Cts. The contact had stated while driving approximately 55 mph, when the brake pedal was depressed, the pedal was either easy to depress and able to touch the floor or it could become difficult to depress. The failures would effect the vehicle's vehicle stopping distance. The "brake fluid" warning light was continuously illuminated until there was brake fluid inserted into the reservoir. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for a diagnosis and the mechanic stated that the the brake hose-tube interface developed a leak and the hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures,however,the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign:10v105000(service brakes, hydraulic). The approximate failure mileage was unavailable. Gb.

The contact owns a 2005 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the brakes failed without warning. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that both front brake hose assemblies needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v105000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 140,000.

While applying the brakes from highway speed, both front brake hoses ruptured. Brake fluid was lost and braking was obviously diminished a great deal.

I was driving to work this morning and I lost complete brake pressure in my 2005 Cadillac Cts. I was able to stop just before I rear ended the car in front of me by continuing to push down hard on the brake pedal. I tried to pump the brakes and the pressure would not come back. I immediately took my car to the local firestone who told me that the brake lines had corroded and needed to be replaced by the dealership. I took my car to the local Cadillac dealership who will be replacing all the brake lines in my car because they are all corroded. At least 2 of the brake lines are so corroded that they are leaking.
