I have a 2006 Cts cadilliac and my abs light comes on and there have been several times my car wouldn't stop and I had to quickly put it in park not to have an accident.
While very slowly turning into a parking spot my 2006 Cadillac Cts acted as though the abs was engaging and would not stop. I had to manually put the transmission into park to stop. This has now happened 4 times under similar scenarios. Each time this happens 'service brake assist' appears on the driver display and the t/c and abs lights come on. After the car has been shut off and then restarted the display is normal, dash light s are out and things work normal, until it does it again. I am in canada, but after researching this problem have found many, many similar incidences and felt adding to the list may help to engage gm to issue a recall.
The car will not stop when turning into parking spaces, coming up to stop lights or going down hills. When this started happening, I thought I just needed new brakes. I went to the mechanic and replaced my brakes and got new tires, but the issue continued. In order to stop, I have to put the car in park while it is rolling. I pump the brakes, but that does not help. I have almost rear-ended vehicles while coming to stop lights. I have almost ran into light poles while parking my car. I have rolled out into the street on numerous occasions because the vehicle will not stop. All of these examples happen sporadically but often. My traction light and abs light come on and I receive a warning on my dash stating "service brake assist". I have been very lucky so far that I have not been in or caused an accident, but I am extremely fearful that eventually this will happen.

The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repairs. The contact called the manufacturer and was advised that the rotors had likely become worn. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Pulling into a parking space at my childs daycare facility and my traction control light and abs light came on as vehicle was stopping and began to accelerate then came to a stop. To my understanding gm has not issued a recall or a fix.

This has been a recurring intermittent problem when making a right braking turn at less than 5mph. The abs light comes on and the brake pedal goes to the floor and I have to pump the brakes very hard and press down very hard to stop the car otherwise I hit the parking space stop. Many people have posted the same experience with the 2006 Cts and they are told the same thing from the dealer that I was. They were not able to recreate the problem. I was told by the dealer that I had to replace the brake pads which another mechanic told me was not necessary since the pads still had 50% left on them. This is a big issue on this car and someone is going to get hurt.
Abs light comes on and vehicle will not brake at slow speeds while turning. Very dangerous!.
