general problems of the 2007 Cadillac CTS

Brakes failed. This happened at low speed and control was kept of the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was seen the flexible brake line connecting the driver's side brake caliper had separated at the point it transitions from rubber to metal. It happened immediately after turning right at a stop light and there was no warning. The design of the transition meant that there was no leak of fluid (warning) until the connection had corroded to the point it lost its strength, failed and completely detached. The local gm dealership was called and they advised there was no recall and would only work on the vehicle for payment, so it was not taken to them. The components were replaced on both sides. Old parts have been kept.

My car has moments where I have to slam hard on the. Rakes for it to stop. I thought it was my brakes but I had them changed and it still does it and flashes a sign that says �no traction control�. Also my left turn signal does not work on the inside as if there's a mechanical glitch. And I have a �service aitbag code� constantly.

As I was backing out of a parking space and proceded to drive forward and to come to a stop the brake pedal went straight to the floor I almost rear ended another vehicle as I hit the emergency brake in time to stop my question is there a recall for this as it never gave warning anything was wrong on the dash or otherwise.

I noticed that occasionally my car brakes would stop working a push back at me with a pulsing feeling when I was trying to stop. This happened to me 6-7 times intermittently when driving very slowly and turning, it wasn't something that I could re-create each time. Next I received an intermittent in-dash message that stated "service brake assist" that would come on for a few seconds then disappear. It didn't always appear when the brakes were not working. This would typically happen when parking in a parking space, slowly making a sharp turn. I actually hit concrete parking buffer one day because I couldn't stop. In taking my car to the dealer I was told the elecronic brake control module needed to be replaced. And that the right front wheel and hub bearing needed to be replaced due to the ebcm. The cost was about $2000. 00. I've researched this issues and am seeing many Cts owners with the same issue. I feel this needs to be addressed. The public needs to be notified that this is an issue with the vehicle. It is extremely scary to find out that your brakes are not working. I have two small children that travel with me often. Vehicle owners need to be aware of the brake issue with this vehicle and Cadillac needs to be responsible in fixing the problem and not waiting for people to bring in their cars until their brakes are not working. Brakes are a must have on a car and this is a public safety issue.

Most often when driving at speeds 15 mph or less and doing a turn (such as parking or going through a drive through), you cannot push in the brake pedal and stop the vehicle. You have to to rapidly press and depress the brake pad until the brakes engage and stops the vehicle before hitting the vehicle in front of you or some other object. I have also experienced this during an emergency stop at highway speeds. The vehicle has been to the dealer for repair. They were supposed to have fixed the problem. $1000 later the same problem is present. Second issue with this vehicle, the anti-theft system periodically trips itself and the car cannot start for approximately 10 minutes.

I was driving on I-75 in monroe, michigan. When another vehicle ventured or steered into my lane, where my my 2007 Cadillac Cts was cut off/bumped causing a frontal and back impact to the vehicle. The car bags did not deploy, the brakes did not stop the car and the ignition switch locked. According to the insurance company, the car was a total loss.

The contact owns a 2007 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the front brake pulsated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic for inspection. The front rotors were found to be worn and the rear axle seal was corroded. The front rotors were replaced but the rear axle seal was not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000 and the approximate current mileage was 50,400.

After purchase of my Cts, I noticed the brakes screeching and pulsing. I've had my brakes redone 3 times and I still have squeaking and pulsing issues. I took my car to a cadillas dealer after they had charged me $600 for a brake pad only job to check my brakes as they were still pulsing when stopping on uneven pavement, and they kept if for a day and told me my brakes were fine even though they were still pulsing. They charged me $85 for looking at my brakes which was a rip off since I still have the problem. Air bags, I took my car in for the air bag recall repair. Within a year I have the same problem. They clearly are not fixing the problem. My cadillas is beautiful but I fear it may cost me my life one day if cadillas doesn't step up and expose these problems and make the repairs.

No brakes during slow right turn into a parking space. Brake pedal began to pulsate, car was not stopping as it should but stopped at a concrete barrier, the braking recovered. Problem first started on Jan. 2012. Took car to Cadillac of las vegas for diagnostics. Invoice no. 419185. Dealer was unable to recreate problem. The same problem recurred approximately one year later, 2013 but car has not been taken to dealership since due to other personal issues.

Cadillac Cts 2007 fails to stop when turning to the right at low speeds as when parking, problem is intermittent but often enough to happen twice per/week. Hit another vehicle while parking. A person had just crossed in between the two cars and could had being crushed.

When coming to a stop from a slow speed the vehicle would not stop. I experienced this on several occasions, usually when driving in a neighborhood or pulling into a parking stall. I noticed that it only occurred when driving under 10-15mph. It would feel as if my brakes were slipping. My car would continue to ease forward, the brake pedal would pulsate and my entire front deck of the car would shake. To remedy the problem I would be forced to either pump my brakes, immediately shift the vehicle into park position, or remove the car keys. Thankfully, there has not been any impact and no one has been injured. My vehicle was covered under a certified-preowned luxury warranty offered through general motors. The local dealership serviced this car for this issue in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. All repairs would seem to temporarily mask the problem, but then it would reoccur. My warranty expired on may of 2013. In July 2013 I notified them that the brake issue was beginning again and at a higher frequency than before. The local dealership understood the history of the problem and was going to offer the repair out of good will even with the expired warranty because it's been a documented issue with my vehicle. The warranty should fix the problem, since it hasn't, in my opinion, it should be covered. However, their claim was denied by general motors. General motors is refusing to fix my vehicle unless I pay for approximately $600 of the cost. I cannot afford $600 and feel that this should be the expense of general motors. I have 3 children and I work full time. This is a safety issue. I could drive into another car, oncoming traffic, a business establishment, a child. My vehicle should stop when the brake pedal is pressed immediately. I am highly dissatisfied with general motors attention to this and am making all the necessary documentation to ensure that this is not ignored.

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?.

The failure has recently recurred. The vehicle will be taken to the authorized dealer for repair. The failure mileage was 5630 and current mileage was 5727. Updated 09/10/08 updated 09/11/08.

2007 Cadillac Cts, when brakes is depressed brakes becomes hard and car does not stop, this occurs quite often once every 2 weeks, I have taken the car to the dealer twice, and both time they told me that they could not find any problems.

My Cadillac Cts has a manual shift transmission. Unfortunately Cadillac installed a foot emergency brake on my car. When stopped on a hill the vehicle rolls backwards when you engage the gear because they installed a foot emergency brake instead of a hand emergency brake. With a hand brake you can ease off the brake while you engage the drive train. With the foot brake you cannot ease off the emergancy brake its either on or off. This creates a problem when setting on an hill. Its impossible to keep the car from moving backwards when engaging the drive train on a hill.
