general problems of the 2012 Cadillac CTS

The contact owns a 2012 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed and the awd inadvertently deactivated, causing the vehicle to lose motive power. The service brake assist, check engine, traction control, abs, and stabili-trak warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to two independent mechanics; however, no failure was found. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 11v536000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

There have been a collection of other VIN numbers for this year make and model for the symptoms I have been experiencing since taking ownership in 2019. The vehicle will stall while running and randomly disable all wheel drive, traction control, abs, and send check engine light on causing me amdy son on infinite number of times to almost be hit in the middle of amd intersection, after a stop sign at low speeds, upon turning the wheels into or put of driveway, parking spaces and worst off at 60 mph on a freeway. This has resulted in multiple near accidents as the vehicle randomly disables itself. It occurs mostly after pressing the brakes to shift gears and almost always causes the vehicle to become inoperable for over an hour where it sits as there is no option to disable awd or choose from fwd or rwd. It happens in manual mode (or called performance mode) as well as automatic mode and has been occurring for 5 and a half years. I have been charged an exorbitant amount for supposed repairs from. Dealers and mechanics who have claimed to fix it and I have severe autoimmune disease, a foot prosthetic, and a minor child I have to transport to and from. School in the car. My issue and warning lights and symptoms mirror the recall of the VIN numbers the manufacturer has performed the recall repair on exactly and yet I have been sent from dealers who refuse to check the part that's defective which is I believe the hydrolic brake rod to the brake petal. The bold needs to be simply retorqued to the proper torque to fix the problem as it was either assembled improperly torqued and or can loosen over time resulting in dangerous and immediate and unexpected complete loss of power to the vehicle allowing people to slam into you at any time. I have had it towed numerous times after these incidents. All features, climate control, locks, entertainment, windows and everything functions when this happens. I have replaced batteries, brakes, oil changes etc. Unresolved.
