Was driving and service brake assist message came on two days ago along with the abs t/c light on the dash. I had no idea what it meant so I've kept driving. About an hour ago I was getting ready to park into my garage and the brakes would not work and I almost crashed into a parked car. Again the service brake assist light came on. I'm 7 months pregnant and this is my only transportation. I'm not looking to get into an accident due to my brakes failing. My service air bags message also comes up and even with a passenger in the car it doesn't state that the passenger air bag is on. I am pretty sure both of these issues were part of a recall but I hadn't owned the car during that time. As of now this car is a fatal accident waiting to happen and I'm unsure as to why there isn't still an open recall to address this brake failure issue.

My back center brake light no longer works and since this was pointed out to me earlier this month, I have noticed at least four other Cts cars with the same issue. They range from my year ('06) to at least 2009. And when quoted a price ($600+!) I balked at having it replaced. Anyone else notice this or have this issue?.

My 2007 Cadillac Cts has had problem after problem since I purchased it used at 60,000 miles!! I am now experiencing seriously dangerous & hazardous brake issues when parking &/or turning the wheel all the way!! the brakes pulsate & go to the floor but fail to stop!! the service brake light comes on & the abs/tc light as well, but then will go off before I can make it to the dealer!! when I parked on a hill my car failed to stay parked & started to drift backwards down the hill so I had to jump in & hit the brakes manually!! also the passenger airbag light doesn't recognize when someone is in the passenger seat. The service airbag light would come on the dash & information center then now it is staying on at 90,000 miles. I contacted GMC about the brake issues & they told me there was no recalls for any brake issues!! I also asked about the recall for the airbag for my 2007 vehicle but they informed me it wasn't for my VIN # but it is having the same exact issues as the recall!! someone is going to get seriously injured due to these hazards!! GMC/Cadillac needs to step up & correct these issues before it is to late!! how many more people have to get injured, die, or complain before these issues are addressed!!! this is supposed to be a luxury car but it is more like a junk car death trap!!!!.
"Cadillac recall" the brakes did not function properly on the vehicle. The brake light came on and at times the car did not immediately stop when brakes were pressed. As a result, I could no longer drive the vehicle and had to find other means of transportation. In addition, recalls and issue with this car have made the news.

I am the owner of this 2007 gm product. I took my car to frankel Cadillac 1/09/15 , invoice number 60596 and I was never notified that there were recommended recalls on my vehicle. On that date there were some problems related to the wiring on the abs and ebtm and I denied the service to be done there because I was quoted a cost of over 2,500 dollars and I was informed that it might escalate to 3500 if an abs pump needed to be replaced also. I later had the work done at young's located in woodlawn for a lot less. I now problems with the power train and the anti theft system and have the auto in gregg's repair , 5050 wabash Ave. I also saw on line that the on star operation is able to release the anti theft mode. I have been quoted a price of 886 dollars plus change by gregg's Cadillac . I am able to drive the vehicle, but in order to get the key out, the battery has to be disconnected. I am perplexed that I was never notified about the recalls on this vehicle. With all of the noted problems I was in motion. I was stopped by the police for the brake light in the city and I was driving on the highway when the anti theft mode went into operation.
Every time I turn a hard left or right into a parking space my car looses its breaks & my service brakes assist light goes on.
Ebcm failure traction control, abs, and brake lights are all on.
The contact owns a 2003 Cadillac Cts. The contact stated while driving various speeds the third brake light would not illuminate upon depressing the brake pedal and the rear brake light plastic panel housing was faulty. In addition, the center of the frame exhibited severe corrosion. The defect was not diagnosed nor was it repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect. The failure mileage was unavailable.
I purchased this car as a used vehicle from atlantic Cadillac in bay shore new york in April 2011. Several times since this purchase I have had trouble stopping. The brakes fail and service brake assist lights up on my dash. Also the abs and the traction control symbols light up on the dash. I have had the car to the dealer several times for this problem. I am told they cannot duplicate the problem. This is no way to handle a brake situation. This is very dangerous. I had my daughter in the car this morning in the school parking lot. Which I might add was full of students and cars, busses. This problem must be addressed before someone is killed. As soon as this happened this mornning I called the dealer again only to be given the same response the problem cannot be duplicated. I was not happy with how I was being treated at atlantic Cadillac so the last few times I had problems I went to a dealer closer to my-home. King orouorke 756 smithtown bypass smithtown 631-724-4700.
Every time I turn a hard left into a parking space or any hard left my car looses its breaks & my service brakes assist light goes on. I have had my car in the shop twice & they cant seem to figure out what is causing the problem. It is a very dangerous problem. If anyone else has had this same problem and have the cause figured out please let Cadillac know.
Cadillac Cts was rented, oct 1, 2009, at 9:00 pm, at charlotte airport. My husband was driving the Cts home on josh birmingham parkway. I was behind him in our car. We were both on the right-hand side of the road, near the old dowd road overpass. My husband signaled me that he was moving to the shoulder to stop. I was right behind him, on the shoulder. He slowed to less than 5mph. I saw his brake lights. But, his car didn't stop. It continued to roll forward at a weirdly slow speed. Brakes? then slowly, at a very slight angle, the right tire rolled off the shoulder. The rear tires followed. Steering? off-road, it crosses the ditch to the right. His left front tire hits an aluminum barricade. The end is buried into the ground. The Cts turned violently to the left. Wheels straddled the railing, "riding" it. It lurched as the undercarriage hit each post. Sparks showered down. Once all the tires were off the ground, the Cts came to a stop. The wheels were still turning, as I walked up to his door. My husband was slumped over and unresponsive. His seatbelt was on. Airbags? they had not deployed. I called 911. 10 minutes later fire, emt and police arrived. I was in shock, so the police report had major errors. It claims the car "rolled-over. " no! claims the car left the road at 45mph and hit the barricade. No! that his death was caused by an unrelated medical condition. No! the coroner's official report clearly states the cause of death was due to "blunt force trauma from the accident". ) the police officer who wrote the official report went on vacation for weeks. Report was never corrected by me. Gm analyzed sdm data (Dec 2009). Their date for the accident was wrong, Nov 1, 2009. They claim the sdm exonerates the Cadillac Cts. They blamed the accident on operator error. I know my husband was an exceptionally safe driver, expert mechanic and avid car enthusiast for 50 years.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Cts. While turning right at any speed with the brakes engaged the vehicle would not stop. The vehicle would not stop until the steering wheel was returned to a straightened position. The failure recurred intermittently while braking and making right turns. The failure recurred more frequently during rainy conditions. During the failures a brake assist light would also illuminate on the dashboard. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified and the contact was told the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 10v105000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 78,000. Sm.
I drive a 2003 Cadillac Cts. I noticed the brakes seemed to need repair (not responsive enough) and the "brake light" came on. My car had approx 70000 miles and the brake lines had corroded! I have the brake lines that were removed. A car with 70k miles should not have corroded brakelines. In addition, it took almost 2 weeks to get replacement parts and cost $250 to repair + rental car. This was a really bad accident waiting to happen.
