2 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2003 Cadillac CTS

Failure Date: 11/13/2012

As I was driving down the highway, the stability control light came on, then the brakes seemed to jerk a little and the car lost most of it's power. I had a mechanic test it, and they said they couldn't find a reason for it. The stability control light stayed on, but I didn't seem to have the problem again until about 2-3 months later when I was going 70 down the highway, lost all power and the motor shut down. Cadillac would not restart, had to have it towed over 2 hours back home, only to find that this time the timing belt had broken and the motor is blown since these cars have interference motors which causes the valves to get bent when the timing belt breaks. I am now without a vehicle and was almost in 2 accidents due to this. Another issue is the light cover from the lights on the trunk came off in the car wash and broke. Apparently this is a known issue yet Cadillac refuses to fix it. Their adhesive was not strong enough to hold on the plastic. This was my first Cadillac, and will be my last. They are dangerous and they refuse to fix their failures.

3 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2008 Cadillac CTS

Failure Date: 12/27/2011

On the morning of December 27, 2011 the stability trac system light came on indicating that it had failed. The car did not react properly and the steering wheel was uncontrollable leading to an accident. The car did a 360 and hit a guard rail. The stabilitrac was repaired just a month prior at a Cadillac dealership, but still operated incorrectly. This incident put my life at danger and has caused me to believe that the stabilitrac system was not fixed properly at all. A certified mechanic has taken a look at the car and confirmed that the stabilitrac system was dysfunctional. At this point, I don't feel comfortable driving the car, even after it's repaired. My business consists of me driving frequently and I fear that if I continue to drive the vehicle there is a possibility that the results could be worse if the system fails again.

I have a 2003 Cadillac Cts with 52,000. Miles . . I bought it new /demo with 4,000. Miles on it. In the last two years I have had the car in the repair shop at the dealership 4x. The stability engaged system light appears and the car pulls to the left and the accelerator pedal vibrates. They can not fix and have replaced several areas of front end. Sse light still appears and is now more frequent. Yesterday it happened 6x in 20 min. I got off at the next exit and then upon brake pressure, vibrating pedal, abs engaged. I have been to many forums to try to find a fix for this problem to no avail. This problem is increasing and the car pulling and vibrating is going to cause an accident. Is that what it's going to take to demand this problem be repaired?you have to look into this problem. It is very numerous and gm is ignoring the problem or worse yet they don't know how to fix it. . . Please help!.

8 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2003 Cadillac CTS

Failure Date: 03/15/2010

I have a Cts Cadillac and it is seems to have a system problem. While driving the car the stability system engaged lights comes up and you hear a grinding noise. It has jerked on me a few times when this light comes on. GMC does not want to hear about the problem they do nothing. This is a dangerous situation for the driver because you have no idea when this light is going to come on and the car starts grinding and moving. I feel that GMC should take responsibility for this and do a re-call. I have purchased new tires, I have done what I thought would fix the problem, but this light is really scaring me and the way the car grinds and makes this noise while driving.
