Today that recall complaint was no longer showing on the NHTSA site. I've had some braking problems and was told by the dealer my brakes are fine. Steve, the service manager said I no longer had warranty and acted unconcerned. They said it would cost $800 to replace the ebtcm and that might not fix it.

6 Brake Abs Warning Light problem of the 1999 Cadillac Deville

Failure Date: 09/14/2000

My 1999 Cadillac Deville has had two ongoing defects that have not been fixed. The problems began during the first year when the car was under warranty and after many service visits for repair has not been fixed. Two warning indicator lights appear, 1. Traction engaging light and 2. Anti-lock brake light continue to illuminate. At the same time there is an intermittent growling noise and the brakes grab and make the steering difficult. Cadillac is aware of the defects and the car has been at the Cadillac dealer numerous times to correct these two defects but the problems persist. Cadillac state that the car does not meet the criteria for buy back and therefore I am in possession of a car that poses two safety hazards and I am fearful to drive the car and it would be unethical to sell an unsafe car.

The abs warning light keeps coming on. When applying the brakes it feels like they are dragging, and as if the brakes are on the whole time. Dealer can't find the cause of the problem.
