I filed a complaint in 2016 (complaint no. 10823262) related corrosion of the rear brake lines. This complaint is similar but related to corrosion of the front brake lines in which I again had a similar life threatening experience. The ordinary "corroded" steel lines were replaced with "vinyl coated" lines. I never heard back on the 2016 complaint; what is gm doing to protect caddy owners or alerting them of this situation?.

The brake lines in my 2009 Cadillac Dts are completly corroded,to the point that they are leaking and need to be replaced. I never expected to see plain steel brake lines in a Cadillac, they should have been stainless steel at a minimum. In my opinion this is a safety hazard and should be addressed. The exhaust system is stainless steel and is not needed to stop the car. I bet Honda has stainless steel brake lines. No wonder that more and more people are buying foreign cars.

The contact owns a 2007 Cadillac Dts. The contact stated that while driving 4 mph she applied the brakes when the brake pedal abnormally traveled to the floorboard.

The contact added brake fluid and restarted the vehicle. The failure recurred several minutes after the contact resumed driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the two front brake lines and the one brake line in the rear of the vehicle exhibited severe corrosion. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 54,500.
