general problems of the 2006 Cadillac Escalade

A vehicle turned across the road in front of me. Stood on the brakes and felt the brakes grab hard. I initially thought I could miss the truck when first applied brakes, then they felt like they released. No pulsing like you would feel when anti-lock has engaged. Just felt like they released. Also, the airbags did not deploy. Vehicle is in the repair shop now and they told me the airbags are turned off. I've owned the vehicle since it was new and know of any reason why they would be off, nor did I know you could turn them off.

The contact owns a 2006 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated that the driver was driving 25 mph and a service stability light illuminated on the instrument panel. The driver then applied the brakes and the pedal depressed to the floor. The vehicle coasted to a stop. The brakes then began to function properly after the vehicle was stopped. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 86,000. The VIN was unavailable.
