My front passenger side brake keeps locking and overheating. I have replaced the calibers 2 times, my brake pads 2 times and the brake hose all in a period of 3 months. My back rear brake light also gets stuck and stays on after I put my car in park and turn off my car. In order for me to release it, I have to press down firmly on the brake pedal and or restart the car, drive around put it back in park and then press down firmly on the brake pedal for it to turn off. The back rear light staying on and the front passenger brakes overheating happen intermittently multiple times throughout the day or week with no particular pattern. When my front passenger brake overheats, it begins to smoke and shake/vibrate violently which causes me to have to pull the car over and wait about 15min for it to cool down before getting back on the road. No abs lights, no engine lights come on, only a message pops up on my dashboard that says "breaks overheating" and then it goes away on its own after 15minutes. I see that your website has a preliminary announcement but there should be a recall on this issue. On 9/9 I went to radley Cadillac on 3421 jeff davis hwy fredericksburg va 22401 for a diagnostic & they stated that my brake pedal arm, ebc and bpmv need to be replaced b/c it keeps engaging & locking my front passenger brake. I also went to another repair shop for a 2nd opinion on 9/10 & paid another diag fee they stated the same thing, 4637 mine rd, fredericksburg, va 22408 that the brake pedal arm will need to be replaced first as to they believe this is the underlying issue and the code c0161 was present. I was quoted over $2800 - $3500 to get this job done. Neither establishments mentioned this service announcement https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10141352-9999. Pdf , I found this on my own by researching and googling this problem. I am asking that you deem this is a safety issue as to this involves braking and the safety of my vehicle. Thank you.

My car was going 70 on the interstate and the reduced engine power signal came on and my car jerked and started powering down. It was a throttle body issue. Now my cars electrical system won't work, and electronic stability control won't work because of small magnets that had poor design. My car windows don't open. The electrical system shuts of while the car is driving and I can't see my steering panel at all.

Took vehicle into gm chevy dealer today for tire rotation and oil/filter change. No other issues. Dove vehicle home and noticed two lights on dashboard; abs and stabilitrak. Also message on dic indicating to service abs. No issues before dealer service.

When it is warm outside (above 75) when the brakes are applied, the pedal does not return to the neutral position, and the brakes are still engaged. We have to pull up on the brake pedal, and it comes back to neutral.

Brakes stiff when pressed on, but won't slow down right away. Have to push hard really fast to come to quick stop. Usually after just starting up the vehicle and beginning to back up. Since I purchased it (used) in July 2019.

Went to stop on four separate occasions (so far) and my brake peddle went to the floor. Had to run out of my lane to miss the car in front of me. . . . . . Very dangerous!!! mileage 134,000.

Brakes are constantly locking up as I drive down the highway. The lights are defected. I've replaced the bulbs numerous times but you still can't see how to drive at night time. Also, something is wrong with the rear suspension.

Two incidents that endangered my life as well as others. Vehicle with 26,000 miles driving on interstate at 65 to 70 mph all of a sudden vehicle stops computer says engine power reduced traffic behind was lucky able to avoid hitting me. Second incident last week on interstate traffic all stopped due to construction I have little to no brakes fortunately I was able to swerve off to my right situation very very dangerous.

The vehicle switches to stabilitrac and abs at the same time causing the engine to not shift into the next gear. This causes the transmission to be over ram and I have to stop the vehicle completely and put it into sport mode and manually shift the gears in order for it to shift gears. The vehicle is in motion at the time of transmission not shifting correctly into the next rpm.

Addendum to complaint number 11691294.

* component systems abs, braking, steering, loud noises in rear wheels, grinding, are all malfunctioning. The left rear tire was tited while driving, I was told it was unsafe to drive. It's currently at the dealership. * safety concerns are in the documentation. There are others in add. Encl. Vi - x. Due to the download restrictions, I was unable to submit. * the problems were also noticed by another service center wile putting tires on. * warning lights are consistently abs, engine, stabilitrac. I can't remember the exact initial date, I know it's been years. I have called this to the attention to the service manager every time the car has been repaired. I have always taken it to the same Cadillac dealership and it's been the same service manager. I am sure, through all of the service records, the initial date can be found. It's been always overlooked. I paid cash for it at another non-Cadillac dealership in 12/2017. I am tired of being taken advantage of. Please help? your immediate attention will be kindly appreciated. Thank you!.

While driving my wife had to push brake pedal further down to engage the brakes to slow or stop. Problem came on relatively quickly. Took to shop. Diagnosed as a leak in power brake booster. Also, the hood release mechanism in passenger compartment broke, making release of hood very difficult. Dangerous in case of emergency requiring access to engine compartment.

I was rear-ended while I was stopped in traffic. There was minor damage to my rear bumper however this caused numerous issues with my car immediately thereafter. I experienced numerous electrical issues and then it got worse. I lost steering, brakes and and the engine stalled. The car became immobile and had to be towed to the dealership. After they serviced the vehicle, they found that the battery shorted out and the ecu had failed. I believe that because the problems occurred immediately after the collision that it was the collision that triggered them. I feel that this is a design flaw that could be very dangerous in such a situation.
