5 Brake Master Cylinder problem of the 2012 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 04/15/2019

Vehicles brake pedal will randomly lose pressure and go to the floor. Had to pump brakes in order for it to go to a rolling stop. Had the vehicle serviced and at first they couldn't find anything wrong because the pressure built back up however when he took it for a drive the last time the mechanic almost got in an accident. They replaced the master cylinder however it did the same thing about a month later. Something needs to be done regarding this issue with this vehicle as there are several complaints regarding the exact same thing with owner other owners. Somebody's going to eventually get killed. Im thinking about trading my vehicle in for this very reason and because there has been no action taken with the manufacturer.

7 Brake Master Cylinder problem of the 2008 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 08/13/2018

Brake line burst due to corrosion, line from master cylinder to abs modulator, during panic braking situation while driving in the rain. Vehicle came within inches from rear ending a small car full of people. As a previous owner of a 2000 Chevrolet silverado, of which I had a similar experience, and subsequently replaced all the brake lines with stainless steel, I have no faith in the NHTSA as a result of the "gm brake line investigation" which in my opinion caved to politics in order not to bankrupt gm. How many lives will be negatively impacted by injuries and death as a result of not having gm address the issue of using garbage materials for hydraulic lines? shame on everyone involved in the decision to chalk this up to salt corrosion. At the time of my 2000 silverado complaint, gm assured me that this would not happen to my 2008 Cadillac Srx. . . . . Silly me for believing them. I beg you to reopen the investigation. This issue is not impacting just pickups.
