1 Brakes Failed problem of the 2013 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 03/02/2020

While driving , if I slide on ice , mud or gravel while driving , the brake pedal pulses then goes almost to the floor then it comes back up to normal pedal position and if you press it to slow down the pedal is spongy and goes almost to the floor with very little stopping power. After car sits parked it seems to repair itself. Repairing itself might take a couple hours or one to two days. I am unable to drive this car when brakes fail. I just keep checking for when my brakes come back, then I drive. This has now happened 4 times in 2 yrs. The Cadillac technitions are unable to find problem. No codes showing in diagnostic testing. Please help me figure out what's wrong. This car is a big safety hazard. It needs solved and fixed. Thank you.

2 Brakes Failed problem of the 2010 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 12/12/2018

The brakes randomly fail. When depressing the brake, it will be spongy and the pedal will go all the way to the floor without fully stopping the car. If the brakes are pumped, they usually return to normal. When researching this online, it became apparent that this is a common problem, and after speaking to Cadillac, my impression is that they are not proactively trying to solve this potentially life threatening design flaw.

4 Brakes Failed problem of the 2012 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 12/06/2017

I was pulling out of a parking lot into city traffic when the brakes in my 2012 Cadillac Srx failed. I ended up rear ending another vehicle at a very slow speed. When we pulled off to the side of the road I had to pump the brakes to get the car to stop. There were no physical injuries as I was maybe going 2 or 3 mph. We exchanged insurance information. I notified my insurance of the claim as well. I had bought my daughter a 2010 Cadillac Srx when I bought mine and 6 weeks ago she had the same problem with brake failure but she was able to pump the brakes to get her car to stop. We took her car to st. Claire Cadillac in santa clara and they could not find anything wrong and no error codes were identified in the on board computer. I searched the web and there are multiple incidences of this problem occurring with Cadillac Srx models but Cadillac will not fix this problem. I do not know if this problem has resulted in any deaths if so the driver may not have been able to report the incident. Cadillac needs to do something about this! needless to say I will be selling my Srx and buying a Toyota.
