Vsa Warning Light On Problems of Cadillac STS

The car traction control failed and the vehicle had the service stability system come on. The abs light was lit and the vehicle would not accelerate or turn easily. The vehicle went into the ditch. This vehicle had headlights prior to the incident with bulbs popping out inside and moisture. After the repairs were done by the body shop the new headlights have had that same problem. The airbags never came out, and there is a message displayed indicating they needed service. It was never addressed by the body shop. Also prior to the incident the steering had an issue causing pain to my shoulder. The diagnosis was wrong after the steering service light remained after a gear replacement and the same issue caused pain. Time passed and the shoulder got worse. There has been 2 wheel sensors with issues. The dealer never told me that there was a special warranty for the timing belt when I bought the car. I am also now having issues with the computer screen. I cannot change the time anymore.

Driving home on the interstate at the posted 70 mph speed my electronic stability light goes off and the cars engaged suddenly begins to rapidly power down. A few moments later I was unable to maintain 40 mph as the transition revived to 2x normal levels. I was forced to pull off the interstate and turn off the car for a few minutes, restart the car and drive while the transition light remained light up. Over the past couple weeks the electronic stability light/engine powering down situation has become more frequent and almost a daily situation I expect--not a comforting feeling when on the interstate. I took the car the a local mechanic today and for once the transmition light was not on and the traction stability situation was not a problem--go figure. Anyway, the mechanic tested the car and said the issue appeared to be moisture getting into the accelerator sensor and causing the issue. He was not 100% sure and recommended I keep driving the car and bring in once the issue pops up again--sure it will. Difficult to prove without being an expert mechanic but I believe there is an engineering defect with the car creating this issue and the part should be recalled and replaced with a newly engineered moisture sealed part. All acceleration issues like this are very serious as gm should accept responsibility to fix. I replaced the same sensor approximately 2 years ago and problem persistent over that same period of time. Not what you expect when you invest in the Cadillac brand.
