My 2004 Cadillac Xlr applied the front left brake only and illuminated the stability control light causing a brief and severe swerve for about 1 second. I pulled over and shut the car off and restarted. Everything was fine for about 4 months when it did it again, luckily no one in my path of travel. Most recently it did it again about one month ago , same wheel, same speed. I am very mechanically inclined and performed a thorough inspection and I cannot find anything wrong. I am not the only one having this very unsafe problem with a pretty expensive car! my car now has just about 18,500 miles and I'm wondering when it'll happen again! I want to drive my car and enjoy it but, I'm nervous and I find myself gripping the steering wheel tighter everytime I drive it now.
