The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Xlr. The contact stated that the steering wheel would emit an abnormal noise when turned in either direction. Also, the contact was traveling approximately 40 mph when the stability control warning light illuminated. The contact applied the brakes for a traffic stop and the brakes seized, causing the contact to crash into the passenger¿s side of another vehicle. The abs traction control warning light also illuminated after the failure occurred. There were no injuries and a police report was filed of the incident.

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.

While driving my 2005 Cadillac Xlr on the interstate highway at approximately 70 mph, dry highway my car dipped to the left with instantaneous stabilitrack active flash. Then a few seconds later dipped left again and pulled severally to the left. The car was out of control. I could feel the abs pulsating in the brake pedal. Fortunately nothing was in the lane next to me or there would have surely been an accident. I luckily was able to get the car back into my lane by just being fully aware of my surroundings and having both hands on the steering wheel at the time. A few seconds later another quick dip and the service stabilitrack came on. No further events. I called onstar for diagnostics and no trouble codes were found although the service stabilitrack was clearly illuminated. After a 5 minute stop (engine off/restart) the service stabilitrack did not back come on. After pulling on to the street (approximately 20 mph ) my left front wheel was completely locked - no release - no warning. Again dry highway, no potholes, clean street. With a car directly behind me, there was nothing I could do, but force the car forward. Rubber was burning and smoke coming from the completely locked left front wheel. One car nearly rear-ended me and then pulled up and ask what was wrong. He stated he saw no break lights but saw the car pull left and smoke from the front wheel. After forcing the car to the shoulder, I turned the car off. When it restarted the car the wheel was free and no warning lights. I drove the car into a parking lot and pulled the abs fuse. I now have many warning lights, but know that the abs and stabilitrack system is inactive. Steering position clip already replaced.
