NHTSA complaint: 2004 CADILLAC CTS — SERVICE BRAKES
AS I MAKE SHARP TURNS WHILE ON MY BRAKES, MY CAR MAKES A NOISE NEAR THE TIRE AREA AND DOES NOT STOP AND THEN ABS INDICATOR AND THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I AM TRYING TO TURN INTO SPACES GOING 1-2 MPH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR IS TO GET OFF OF THE BRAKES AND THEN PRESS THEM AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES OR TO HIT AN OBJECT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT SPECIALIZE IN BRAKES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE BRAKES THEMSELVES ARE FINE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM HAS STARTED, I HAVE HIT A TRASH CAN AND SEVERAL CURBS. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED, BUT NO MECHANIC, INCLUDING CADILLAC GM MECHANICS SEEM TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT HIT ANY PERSON OR ANY PERSON'S PROPERTY DUE TO THIS FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT OTHER CADILLAC OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT CANNOT FIND A FIX. *TR
