I NOTICED THAT OCCASIONALLY MY CAR BRAKES WOULD STOP WORKING A PUSH BACK AT ME WITH A PULSING FEELING WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 6-7 TIMES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING VERY SLOWLY AND TURNING, IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT I COULD RE-CREATE EACH TIME. NEXT I RECEIVED AN INTERMITTENT IN-DASH MESSAGE THAT STATED "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" THAT WOULD COME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN DISAPPEAR. IT DIDN'T ALWAYS APPEAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THIS WOULD TYPICALLY HAPPEN WHEN PARKING IN A PARKING SPACE, SLOWLY MAKING A SHARP TURN. I ACTUALLY HIT CONCRETE PARKING BUFFER ONE DAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP. IN TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND HUB BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE EBCM. THE COST WAS ABOUT $2000.00. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUES AND AM SEEING MANY CTS OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY TO FIND OUT THAT YOUR BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT TRAVEL WITH ME OFTEN. VEHICLE OWNERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND CADILLAC NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE IN FIXING THE PROBLEM AND NOT WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO BRING IN THEIR CARS UNTIL THEIR BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING. BRAKES ARE A MUST HAVE ON A CAR AND THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE BEGAN BURNING OIL. GM REPLACED DAMAGE TO TIMING CHAIN BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSES IT TO BURN OIL. SO NOW, I HAVE TO ADD .5 QUART EVERY 300 MILES. MY TECHNICIAN TELLS ME HE HAS MANY IN THE SAME BOAT. *TR

OUR CAR IS EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHICH MATCHES EXACTLY THE DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V644000 AND GM SAFETY RECALL 100355. THE GM DEALERS KEEP SAYING OUR VIN DOESN'T MATCH THE PLANT WHERE THE CARS WITH THE PROBLEM AIRBAGS WERE MANUFACTURED AND WILL NOT REPLACE AS STATED IN THE RECALL, BUT OUR CAR HAS THE EXACT ISSUE AS SHOWN IN THE RECALL.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GM SUBJECT 10287 CONCERNING TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. GM PUT A BAND AID FIX ON THIS AND GAVE A SPECIAL WARRANTY TO 120,000 TO REPAIR ANY ISSUES WITH TIMING CHAIN UNTIL 120,000 MILES. OUR TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT AT 121,000 AND I FEEL GM SHOULD HONOR THE SPECIAL WARRANTY. TIMING CHAIN ISSUE WAS NOT EXPLAINED TO US WHEN THE BAND AID FIX WAS APPLIED AND TIMING CHAIN ISSUE STARTED BEFORE 120,000 MILES. *TR

AFTER PURCHASE OF MY CTS, I NOTICED THE BRAKES SCREECHING AND PULSING. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES REDONE 3 TIMES AND I STILL HAVE SQUEAKING AND PULSING ISSUES. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CADILLACS DEALER AFTER THEY HAD CHARGED ME $600 FOR A BRAKE PAD ONLY JOB TO CHECK MY BRAKES AS THEY WERE STILL PULSING WHEN STOPPING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT, AND THEY KEPT IF FOR A DAY AND TOLD ME MY BRAKES WERE FINE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE STILL PULSING. THEY CHARGED ME $85 FOR LOOKING AT MY BRAKES WHICH WAS A RIP OFF SINCE I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. AIR BAGS, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR. WITHIN A YEAR I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY CLEARLY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. MY CADILLACS IS BEAUTIFUL BUT I FEAR IT MAY COST ME MY LIFE ONE DAY IF CADILLACS DOESN'T STEP UP AND EXPOSE THESE PROBLEMS AND MAKE THE REPAIRS. *TR
