CADILLAC Complaints

WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN ON WET ROADWAY (NOT A PUDDLE OF WATER) OR TRYING TO TURN AT A LIGHT FOR INSTANCE WHILE IT IS RAINING, EVEN AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE POWER STEERING LOCKS AND THE CAR WILL NOT CONTINUE TO TURN, CAUSING TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU TO COME TO A SCREECHING HALT.AFTER STOPPING THE STEERING WILL SLOWLY LOOSENS UP ALLOWING YOU TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT WITH MY REPAIR GARAGE BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. SINCE I AM AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING I'M VERY CAREFUL WHEN MAKING A TURN IN THE RAIN. I'M THANKFUL I WASN'T ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 60. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 8 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE PROBLEM INVOLVES THE VEHICLE'S TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WILL LOSE ALL ACCELERATION POWER FOR TWO TO THREE SECONDS. DURING THESE TWO TO THREE SECONDS, THEIR IS A HOPELESS FEELING AS YOU QUICKLY LOOK INTO YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR AND PRAY THAT THE CAR BEHIND IS SLOWING DOWN OR SWERVING INTO THE LEFT LANE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS ON DRY AND CLEAN PAVEMENT WITHOUT ANY LEGITIMATE REASON. AFTER ROLLING SLOWLY WITHOUT POWER THE ACCELERATOR WILL SUDDENLY ENGAGE. *TR
