The ABS & traction control indicators come up on the screen along with check as I'm driving. When this happens my brakes make a weird sound like a sprung spring and the brakes feel like they're gone but they're not. It's scary be sure I feel I may not be able to stop which to me is a safety hazard. No codes show even though the check light came on, but none of the indicator lights ever stay on very long, it's off and on, off and on, just pops up occasionally, all 3 together every time. It may go days before they decide to pop up on the dash again. The first time this happen I was just heading out for work so the car has not been driven since the prior day it was stable on level ground as I started backing out of my driveway. When I reached the point to apply the brakes that's when the weird baked sound accompanied by the brake paddle feeling like my brakes weren't working and dash lights appeared. This happens during braking. I was told that the tire pressure sensor, / monitor thing could be the cause. That's another thing. Why have tire pressure effect the workability 9F my brakes and traction control" they have nothing to do with tire pressure. Also the electric rear windows seem to be an issue since day one. Every owner of the 03 Cadillac Deville has complained of the windows just falling out of place both outside & inside the door for no reason other than a bad design defect. Why should the consumers continue to replace the windows at no fault of ours" GM has known of this issue from the first year of manufacturing, yet it is us, the buyers, consumers that are paying and not just out of money but the risk of broken glass hurting a backseat passenger a child or adult that could potentially become a law suite for GM. This is why it definitely should be a recall.

Friend was driving my car at the normal speed limit and the car cut off. When the car cut off a car hit her from the side which caused the car to spin out of control and hit another car! the air bags never deployed and she was hurt badly. The key ignition recall for the 2003 Cadillac said that it will cause the car key to shift and could cut off while driving. This is a serious matter that needs to be taken care of because her neck and shoulder and foot got injured very badly because the air bags didn't deploy!......updated 01/12/15
