The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac cts. The contact stated that while driving, and while depressing the brake pedal to come to a complete stop, the brake failed. The contact had to engage the emergency brake to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. In addition, the contact stated that the steering wheel would shake at low and high speeds. The brake and ABS warning lights intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the lower control arms failed, the ball joint was cracked and both needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was later taken to central houston Cadillac dealer (2520 main St, houston, tx 77002, (832) 431-5697) but was not diagnosed or repaired due to the diagnostic and repair fees. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened case number: 84781603741. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

CTS-V

  • 68,500 miles
I have or had a 2004 Cadillac Cts-V. it had given me some problems with turning. Several times when I made turns onto another street or even when I took an on ramp onto an interstate, I have lost control of my car. It seems to loose traction, like the traction control got turned off (which it hadn't) and began drifting/swerving on the road which has almost caused an accident several times, until finally it did. Thanksgiving of 2017 it finally did cause an accident and a death of one of my friends. I was taking a left turn one night on the way to drop off some friends when my vehicle kept turning, like it swung out, and hit a pole, causing severe damage to the car and taking the life of one of my passengers that night.
