Once you brake it stays applied, brake light stays on, the brake pedal does not raise once you brake but it stays applied, that way car does not get appropriate speed but it brakes itself.

"takata recall" I was going home when over a bump in road and went to stop and brakes went almost to floor board before I could get the car to stop. I almost hit another car. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Both times I had gone over a bump in the road. The brakes felt like they were not going to work at all and went to the floor board before I could get the car to stop.

When the brake pedal was depressed, it traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired.

2011 Cadillac Srx with 20,000 miles on it had the entire wheel hub come apart. Bolts fell out and the remaining bolts were all loosened. This problem ruined the caliper and brakes. I was lucky that I was not driving on the highway very often as I could have had a very serious crash.

Our car was parked and exposed to the hot South Florida sun for over 6 hours. When my partner attempted to drive home, the car felt like the brakes were applied. The car would not accelerate above 30 mph even though the accelerator pedal was considerably depressed. He drove approximately 1 mile when smoke emanated from the front of our vehicle. He called for service and the car was towed to the dealer. Dealer could not find a problem. This problem happens every time the vehicle is exposed to hot temps for extended periods of time. Reported to dealer at least three times and has happened, without reporting, an additional 4 or 5 times. No resolution as of this date. Dealer inspection has shown excessive wear on the brakes. We try at all times to keep our car in the garage or under covered parking to avoid further instances.
