2006 Cadillac CTS service brakes problems

“Engine burns 1quart of oil, 100 miles. Brakes went to floor, brake lines had holes at 69,000 miles. Driver rear axel leaks. 2006 Cadillac CTS is a lemon!! Money Pit !!!”

“WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, TURNING SLIGHTLY OR SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPOT, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGINS TO LOCK UP WHEN PRESSING ON IT TO STOP. UPON LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM, MORE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THE HUB AND EBCM SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ISSUE WAS STILL RECURRING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FAULT OR PROBLEM THAT CREATED THIS UNSAFE CONDITION IS STILL UNKNOWN BY GM.”

“THE BRAKES ON THE CARS LEAK FLUID AND THE BRAKE NOT WORKING PROPER,WANT STOP CAR AFTER YOU APPLY BRAKE STOP A STOP SIGN, AND WILL TRY TO GO WITH BRAKE DOWN. NOT SAFE. HAD BRAKE PAD PUT ON. DRAKE STILL HAVING PROBLEM.”

“FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE FAILURE. FAILURE WAS ON THE HARD LINE BETWEEN THE ABS DISTRIBUTION BLOCK TO THE CONNECTION POINT WHICH LEADS TO THE CALIPER. CORROSION HAS LEAD TO A LINE FAILING WITH A HOLE LOCATED ON THE TOP SIDE OF BRAKE LINE. CAR WAS BEING PARKED. BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING HELD WHILE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS BEING APPLIED. SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PRESSURE GAVE UP AND THE PEDAL WHEN TO THE FLOOR. LUCKY IS THIS SITUATION THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A WHOLE OTHER CONVERSATION.”

“WHEN TURNING SLOWLY INTO PARKING SPACES THE BREAKS GO OUT AND DO NOT WORK CAUSING THE CAR TO EITHER HIT OR RUN UP THE CURBING. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT WE ARE BECOMING SCARED TO DRIVE CAR. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERS AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIXT THE ISSUE.”

“I JUST THINK THIS NEEDS DOCUMENTING. MY REAR BRAKES LEAKED FLUID AND WENT COMPLETELY EMPTY ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO AND I HAD NO BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, I WAS GOING SLOWLY AND CLOSE TO HOME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THEY REPLACED A SECTION OF THE LINES. COST $208 PLUS TOW. A SHORT TIME LATER GM RECALLED THE CAR BECAUSE OF RUSTING PROBLEMS IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. LAST WEEK I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT AND MY BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE FLOOR. THE FLUID DID NOT COMPLETELY LEAK OUT AND I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND GOT TO MY MECHANIC JUST AS THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY. THIS TIME THERE WAS RUST IN ONE LINE NEAR THE ENGINE. THEY SAID IT WAS BEHIND THE FUEL FILTER. HE SPLICED IN PIECES TO BOTH LINES. COST $187. I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 20 CARS AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE, NEVER MIND 3 TIMES. THREE PROBLEMS IN A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IS THE REASON I AM NOTIFYING YOU. I LOOKED ONLINE AND A NUMBER OF OTHERS EXPRESSED THINGS CONCERNING THIS. THANK YOU.”
