1999 Cadillac Catera Brakes Problems

“I brought this vehicle at enterprise used car sales on april 30,2002. I was guaranteed a bumber-to-bumber inspection of the car and was to be in operational condition. After I left the lot with the car; I could only go approximatly a 1/4 of mile before I needed to get gas in the car. That was the begining of the trouble. So far since april of this year I've had to replace all of the tires, brakes, and other repairs that thankfully was still under the warranty. The car had to be towed twice to the dealership. As we speak the car is being repaired again. …”

“Consumer states there is a howling sound and vehicle vibrates at any speed up to 70mph. At 12000 miles goodyear original p225-55r16 tires had excessive wear and needed replacing. At 35000 miles all 4 tires needed replacing again. Consumer feels tires are defected and is requesting reimbursement.”

“Braking system malfunctioned. Brake pedal traveled halfway down in order for the braking system to be functional which caused extended stopping distance, and might result in a crash. Dealer said it was the charcteristic of the vehicle, and that nothing could be done to correct it. Design flaw.”

“When applying ABS brakes system locked up, resulting in a collision in which vehicle hit a guardrail, became airborne, and air bags did not deploy. This vehicle after being airborne, hit a fenced lot and damaged the head lamp.”

“Accelerator does not give power from stop position unless the pedal is floor boarded. It will then creep up to desired speed. Brake light comes on as well as engine light. The cause has been undetected by the dealership. The prblem may last a day, maybe more maybe less, and then correct itself . You have no warning as to when this will happen. It starts from the stop position everytime but once. That time I was driving in traffic when it would not accelerate”
