2008 Cadillac CTS Vehicle speed control Problems

“The cars engine runs away with my car when I am sitting with my foot on the brake or at very slow idle with my foot on the brake. The problem is one that needs to be recalled. The internet is full of the same complaint for the same year and mileage,( 29,000-32,000 miles ). I am reaching out to you because my car is at the dealer, nothing has been done to fix the problem, and I refuse to take my car back at this point. I paid cash for this car and this is the second time it has been in for the same problem. On monday afternoon I pulled into my bank with cars in front of me and beside me. …”

“I was driving my sister-in-law's 2008 Cadillac CTS home from work one night in december. I came up to the street out of the mall parking lot and put my foot on the brake to slow down. Suddenly, the engine took off and revved up to around 4000rpms, so much I could hardly hold it with the brakes.

“My car has been in the shop due to engine issues, now that engine is replaced I'm seeing stabilitrak, service AC, and brake assist lights appear. Also when driving the speedometer is not engaged and car won't shift gears. Codes will not appear when hooked up to diagnostic reader and their is moisture that gets inside my car through the sunroof.”

“After backing the vehicle in to a parking spot I wanted to straighten it out. When I put the car in drive there was a loud shrilling noise (sounded somewhat like brakes peeling) and the car accelerated forward with my foot on the brake. I pumped the brakes in an attempt to stop the vehicle but every time I pushed the brake the car would buck forward. In a matter of seconds the vehicle crashed in to a wall. This whole incident was less than 10 seconds. I would like to note this was a loaner vehicle. …”
