2009 Cadillac CTS Vehicle speed control Problems

“We were leaving a diner parking lot in the afternoon, when I had to stop for a delivery truck blocking our exit. When the truck pulled forward I lightly pressed the accelerator and the car began to surge forward and to our left(my wife was in the car with me). I pressed down on the brakes and the car continued forward and began to turn to the right and I tried to steer the car to the left but the steering did not respond resulting in my hitting two parked cars. I had the car towed to the Cadillac dealer. …”

“2009 Cadillac CTS has brake problems. The consumer stated when he attempted to apply the brakes, the vehicle continued to accelerate. On several occasions, the consumer went through an intersection, because he was unable to stop the vehicle. The driver side mirror vibrated out of position.

It has happened several times at multiple speeds highest of which was about 45-50 so far. Have had into shop 4 times. …”

“I purchased my vehicle in april of 2016 and it ran fine. But as of late I have been experiencing some major problems with the functioning of the vehicle. To date a service all wheel drive illuminates on the dash as well as a service stabilitrak which causes the check engine light to illuminate and the engine to reduce power. I was on a highway where the speed limit is 65 MPH and this occurred which almost cost me my life. I contacted my warranty company which was no help so I scheduled an appointment at a Cadillac dealer. …”
