2000 Cadillac Deville Brakes Problems

“I was preparing to make a 270 degree left turn and I was attempting to turn the wheel and the steering wheel kept spinning while the car stayed in a forward motion. I attempted to press on the brakes and they had barely any brake pressure which resulted me to collide with a parked car that was in the first parking spot in the lot I was attempting to pull into. The operator in the parked vehicle I hit was taken to the hospital after sustaining injures due to the impact of the crash.”

“I pulled off the hwy and went to apply my brakes. They went to the floor and the car kept going. I pulled on my emergence brakes and the car stopped. The tow-truck driver said a piece had broke off the brake.”

“Brought car at arnold palmer Cadillac in charlotte, nc, independence ave on 2/10/07. After getting home, brakes begin to squeak, took car back immediately the next day, I was told to put the car in reverse and slam on brakes and the squeak should stop; that was an insult. Again I took the car back to the dealership , I was told that they took the brakes pads off and sanded them down and the squeaking would stop. It has been three weeks now, my brakes is still squeaking with a grinding noise. Spending $16,000 for a vehicle, I feel I should not have to go through this. …”

“While pulling off road into car wash, brake pedal traveled to floor without braking action. After inspecting, found that brake pedal mechanism had disconnected from push rod to master cylinder. As a result, no brakes were available to control speed other than the emergency brakes.”

“Abs braking system operated poorly. Vehicle did not stop, resulting in extended stopping distance. Neither the dealer or manufacturer were willing to deal with the ABS brake problem. Also. Air bags will not deploy unless the vehicle was hit head on.”
