2006 Cadillac DTS Vehicle speed control Problems

“I bought this car, and the steering wheel controls(audio/cruise control) have not worked, prior owner was advised to replace the bcm. Front driver's headlight intermittently goes on and off when driving. The steering wheel switch to adjust the height, angle, and settings for each driver also are not working. Apparently these are known issues. I had similar issues with my 2000 chevy impala, and my 2004 chevy impala ss.”

“( just bought this used car , first time driving it home from dealer) speed control was set at 70 MPH on I-88 started down a steep hill, speed keep going up . I keep my foot on he brake as the speed was up to 85 MPH . The car never slowed down. I have had cadillacs beginning in 1991, never had a car do this before, if you are on a flat road doing 50 MPH, take your foot of the gas the car will start slowing down after you drive 3/10 of a mile and than slow very slowly. …”

“I turned right out of my place of employment. I was less than a half block from the light. I pulled into the center lane intending to turn left at the light. Suddenly my car accelerated rapidly. I slammed on the brake so hard my leg hurt for days. The car accelerated more and the brake did not stop it completely. I rear ended a large pickup. I went back to my office and contacted Cadillac customer service immediately. I requested they check the black box computer module. They did eventually do that but said they found no problem. Nobody seems to be listening to what happened. …”

“My 2006 Cadillac DTS has adaptive cruise control. I have experienced 3 episodes of police radar interference with this feature. The symptom is that the cc indicates that a car is immediately in front of the vehicle. It sounds the alarm and applies the brakes as strongly as the feature allows. The workaround is to immediately hit the gas or kill the cc to get back up to spped and avoid a rear end collision. I had my dealer test the unit and validate the alignment. The unit tested error free. …”

“This happened 6 times. My engine speed would not drop after foot removed from accelerator. 4 of the six times was on freeway exit ramp. I verified that the floor mat was not in any way interfering after the firstime this happened. I contacted my dealer 3 times - central Cadillac, and they said they checked and found nothing wrong and that it must have been my floor mat. I know it was not! I don't believe this to be cruise control related as it happened in city traffic twice. When exiting the freeway after braking to stop engine would stay at 1800 RPM to 2300 RPM dependent on occasion. …”
