Example complaints

“Breaking system seems delayed, applying foot on the pedal to break takes more pressure then usual. Also wheels are constantly squeaking. For over a year I've brought this attention to the dealerships mechanic where I purchased the vehicle and their only imply is that the breaks are ceramic and will do this regardless. This does not seem safe. Every time I use my breaks I have to adjust the timing and pay closer attention to driving when using the break system. The vehicles break system does not feel safe especially while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11253200, filed 2019-09, 6,600 miles“While driving on the interstate, 8/6/15, my 2 week old 2015 Cadillac SRX (650 mileage) suddenly accelerated and continued to do so while I was stepping on the brakes, repeatedly. My wife and I could smell the brake pads as if they were burning from the pressure I applied but the SRX would not stop. Whenever I lifted my foot off the brakes slightly, the vehicle surged forward. I pulled over into the left shoulder and shut off the engine to get the vehicle to stop. We were traumatized as our grandchild was in the vehicle . …”
NHTSA complaint #10750140, filed 2015-08, 650 miles“For months now I have been having problems with my brakes. They all of a sudden go hard and don't brake as easy as they should also take a lot longer to break and have to push down further and all of a sudden a day or two later it's gone. It comes and goes randomly. I told the dealership they said they don't see a problem and have no recalls.”
NHTSA complaint #11254701, filed 2019-09“While I'm driving my driver seat moves forward and my brake and gas pedal do as well. It happens no matter if I'm on a highway or street and when I'm driving straight not sure if it happens while turning. Doesn't matter what speed I'm going either. Haven't crashed. Nothing indicating something wrong on dash”
NHTSA complaint #11355696, filed 2020-09“My 2015 Cadillac SRX4 developed an issue with the Electronic Brake Control Module which produced the following dash light warnings, park brake, stabili track and power steering alert. I took it to Thompson Pontiac Cadillac in Springfield Mo. I was notified that the ECBM module was discontinued and they bought a remanufactured part from EBAY. They informed me that the part did not fix all of the issues. I still have a power steering drive with care alert still illuminated. The dealership offered no other options for fixing the problem. …”
