“My car was repaired at patrick cadillac in schaumburg, but still the airbag light is on at the dashboard. The mechanic old me that the light is not part of the recall. Since the light is on, that means that there is a problem with the safety airbag. Another issue is with the ABS. Whenever I step on the breaks, the ABS shakes as if it's bouncing on the breaks, and the whole car shakes. Is there a problem with the ABS systems? I thought my breaks needed changing, and all four break pads were changed, but the problems persists.”

“Brake pressure in the pedal was lost abruptly on my way to work at highway speeds. I managed to safely slow the car down but could have resulted in a serious accident. Once the vehicle was returned to my home I inspected the brake lines and identified a severe brake line leak at the rear 4-way joint connector. The car was recently bought from someone in michigan where it was originally sold. That component of the vehicle showed large amounts of rust and corrosion.”
