In a panic as I as coasting I was fortune enough to weave my way across 2 lanes to the side of the highway and roll to a complete start. Suddenly all power to the vehicle cut off including my power steering and braking. I was traveling approximately 65 mph on a 3 lane highway, while mainitaning a constant speed. I have seen, read, heard of other individual owner testimonials that talk about this being an issue that Cadillac refuses to acknowledge. engine: Internal timing chain tensioner has failed and I hear a noticeable ticking of the chain slapping against the sidewall that is emanating from the passenger side of the engine. Something about this coincidence doesn't make sense. I've read the recall info regarding other Cadillac cars and mine meets the same criteria but has no recall notice. Air bags: The system keeps telling me that the airbag system needs to be serviced. The rest is ongoing and is separate from the incident reported above. I have not touched it since that incident. I had tested the brakes after that and have no braking ability. I also noticed that the driver front wheel well liner had a spray of brake fluid that covered the interior portion of the liner, proximally, behind the rim and tire sidewall. I inspected the brake lines and hoses after parking the vehicle that the steel brake lines had fluid dripping from them. The system lost enough pedal pressure that stopping after that incident required me to drive at low speeds and give myself more distance thankfully, I still had some ability to stop, at that time. Immediately I noticed that the brakes felt substantially different.

I had to put the car into park in order to be restart it. My momentum would have carried me into the car positioned only a few feet in front of me if I hadn't the presence of mind to instinctively pull off onto the shoulder as to avoid rear-ending the car in front of me. When I did, the car power, engine, electrical system shut down and refused to brake any more than it did prior to my slamming on the brakes. This is my second time trying to get it repaired and now I'm done.īrake system failure: I was driving on the highway and had to execute an emergency stop going approximately 30 mph on a cool dry road. I was in love with this car but this is horrible. Cadilliac makes everything so expensive so I would not recommend getting one unless you can absolutely afford it and not be in debt behind it. This is ridiculous! something needs to be done about this. It will cost me over $2000 to get repaired. When this happens it can cause the pistons and everything else to fail with the engine. They say the oil is going somewhere but where? I was also told the timing chain had failed. I had it towed to mechanic and was told that they had to put 5 quarts of oil in it but I had the oil changed a month before the car died. The engine would rattle when first cranked and then it got to the point where it would constantly keep trying to crank but never would and now it is completely out. The service engine light would come on for a few days then it would go off for a few days. I just purchased this car in February 2019 and it went down in late April or early may of this year. Easily could have been avoided by simply using a different metal than mild steel between dissimilar metals. This is just poor quality material and craftsmanship. And when I see the 4 brake lines are about to rust out after all the repairs that have already been done. This car has 101k miles and has been babied it's entire life. The dissimilar metals are aluminum nut with a mild steel washer backed by a stainless steel washer before it contacts the radiator. This could have gotten me and my 3 year old son seriously hurt by sudden loss of power and slick roadways not being able to avoid or brake properly or even steer away from on coming collision. Transmission cooler line fittings have dissimilar metals causing the threads inside the radiator transcooler to strip and dump coolant into Transmission lines and on road along with what was the transmission fluid as well as steam rolling out blocking vision through my windshield going uphill on a dangerously busy road crossing.This is a well known manufacturing defect that has yet to be handled.
