| Multiple, arbitrary incidences of the brakes shaking, kind of grinding and car not wanting to stop, generally when pulling into or out of a parking spot, or coming to any slow stop. always at a low speed. spoke with two gm dealership service managers who have no knowledge of this problem, although it is documented close to 100 times on this and other web sites: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0f480a/29 please check these posts since so many others have experienced this problem which (as stated in one of the posts) very well could be a failure in the design or workmanship in some of the wiring harnesses connecting the ebcm to the speed sensors that causes the brakes to fail. whatever the cause, one would not expect any brake trouble on a vehicle with only 21,000 miles. this is a deadly flaw and i expect gm should own up to it, educate dealers and owners and fix the problem. thank you. i look forward to your response. | |||

| Tl- the contact owns a 2004 cadillac cts. the contact stated that while traveling approximately 40mph his vehicle struck an object on the road. the right front rim was bent and when this happened the rim mushroomed out and the edge of the rim hit the brake line of the caliper causing the brake fluid to leak out. the spare tire was put on and the vehicle was driven home. cadillac and gm were contacted and stated that their was nothing they could do about it and the vehicle would have to be taken to a cadillac dealer for repairs. the failure mileage was approximately 50,000. the current mileage is approximately 52,000. rd | |||
