| Mileage: 4,833 i had been waiting in line at a carwash, and when it was my turn to enter, i began to slowly move forward. as i was inching forward, my car began to move faster than it should. i applied the brake, but i did not have any and my steering was locked. it felt like my car stalled, but at the same time, it kept moving forward. fortunately, i was able to engage my emergency brake to prevent me from crashing. this is the 2nd time this has happened. the first time was in august of '07. that time, i was parked at the top of my sloped driveway. the car lurched forward and i had no brakes or steering and my car rolled down the hill and into a brick wall. i ended up in the er with a neck injury. the dealership found nothing. my car has been in and out of the dealership for various problems tied to the electrical system of the car. (ex. the traction control would engage inappropriately or would stop me dead in the middle of the road, the trunk came open while i was driving, it would have pickup hesitation, it would also feel as if it were accelerating itself while i was driving, my oil life reading was off by 38%, car had to be reprogrammed because the power train system detected a malfunction in the engine control system, the gas gauge and low fuel warning lights are not performing accurately.) as of today, my car has been in the shop for 17 days as they continue to attempt to fix my problems. if you factor in the time it was in their after my accident due to the malfunction of the car, it has been over 77 days in the past 10 months. *tr | |||

| After starting up my car (a 2007 cadillac cts) and attempting to go in reverse, it stalled in my driveway and began to roll down the hill. i tried to brake and to steer the car, but it would not respond. i also noticed that my traction engaged light was on. i ended up sliding into the retaining wall and continued down the hill until i crashed into the brick pillar of my garage. my airbags did not deploy and onstar did not respond to the crash. i sustained injuries ended up in the er. the local gm dealer could not find anything wrong with my car and said that my airbags did not deploy due to the angle of the hit. my car had nearly $8000 worth of damage so this was not a little fender bender. when i was at the dealership talking to the service department manager, he told me that there was another customer who was filing a complaint against gm because they had a similar problem. they had an accident in their cadillac and sustained much more damage than i did, but their airbags failed to deploy also. i took delivery of the car at 463 miles and my incident took place around 503 miles or so. i had this car less than 30 hours when this happened. i still contend that the car stalled and caused this accident, but gm said that there were no codes found when they ran the diagnostic. i bought this car due to the onstar, and even though their website says that it can detect a collision without the airbags deploying, it did not work in my case. *jb | |||
