| While driving down the road service stability track message would appear on the dashboard message center. that would then disable the traction control system. an audible ding-ding would sound about every thirty-seconds as you were driving down the road. the button on the dash was inoperable and would not shut off the system. cadillac advised my dealer that i would have to wait for the 2004 models to be released to get the problem fixed. when vehicle was in the shop to be fixed it was also found that the abs module needed to be replaced because that was not functional. i had 50 miles on the vehicle when the problem was first noticed. *ak | |||
