WHILE GOING 45 APPROACHING A RED LIGHT I CASUALLY HIT THE BRAKES. THE CAR DID NOT STOP. HITTING THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR FOR A 2ND TIME, THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THUS, AFTER RUNNING THE RED LIGHT IN A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AND DRIVING WITHOUT BRAKES UNTIL I COULD FIND A PARKING LOT TO PULL OVER IN, GOT THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 45, CAR DID NOT STOP DUE TO RUSTED BRAKE LINE (SNAPPED BRAKE LINE)

STEERING IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN TRYING TO GET IN AND OUT OF TIGHT SPOTS. IT FEELS ALMOST AS IF I LOOSE MY STEERING ALL TOGETHER. THE CAR DEALER SAID THEY REPLACED THE STEERING RACK JUST LAST MONTH, BUT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.*AK

ONSUMER STATES THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DEALER FOUND PCM OUT OF CALIBRATION, CONSUMER ALSO STATS THAT THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING, AND THERE IS A VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH, THE DEALER PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.*TT

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY OLD 2000 GM CADILLAC STS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS NOT A MECHANICAL PROBLEM - IT WAS SOME SORT OF DEFECT. NOTE THAT IT WAS "REPAIRED" IN BETWEEN THE INCIDENTS, DO IT WAS NOT THE SAME INITIAL PROBLEM. I FILED A COMPLAINT BACK THEN, BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. THE MECHANICS AT THE PALO ALTO CADILLAC DEALER SEEMED TO KNOW OF THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS A FAILURE OF SOME SENSORS ON THE FLYWHEEL. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS RELATED TO THE CURRENT IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. HAVING A VEHICLE STALL AT 65 MILE PER HOUR IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT IF I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW CARS WORK. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. MY POINT IS, THERE WAS A DEFECT ON THIS CAR THAT APPEARED TO BE KNOWN BY GM, AND WAS ALSO IGNORED. THE COMPLAINT WAS IGNORED BY THE NHTSA. I THINK YOU SHOULD ALSO INQUIRE WITH GM WHAT WAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT. AS I WROTE - THEY SEEMED TO HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM, AND JUST REPAIRED IT, RATHER THAN UNDERSTAND THE RISK THEY WERE MAKING US TAKE. I ENDED UP SELLING THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
