#100 of 105 CTS-V brakes too good, caused Onstar problem on racetrack by elias

Sep 29, 2012 (5:08 am)

at CTS-V driving experience a few weeks ago, during the portion where we learned what 100% braking could do with the car, OnStar called one of the drivers to indicate they were sending emergency crews because the car notified them that it had been in a collision.
 
That's how good the brakes are, capable of that much G impulse-force to seem like a collision to an accelerometer.
 
The driver responded, "I'm too busy driving to talk right now, we are on a racetrack. We did not crash, do not send EMTs or fire crews."
 
Personally I was disappointed that I somehow did not brake the rented CTS-V enough to get a call from Onstar.

I would be interrested in hearing whether you had the wiring checked and if so, was it the problem.
 
Thanks.

I tested the wires with an Ohm meter, once off the car. At first it looked like the wires were okay until I manipulated the harness to simulate the approximate position it would be in while turning. Readings went from zero to the meter being pegged.
Most important; I have no issues any longer!
 
Hope this helps!

#104 of 105 No Brakes During Slow, Hard Right Turns by brendak1

May 11, 2013 (8:31 am)

I have a 2007 CTS with 56k miles. I have had my brakes pulsate, grind, and fail while pulling into a parking space 4 times in the last 12 months now. Luckily no damage has been done, yet. I talked to a Cadillac service writer about this and he told me he hadn't heard of any recalls. I don't want to just throw parts at the problem. In the meantime, I try not to park in spots where I have to make a hard right.

brendak1,
 
If you would like, you can always email us at socialmediagm.com so we can verify there are no recalls associated with your vehicle. I do suggest you at least get a diagnosis from a Cadillac Dealership.
