Good morning dj816,
 
Thank you for your feedback, and I can certainly understand your perspective given our frequent posts on the forum.
 
We are customer service and we do take note of concerns when a thread begins to grow (usually 5+ people having the same concerns with the same model year of a vehicle), and this information is passed along. However, where it goes from there it is difficult to say.
 
Christina and my primary objective is to help individuals get their individual concerns addressed if they choose to work with our dealerships.
 
Good, bad, or otherwise, this is where we're at. I can say that we do get visitors to our location from other departments within GM and we are able to draw attention to forums like Edmunds.
 
Again, thank you for your feedback and patience. I hope that the fix proposed by sirpontiac works for your CTS if you decide to go that route!
 
Sarah, GM Customer Service

#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.
