Replying to: mthollyray (Mar 22, 2005 9:45 am) I have a 1985 Deville--don't laugh-- which I inherited because I NEVER would have bought this car having been in the car biz for many years. I had to put a second engine in. Didn't everybody? The 4.1 was junk! But I have never had a car with so many brake problems! Rear wheel cylinder blew while braking and totally lost my brakes! Thank goodness for the snowbank! I've had booster problems, master cylinder problems, you name it! Cadillacs have had bad brakes between '85 and '95.
#7 of 7 STS brakes by gojo2 Mar 15, 2007 (2:09 pm)
I have a 2005 STS with 30,000 mi. The brakes had to be replaced and the front rotors and the rear rotors had to be cut. The squealers did not make any warning sound, but the dealer and Cadillac say it is not a warrantee item since I should check the brakes despite the squealers. My feeling is if they put them there they should work and if they don't they are defective. Also, the front end will not hold an alignment.
