Consumer Description

VEHICLE SHUTTERS/HESITATES (LIKE THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGING) AND THEN JERKS VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT INTO NEXT LANE. "SERVICE STABILITY SYS" MESSAGE COMES ON AND THEN GOES OFF. CADILLAC DEALER KEEPS "FIXING" IT AND CHARGING. PROBLEM RETURNS AGAIN WITHIN DAYS SOMETIMES HOURS. INTERNET IS LOADED WITH FOLKS WITH EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND CADILLAC SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHILE A TECH IS DRIVING IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. ANOTHER DRIVER ALMOST DROVE UP ON THE CURB WHEN HE HAD TO PULL AWAY FROM MY CAR MOVING UNEXPECTEDLY INTO HIS LANE. ALL OF THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SHARED WITH THE DEALER REPAIR DEPARTMENT. *JS
