NHTSA Complaint #10762597 — 2005 CADILLAC CTS

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY MY CAR STABILITY SYSTEM SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGED CAUSING MY CAR TO SUDDENLY JERK TO THE LEFT. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR DROPPED A LITTLE ON THAT SIDE AND THE TIRES LOCKED UP. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO FLIP MY CAR BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT IT IN TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SINCE THEN, RANDOMLY, AND AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, ALWAYS THROWING ME TO THE LEFT (INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC!). MY "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO RESET THE SYSTEM BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN JUST THE OTHER DAY WITH MY WIFE IN THE CAR. AGAIN, TRAVELING ABOUT 20MPH, THE CAR DROPPED AND VEERED TO THE LEFT SUDDENLY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS NOW AT A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, AND WE ARE WAITING FOR AN UPDATE. RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL/YEAR BUT WHY NO RECALL? MANY LIVES COULD BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE!!
