Consumer Description

NOT A COMPLAINT BUT A CLARIFICATION REGARDING COMPLAINT NUMBER 10946916. I HAD OVER HEATING ON MY BRAKES DOWN A LONG DOWNHILL RUN. IN DRIVE (D) THE CADILLAC FREEWHEELS AND DOES NOT ENGINE BRAKE, REQUIRING CONSTANT USE OF BRAKES. THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER SAID I COULD NOT ENGINE BRAKE IN MY DTS. THAT RESULTED IN THE OVERHEATING THE FRONT BRAKE DISKS. BUT AFTER CONTACTING CADILLAC CORPORATE THEY INFORMED ME I COULD USE D3 AND D2 TO ENGINE BRAKE. THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE OVERHEATING OF MY FRONT BRAKE DISKS. THE FRONT DISKS SHOULD STILL HAVE ABSORBED THE HEAT WITHOUT OVERHEATING BUT AT LEAST NOW I CAN GO DOWN THAT STRETCH WITHOUT CONCERN.
