Consumer Description

My front passenger side brake keeps locking and overheating. I have replaced the calibers 2 times, my brake pads 2 times and the brake hose all in a period of 3 months. My back rear brake light also gets stuck and stays on after i put my car in park and turn off my car. In order for me to release it, I have to press down firmly on the brake pedal and or restart the car, drive around put it back in park and then press down firmly on the brake pedal for it to turn off. The back rear light staying on and the front passenger brakes overheating happen intermittently multiple times throughout the day or week with no particular pattern. When my front passenger brake overheats, it begins to smoke and shake/vibrate violently which causes me to have to pull the car over and wait about 15min for it to cool down before getting back on the road. No ABS lights, no Engine lights come on, only a message pops up on my dashboard that says "Breaks Overheating" and then it goes away on its own after 15minutes. I see that your website has a preliminary announcement but there should be a recall on this issue. on 9/9 I went to Radley Cadillac on 3421 Jeff Davis Hwy Fredericksburg VA 22401 for a diagnostic & they stated that my Brake Pedal Arm, EBC and BPMV need to be replaced b/c it keeps engaging & locking my front passenger brake. I also went to another repair shop for a 2nd opinion on 9/10 & paid another diag fee they stated the same thing, 4637 Mine Rd, Fredericksburg, VA 22408 that the brake pedal arm will need to be replaced first as to they believe this is the underlying issue and the code C0161 was present. I was quoted over $2800 - $3500 to get this job done. Neither establishments mentioned this service announcement https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10141352-9999.pdf , i found this on my own by researching and googling this problem. I am asking that you deem this is a safety issue as to this involves braking and the safety of my vehicle. thank you.
