Consumer Description

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS COMING ON AND SOMETIMES BRAKES ARE TOO HARD TO STOP WITHOUT PUMPING. DEALER WANTS $5000 TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER BUT ADMITS THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CAR THEY MANUFACTURED AND CAN'T TELL ME WHATS WRONG. I CONTACTED CADILLAC ABOUT THE INCOMPETENCE OF THEIR AGENTS AND THEY REPLYED THAT THE DEALER WAS INDEPENDENT. I CAN'T SPEND $5000 TO FIND OUT IF THIS WILL FIX IT. THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH THEY WANT TO REPLACE HAS BEEN REPLACED BEFORE IN A 59000 MILE CAR. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD ON THESE CARS AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER OUGHT TO HAVE TO REPAIR THEM UNDER A RECALL TO CORRECT THE DEFECTS.
