All Electronic Stability Control Esc Complaints
CAR STOPPED OPERATING ALL OF A SUDDEN. BATTERY CHARGING ISSUE.
THE CHECK ENGINE CODE SHOWED THE INTERNAL POWER MODULE FAILURE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS WAS WITHOUT WARNING AND MADE THE CAR'S POWER BRAKES AND STEERING TO BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND BRAKE THE CAR BY MY WIFE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME WITH THE CHECK ENGINE OFF THEY SAID I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND AGAIN AN ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED. THE DEALER DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND REPLACED THE MODULE PLUS THE COMPUTER AT A COST OF $750. THIS IS THE NINTH CADILLAC I HAVE OWNED SINCE 1980 WHEN I PURCHASED A SEVILLE WITH A DIESEL ENGINE AND THIS IS THE FIRST THAT HAD A DEFECTIVE POWER...
THE ABS WILL RANDOMLY APPLY IN GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR NO REASON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED CAUSING YOU TO POTENTIALLY LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HAD THE ABS MODULE REPLACED AND ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MONTHS AFTER VERY COSTLY REPAIR. NOTE: VEHICLE HAD A CODE "YAW RATE SENSOR"
