"CADILLAC RECALL" THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ON THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND AT TIMES THE CAR DID NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP WHEN BRAKES WERE PRESSED.

DRIVING TO WORK WENT TO STOP AND VEHICLE PULL TO THE SIDE AND WOULD NOT STOP NORMAL. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE REPORTED RIGHT REAR HUB NOT SENSING SPEED SIGNAL AND NEEDED TO REPLACE AND NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I SEE GM AND CADILLAC HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS WHEEL HUD AND HAVE RECALLED ON OTHER MODEL YEARS. THESE ARE $600.00 PER WHEEL TO REPLACE AND THINK THAT THEY SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 39,000 MILES. WOULD NOT WANT TO HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THIS FAILS.I CONTACTED CADILLAC AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE. *TR
