Service Brakes

Filed Oct 25, 2026FL

This 2024 Cadillac CT5v car with 15500 miles has a failed ECBM (Electronic Brake Control Module) per Sunset Cadillac in Sarasota on Bay Street, causing dragging brakes that requires a complete brake change because of severe overheating. Consequential damage caused by a failed warrantied module, including effected parts are covered by law under GM's factory warranty. I also have a Platinum Maintenance Plan plus an 8 year Platinum Extended Warranty Plan purchased through GM.

Air BagsCrash1 injured1 killed

Filed Nov 23, 2025CA

Air bags did not deploy in bad car accident. Safety issue.

Structure

Filed Apr 26, 2025RI

Issue with all doors and trunk moldings - after heavy rain or after washing the car, the frames inside all doors and trunk have water. This will cause rust and body rot over time. Spoke with the dealer yesterday regarding this issue and was told that all cars have issues and I am not alone complaining about this issue.

Reading this record

1 death reported in complaints filed with NHTSA.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
