TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, THE ABS AND ENGINE LIGHTS BEGAN ILLUMINATING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

SOON AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, ABS/TRACTION DISABLED MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON AND THE PEDAL WILL KICK BACK. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN MORE THAN 10 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER CHIP AND WIRING HARNESS AND IT STILL OCCURS. SOMETIMES JUST BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE IT HAPPENS. HAVE HAD ONLY ONE PANIC STOP AND THE ABS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK AS THE CAR SKIDDED AND STEERING CONTROL WAS LOST. WE ARE GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT SAFETY ISSUES EXIST. A YEAR LATER, WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER WHO IS SERVICING IT. IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ?
