Brakes, Cadillac De Villle

Asked by GuruX786M Nov 24, 2018 at 10:52 AM about the 1996 Cadillac DeVille Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Brakes had always worked fine. Drove it next door one day; while returning,
brakes went completely out. Pedal went straight to the floor with no effort. Now
not any trace braking action at all. Fluid resevoir is full.
A couple minutes later, the center of digital dash lights went out.
What'd cause these things?

There is something with the '11-12 SRX that causes the brake to go to the floor and stick after hitting slight bumps. My local mechanic said that GM will do what they have to do if you get a verifiable repair place to confirm that it is happening. Because it doesn't happen all of the time, I dont know how we are suppose to prove it to the repair shop. But it is not a simple fix. They will have to remove you dash and replace some crazy expensive part. The cost is approximately $4500. That's why they are not trying to make it public. Please be careful driving, and watch the bumps until you can get it "verified ". AMD dont waste money getting routine brake jobs done amd redone.
