While going 45 approaching a red light I casually hit the brakes. The car did not stop. Hitting the brakes to the floor for a 2nd time, the car did not stop.

Engine · at 20,000 miles · reported Apr 6, 2014

Note that it was "repaired" in between the incidents, do it was not the same initial problem. I filed a complaint back then, but got no response. The mechanics at the palo alto cadillac dealer seemed to know of the problem. At the time, they said it was a failure of some sensors on the flywheel.
