AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/12 Report--

Braking safety is a recent requirement for vehicles, because this problem may threaten personal safety, light damage to the vehicle, serious damage may cause car death, and kill others.

Recently, some netizens revealed that they have a Cadillac XT4, but through understanding and finding that the vehicle has many complaints about brake failure, I feel some fear. From the pictures provided by netizens, we can see that there are 10 problems with brake failure.

According to the website, the XT4 model with braking situation is not only one of the configurations, but also cases of other configurations. In addition, Cadillac CT6 and XT5 also have many brake failures. The most recent occurred in September this year.

According to the specific complaints, the owner bought the Cadillac CT6 at the end of August this year. After driving for half a month, he found that the vehicle had brake failure on the way. After half an hour after the flameout, the vehicle was restarted, but later remembered that there were not many vehicles on the road, otherwise it would be unthinkable. The owner also took a video of the brakes failing.

Also in September this year, a Cadillac XT4 owner, on the way to the vehicle suddenly think of alarm sound, the dashboard will display fault code and prompt, then the front speed slow down, the owner steps on the brakes need to be very strong to stop, the brakes have no power at all, then see the dashboard is all fault, there is no way only reluctantly step on the brakes is also used a lot of force to stop, restart the vehicle 5 times, the brakes returned to normal.

For the explanation of the problem, 4S shop has said that it is caused by system crash, which can be solved by removing the fault code; or it is a system problem, which can be solved by following the new one; there is also a brake module failure, resulting in accidental brake failure. Generally speaking, it is basically attributed to system problems. And there is no guarantee that the vehicle will not have problems after repair.

Many owners therefore want to return the car, after all, the brake problem has threatened personal safety. However, if rejected by the store, there are also said to return the car, the purchase tax and vehicle depreciation expenses also need to be deducted, the owner will lose a lot, because Cadillac's preservation rate is not high, and many owners are just bought a new car not long ago. In addition, they are required to sign a confidentiality agreement.

In fact, there have been many cases of searching for "Cadillac failure" on Baidu. Many media have reported it before, but it seems that it has not attracted Cadillac's attention. According to the Defective Product Management Center of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, Cadillac has not recalled due to braking problems at present.

Cadillac, as a second-tier luxury brand, performed well this year. According to the latest sales data released by SAIC GM, Cadillac's cumulative sales volume in China from January to October was 178,048 vehicles, still ranking first in the second tier; Among them, the cumulative sales volume of CT6 models increased by 31.3% year-on-year from January to October. After all, Cadillac also experienced sales rising against the trend by relying on the strategy of "fracture discount".

It is worth mentioning that the new CT6 also did the so-called "braking distance" comparison test drive when it went on the market, proud to use Brembo custom brake system, but as a luxury brand flagship car, even the most basic safety can not do well, and talk about luxury? So Cadillac should not take this problem seriously, otherwise the second-tier luxury status will not be guaranteed.
