| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 cadillac sts and just had the brakes fail , but fortunately not in a way that there was a crash. i was told by the service writer at saint clare cadillac in santa clara, ca that the brake line from the master cylinder to the front brakes failed due to a defective clip. he stated that this was the fourth car this month that has had this problem. the plastic clip comes loose and the brake line rubs against the transmission housing and eventually fails. i was very lucky that this failure happened in my driveway as i live in a mountain area of santa cruz county, ca. the brake failed by pumping fluid out of the hole every time the brake was depressed until there was insufficient fluid to keep the pedal from going to the floor. this is what happened to me. should not this be an immediate recall item by general motors |
