2002 Cadillac Cadillac problems

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

2002 cadillac deville, clicking in right rear wheel bearing. Dealing checked bearing, found it to be bad, and noted that left front was also going bad. Rear bearing replaced, front bearing tighted, dealer suggested periodic checks, may need replacement in future. This call is less that 3 years old, 60k miles, bearing should not be going bad. This car was not in an accident, nor curbs struck, not was it setting un-used for any length of time. These are scenarios the dealer tried to explain to me why wheel bearing went bad with 60k miles. I explained that neither of those scenarios were experienced by me/this car.l

Headlight low beam on the cadillac cts 2000 has a black bar that reduces vision to about 75 ft and on dark country roads, this shortened vision is extremely dangerous. The headlight should be a recall before serious accidents occur as a result of this condition. What was cadillac thinking? Cadillac doesn't seem to think there is a problem but obviously they don't ever drive their product on dark roads at night. This headlight problem needs to be corrected!! It is awful!

While driving transmission burned up, and when putting vehicle into any gear, it will continue to move forward. Contacted dealer, and the dealer replaced transmission. *ak cadillac dts 2002
