1998 Cadillac Deville brakes problems

Filed Feb 15, 2018 · Brakes, Driver assistance · 82,000 miles · FL

My 1998 cadillac deville needs a vital part to it's ABS/traction control function. However, gm has discontinued making the part, (#19244918)with no available substitute. Therefore, leaving my car with no ABS or traction control. Also, the transmission no longer engages 1st gear. (a supposed saftey measure)which in most cases, only puts my family's safety at risk. I do not understand how or if, gm can legally put profits before safety.

Rotors warped due to excessive heat, dealer stated that this happened because of the driver making quick stops from high speeds or riding the brake pedal while vehicle is in motion, consumer states neither of these things have occurred and feels that there is a malfunction within the braking system or ABS, after repairs the right front wheel had an extreme heat build up which consumer could feel, the heat from the left front wheel is hot, but nothing to compare with the right wheel, the rear wheels are only warm.

Car has been owned by the dealer since new rotors have been turned 3 times now for being warped mfgr & dealer refuse to replace them stating this is normal wear and tear but I can buy them aftermarket that are garunteed not to do this mfgr also says needing turned 3 times is normal in 40,000 miles I am concerned that now the rotors are to thin and will warp more even and may possibly fall apart these rotors are over 200.00 each there needs to be a recall on them before someone is killed this is not normal wear and tear I have worked on cars for 40 yrs and have never seen a set that needed turned this often and know turning them this many times makes them unsafe.
