Rear brakes wore out with over 50% of front pads remaining. Ive owned over 30 cars and trucks in my life and this is a first. Dealer tells me its normal. Since historically 99.99% of all vehicles perform 80% of braking with the front brakes it seems that there is something wrong with the brake balancing system on my car. Asked for cadillac to put in writing that this is how these brakes were designed. They told me they dont do that. When I put my 3 year old & 2 year old little girls in this car I want to know that it is safe and cadillac is willing to say so in writing. I dont believe the brake system is right.

Parking brake does not hold car when parked on a grade. Dealer said it was a common problem with escalades. No recall/warranty.

The car's emergency brake while fully engaged will not stop the car from rolling down a 5% grade driveway. I took the car to the dealership and they said this isn't the first time these have come back for this problem. However they don't have a protocal or recall notice so they can't fix the problem. If this SUV were parked on a hill with the emergency brake applied and the car was shifted into neutral by a child. Their could be a grave accident that could result in fatalities to pedestrians and people in the vehicle. By the dealership refusing to fix this problem, I am concerned with the safety of the people.
