Filed Apr 23, 2015 · Driver assistance · 95,000 miles · NM

Electronic stability control problem on the 2003 cadillac escalade traction control light comes on, ABS light comes on, service stability control alarm comes on. When it is not one alarm or the other it is all. Replaced hubs, shocks, sensors, compressor several times, worked on system grounds for electrical, etc. Problem sometime will go away for a few thousand miles then returns. Cadillac mechanics stumped.started when vehicle had almost 80,000 miles now has 146,000 and it is constant problem and large amounts of money. Seems problem cannot be fixed and I do not want to spend more money on it.....

Driving home from work on a slightly icy road, the car ahead of me was coming to a stop. I hit my brakes, but the ground was a little slick so the ABS kicked on. I pushed the pedal harder, there was a pop noise, and my brake pedal went to the floor. The brake warning chime came on, along with a message that said "service braking system" in the dic on the instrument panel. My brakes were no longer functional, and I narrowly avoided hitting the car in front of me. I had a dash cam running at the time, and captured a video of the incident, which I have put on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve6gqfiwq_a I was able to pull into a parking lot up the road, at which point I popped the hood and saw a puddle of brake fluid directly under the master cylinder. When a friend arrived to give me a ride home, I had him push the brake pedal so I could see where the fluid was escaping. It was coming from a split in one of the brake lines under the master cylinder (also on youtube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mudtdmzla2u I noted that all of the brake lines that I could see looked extremely corroded, and decided to file a complaint once I saw that it wasn't a freak incident and that many others have had similar problems with their gm trucks / suvs.

Dt: consumer complained about a brake problem. Intermittently, while driving at 35 MPH or above and if needed to come to an immediate stop it won't stop like it should. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said brake pads were fine, and they did need not take apart the ABS system. Also, they checked a diagnostic machine, but it did not show any codes. Consumer's vehicle rear ended another vehicle due to brake failure. Noticed this around august 1, 2005.

While driving down the road service stability track message would appear on the dashboard message center. That would then disable the traction control system. An audible ding-ding would sound about every thirty-seconds as you were driving down the road. The button on the dash was inoperable and would not shut off the system. Cadillac advised my dealer that I would have to wait for the 2004 models to be released to get the problem fixed. When vehicle was in the shop to be fixed it was also found that the ABS module needed to be replaced because that was not functional. I had 50 miles on the vehicle when the problem was first noticed.

Suspension service stability disabled digital warning 5 times. On the first occasion it also read reduced power and powered down from 70 to 35 MPH within seconds when driven in freeway traffic. Remote analysis by onstar indicated most recently an ABS problem required service. Other fuse and wire/short problems have occurred within the dash.
