Takata recall. One day was driving all was well it had just sprinkled before ia left home. Roads were whet I slowed down to cross rr tracks when increased gas tires slipped or spun a lil, from bumps on tracks and acceleration made numerous sensors I think got faulty. Suspension traction, service engine soon, , ABS, and air bag. I reset information control center. But with in 3 mins after you take off they all light up again ABS I just changed brake pads 4 months ago there still under warranty.going with ceramic this time. I also have 2 psi sensors out. Neither back window goes down one needs motor the other on the regulator a plastic clip that keeps it inline is worn out. I figured that out. But idk why all them safety warnings came on and why I cannot get traction control to ever go off? just find it weird happened all at once car still starts and runs fine. I'm just worried I think air bag needs to be recharged or inspected.my plan is to restore it needs minor repairs but dealerships is a rip off. If I can find where these electrical sensors are I will do it my self. They ridiculously over charge for everything. I was crossing rail road tracts at a slight angle.cause unknown.

The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated that the brakes had been applied and the pedal traveled to the floorboard. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the brake lines prematurely rusted and there was a presence of brake fluid leakage. The contact's vehicle was not included in a manufacturer recall for the brake system. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified and provided no solution. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated while driving approximately 4 mph, the brake pedal sank into the floorboard and the vehicle failed to slow down after numerous attempts. The vehicle continued to accelerate into an intersection where another vehicle crashed in the driver's side. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact suffered from whiplash which required medical treatment. The driver in the other vehicle was transported to the hospital. A police report was filed of the incident. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to the contact's residence. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

I was leaving a restaurant and as I was crossing the intersection my car shut off, I got it started and as I got to the red light it shut off again so had to keep my foot on the brake and gas at the same time. Once I got back on the interstate I had no more problems. About 6 months later I was at mcdonalds drive-thru at 2am when my car shut off, I coasted into the closest parking space and my car locked up and I had no power at all and I was locked inside I manually unlocked my door got out of my car and I had to call aaa. My car would not crank when aaa man tried to jump under the hood, he had to take my backseat out to jump start it, he got it started and he told me he couldn't understand what happened. On another occasion my gas pedal sticks and I had to pull over and shut my car off and I waited about 5 minutes and started my car up and it was fine after that, and my car still shuts off most when I am idling or going slow thru town and my service stability warning steady runs, I turn the reset button and it comes back on, please help me fix these problems because I love my car.
