" takata recall " when drifting forward lighting touching brakes they make a loud squeaking sound. When car is in reverse lighting touching the brakes they make a loud squeaking sound. Very embarrassing!!! never purchased a car with brake issues like this and being told this just happens will go away and not being able to have them repaired. I was even told that Cadillac are known for brake issues...so fix the problem! they never hear the squeaking noise because they don't drive the vehi cle everyday. It's their loud and clear. Just brought ready to trade in fir something else.
