CTS 6-cyl

  • 84,000 miles
While pulling into a parking spot with the wheels turned sharply, the braking became rough and the car would not stop without significant pressure on the brake pedal. This was the 5th time this has happened. Each time it occurs at low speed when the wheel is turned sharply. Brake indicator lights do not go on. I have come very close to hitting other cars when this occurs. My repair man has not been able to identify a problem.
