The vacuum pump failed and caused catastrophic engine failure. The vacuum pump was constructed with substandard design and the composition of the parts within the vacuum pumps internal components. The vacuum pump is an integral part of the emissions system, the braking system and the engine. This is not an isolated incident as the replacement vacuum pump, even if replaced, will fail again. The pump should have been designed with a shear pin so the engine camshaft would not have been destroyed.

I had adaptive cruise on, was at a stop light, so adaptive stopped, the truck in front of me moved because the light turned green, so to engage the cruise I gently gave it gas and I felt the cruise kick so I moved my foot and then the car lunged into the trailer hitch of the truck in front of me. I had no time to react, the crash warning did not flash nor did the braking assist engage. Luckily the guy I hit was not affected the hitch prevented damage to his truck but my car took all the damage. I was so shook that before I could apply brakes my car still was trying to move forward even though it had hit the hitch. This was on a highway just as it was merging to a street. I contacted Cadillac/GM and sent them pictures and 2 days later they called and said I had no case, they did not even send me to a dealer to check out the system by a professional.

Went to pull into a parking spot, hit the brake, the car sped up hitting another parked car. I had a problem yesterday, put car in cruise control(50 mph) on the highway, went to brake to turn, cruise control would not disconnect, had to shut the system off manually. Similar periodic problems in the past.
