I noticed my brakes started squeaking when I would push the braking pedal. One day, I was pulling up to a bank, drive-through, applying pressure to the brakes, and I had stopped. I let off the break to pull up a little farther, but when reapplying the break, the pedal went all the way to the floor and there was a warning light saying something about servicing the brakes. I immediately picked up my foot and reapplied it to the brake pedal two or three times and the pedal did come back up to normal position. Then stopped me from hitting the car in front of me. The warning light turned off a few minutes later. The squeaking went away as well. That was a couple months back. But this week my brakes are starting to squeak again when I apply the pedal. So I-??m worrying that the brakes may go out again. This vehicle has a very rough ride. I hear rattles when driving. It sounds like something is going to fall off soon. Since the warning light turned off, I did not take my vehicle to the dealership for service.

I was pulling forward in a parking garage and it nearly pinned a pedestrian into a parked car. The brakes didn't respond as normal. I had to put most of my weight on the pedal to bring the car to a stop. It was really scary. I took it to the dealer and they said it is a known issue covered under warranty and has to do with a vacuum pump used in the electronic brake system. I thought this was reckless and it should be fixed and not wait until a serious incident. The service advisor [XXX] from Tom Kelly Cadillac, Fort Wayne, IN) even commented that it scared him the first time he drove a customer's car with this issue. He was shocked how hard it was to stop. If this hasn't already, it will cost someone their life. Please help!!! I don't want someone to die for a known issue.

Luckily no one was in front of me, and I wasn't going fast or it could have been extremely bad especially having my son with me. My brakes literally quit working. I have a 2018 platinum Escalade. Always been serviced to date. I called on star and now waiting on a roll back to take to the dealership. I was pulling into a gas station with my son and felt like I couldn't stop but thought maybe something was slick, I dropped him off to his grandma, pulled into mcdonald's drive thru when it did it again. I backed out of the drive then and called my fianc. There's a fast change lol and lube a mile from where I was, so I slowly pulled into the highway to make it there. Once there even going slow it was hard to stop the vehicle. I pushed the brake as far as it would go to the point it was on the floor, it made a grinding noise. I have never been so scared in my life. Knowing I have had my baby in the car with me.
