Cadillac CTS Service Stability System MSG? How much does it Cost?

My service stability system pops on in my Cadillac CTS 2003 (65K miles) and brakes engage and it swerves and what not, also my brakes sometime grind and the pedal resists me trying to press it down to stop, when I disengage the stability system I do not have these problems. how much besides the diagnostic (a full-diagnostic at the dealership costs about $130 but it is a very up kept place and is a Chevrolet-Cadillac dealership with GM mechanics) will it cost to fix this? I am also going to get some fluids and filters replaced and maybe the belts.

    Hope you are mechanically inclined. The CTS or Computerized touring system relies on the shocks, all electronically fitted for the system. The front and rear are adjusted to make the vehicle more stable. What you are saying about the brakes sounds like you have worn down to the metal plates of the brake pads. Because the car has front and rear brake discs and has an anti skid system built into it, the system will keep trying to keep the car from going into an uncontrolled slide and that makes your pedal pulse. So if you are mechanically inclined, put the car on jacks, take the wheels off and change out the brake pads and get the discs resurfaced. If they are beyond limits you may have to buy replacements but they are not too expensive as far as the rest of your woes, I have purchased new front shocks on line for around $2,000, then for the rears got smart and went to a local parts yard and those ran $35. Hope this answers your question, the cars are great but need to be taken care of, the brakes, by the way have a tab on then that make a squealing noise, a fairly reliable indication of that is the looks you get from other drivers when you stop because they might hear it and the Cadillac is well sound proofed.

    It means you have to take it in to get serviced. Something is wrong with the Stability control system.
