Some Cadillac ATS owners report experiencing issues with the Brake Assist Light, which can indicate a major brake component failure often caused by pressure loss, leading to a "mushy" brake pedal. Common triggers for the Brake Assist Light activation include problems with the brake light switch, wiring harness issues, or low brake fluid levels. These owners emphasize the importance of addressing the Brake Assist Light promptly to ensure safe brake functionality. Additionally, some Cadillac ATS owners report dealing with a leaking cam seal, which can result in oil leaks and potential engine damage if not repaired quickly. With an expired warranty, the financial burden of repairs for both the Brake Assist Light and leaking cam seal typically falls on the owner, making it advisable to consult a trusted mechanic or Cadillac specialist to evaluate the issues and explore cost-effective repair options.
