Ft. Myers Cadillac Dts To Come Standard With Brake Override Protection

Remember when Toyota was slammed with brake problems

, lawsuits, recalls and pressure and indictment from the federal government? You should because it was really only a few weeks ago. The U.S. automotive climate has been heavily affected by the problems as has the global industry, which seeks to quickly learn from Toyotas mistakes to make themselves less susceptible to equipment failures. It seems like some of the industrys most heavily hit brands during the recession are kicking into full gear to get a leg-up on problems that have plagued other manufacturers, and your Ft. Myers Cadillac DTS dealer is one of the places you will find that is taking big measures.

According to new reports, it looks like GM might be one of the first manufacturers to incorporate brake override systems in their products. While GM should be the first, other manufacturers are learning from Toyota and following suit. But new and used Ft. Myers Cadillac dealers will be some of the first places to see this new technology drop on the consumer driving market, which isnt a surprise considering the reputation for excellence that the Cadillac brand has earned over the years. But Ft. Myers Cadillac DTS dealers will tell you that consumers might see the jump as a pleasant surprise following the problems and transgressions of GM in the recent past.

Yes, were of course talking about the bailout of the Big Three manufacturers, who didnt seem to garner a lot of loyalists over the period of the recession. In 2009, the numbers pretty much spoke for themselves, but new and used Ft. Myers Cadillac dealers have been noticing an important trend towards recovery. In fact, sales numbers are up across the board, and GMs luxury brand is definitely among the brands that are coming back with quite a vengeance. Just ask any Ft. Myers Cadillac DTS driver and youll see that the brand is catering to its audience with the excellence weve seen in the past.

In terms of the actual brake technology, the override system will come standard with automatic transmission and electric throttle control vehicles, manifesting itself as an enhanced smart pedal that will drop by 2012. Used Ft. Myers Cadillac dealers will still sell vehicles without the new technology, but it looks like all future Cadillacs will come equipped with the enhanced smart pedal. The unit is meant to reduce engine power if accelerator and brake pedals are depressed simultaneously.

According to the GM press release, "News media analyses of government data consistently validates that GM's safety record on this issue is among the strongest in the industry," said Tom Stephens, vice chairman, GM Global Product Operations. "At the same time, we know safety is top of mind for consumers, so we are applying additional technology to reassure them that they can count on the brakes in their GM vehicle."

Its great to see GM putting itself back in the game. This new safety feature is sure to raise the bar for the wayward manufacturer.
