CHECK ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT REPEATEDLY WAS OCCURRING; IT WAS FIXED BY REPLACING SENSORS. THIRD TIME CHECK ENGINE SERVICE APPEARS AGAIN THIS TIME THE FACTORY"HEADS" IN THE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE SOME ONGOING TYPE OF DEFAULT OR DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SECOND INCIDENT WITH FAULTY ABS MODULE. THE DEALER CHARGED OVER $2000 TO FIX IN 2005 AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATES THE PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY GM IS PUTTING DEFECTIVE PARTS IN CARS CONTINUOUSLY AND OVERCHARGING CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAKAGE INTO CAB OF 1998 FORD RANGER CAUSED SEVERE SLEEPINESS WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK AND WHILE AT HOME. EACH DAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH I WAS EXPERIENCING DIZZINESS, SLEEPINESS AND NAUSEA. I HAD A SMALL ACCIDENT WHEN I FEEL ASLEEP WHILE STOPPING FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I REPORTED MY DIZZINESS AND SLEEPINESS TO MY SUPERVISOR WHO NOTIFIED OUR MEDICAL DEPARTMENT AND THEY SENT ME HOME. I HAD A MEDICAL STRESS TEST PERFORMED; IT WAS OK', A SLEEP STUDY PERFORMED AND THE CARDIOLOGIST INCREASED MY DOSAGE OF A BETA BLOCKER. I WAS FINALLY RELEASED TO RETURN TO WORK TWO MONTHS LATER. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER SHORTLY AFTER I WAS SENT HOME AND THEY REPORTED THERE WAS NO CO LEAKING INTO MY CAB. I TRIED DISCUSSING MY PROBLEM WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT THEY SAID THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THAT'S ALL THEY COULD DO FOR THE CARBON MONOXIDE WAS ENTERING INTO MY CAB FROM THE EXHAUST OF OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I FINALLY FOUND AND BOUGHT A DIGITAL CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR WHICH WOULD READ ANY LEVEL OF CO DETECTED. THE FIRST DAY I DROVE TO WORK IT INDICATED 18 PPM CO POISON AND ANOTHER 16 PPM CO POISON ON THE DRIVE HOME AFTER WORK WHICH TOTALED AROUND 34 PPM PER DAY FOR OVER A MONTH. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY DOCTOR AND REQUESTED A BLOOD GAS TEST WHICH INDICATED A HIGH LEVEL OF CO IN MY BLOOD. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE PULMONARY DOCTOR THAT THE SLEEPINESS WAS CAUSED BY CO POISONING ENTERING THE CAB OF MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK IS NOW PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR OVER THREE MONTHS. *TR

2007 TAHOE NEW JUST OFF THE LOT HAD A SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT 70 MPH, DIDN'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE OUTFITTED WITH AFTERMARKET RIMS AND TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE FACTORY TIRES PROBABLY HAD A FLAT SPOT FROM SITTING ON THE LOT. WITH THE NEW AFTERMARKET WHEELS THE STEERING WHEEL STILL HAD THE SHAKE AND A VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH STILL REMAIN AND THE TIRES HAVE FEATHERED AND CUPPED. THEY ROTATED THE REARS TO THE FRONT AND THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO FEATHER. THE VEHICLE HAS 15000 MILES AND GOING INTO IT'S 12TH MONTH WITH NO RESOLVE. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON JULY 16, 2007. I HAD MY CAR TOWED . I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 1-11/2 WEEKS TO REPAIR. I LATER CALLED TO CHECK ON MY 2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPAIR MY CAR BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT WAS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO HEADLIGHTS AVAILABLE. MY INSURANCE COVERED A RENTAL CAR FOR 30 DAYS. I WAS THEN TOLD I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A CAR. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CALL CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE. I DID SO. I SPOKE WITH PATRICIA PAQUETTE AND WAS GIVEN A SERV. REQ. # OF 71-562847807. SHE SAID SHE WOULD CHECK ON MY PROBLEM AND RETURN MY CALL IN 24 TO 72 HRS. SHE CALLED BACK AND SAID SHE WAS REFERRING MY CALL TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND NKEMDILIM NWANKWO WOULD HANDLE IT.. SHE SAID I SHOULD GET A CALL IN 24 RO 72 HOURS. THIS PERSON NEVER CALLED. I CALLED BACK AND LEFT A MESSAGE ON VOICE MAIL AT EXT. 11310. I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL. I WAS PUT IN CONTACT WITH MS. GARCIA. EXT 11442. SHE SAID SHE WOULD CHECK AND CALL BACK. . SHE DID NOT CALL. I CALLED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AND DID NOT GET A CALL BACK. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HER SUPV.. THE SERV. REP. SAID I COULD NOT SPEAK TO ANY SUPV.R, BUT THAT SHE WOULD ASK HER SUPV. TO CONTACT MS. GARCIA'S SUPV. AND ASK THEM TO CALL ME. I HAVE NOT YET SPOKEN TO A SUPV. I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE AT HOME ( AFTER ASKING EVERYONE TO CALL MY CELL #) THAT SAID THE PERSON WAS CALLING FOR MS. GARCIA AND T THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF NOVEMBER. DURING THIS TIME, I HAVE BEEN GIVEN SEVERAL POSSIBLE DATES. I THOUGHT CAR COMPANIES WERE TO PROVIDE SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR THEIR CARS. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR OVER 4 MONTHS. I CAN NOT GET SATISFACTORY INFORMATION OR SERVICE FROM CADILLAC. I AM SURE THERE MUST BE SOME RECOURSE. I CANNOT SAFELY OPERATIVE MY CAR WITHOUT THIS PART. . MY ATTORNEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD. YOU WERE THE CHOICE FROM THEM TO FILE A VEHICLE COMPLAINT. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER THAT RECENTLY HAD TO BE REPAIRED. I FEEL THAT A RECALL ITEM SHOULD COVER COST OF THE REPAIR. THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IN A NUTSHELL, THE SYMPTOMS THAT THE CAR HAD ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THOSE MENTIONED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 01V364000. BOTH REAR, OUTSIDE STOPLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE CENTER STOP AND THE TURN SIGNALS WORKED FINE. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AT A COST OF $470.29. ON THE INVOICE THE ITEM REPLACED IS A MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH? *TR
