2003 CADILLAC CTS Complaints

THERE WAS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO WADRIVE. *MR THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE FIXED OR HIS MONEY BACK. *SC *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, T HE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATED. THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT IT WAS INEFFECTIVE. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *SC *JB

TIRES ARE CUPPING AT 15,000 MILES. IT'S CAUSING VIBRATION AND NOISE. I ROTATED THEM AT 10,000. *AK

HID HEADLIGHTS S.U.C.K., IN ALMOST ALL INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE HAD THE MISFORUNE OF HAVING A VEHICLE SO EQUIPED COMING AT ME I HAVE HAD TO SHIELD MY EYES BECAUSE OF THE GLARE AND EYE STRAIN. KNOWING THAT DOT AND ASSOCIATED AGENCIES SEEM TO HAVE A REGULATION FOR EVERYTHING AUTOMOTIVE. I THOUGHT MAYBE A USEFUL REGULATION COULD BE ENACTED REGARDING THESE SAFETY HAZARDS THAT THE "BIG 3" ARE TRYING TO PASS OFF AS HEADLIGHTS. I AM NOW LIVING IN EUROPE AND HERE HEADLIGHTS DON'T GLARE DRIVERS LIKE US SPEC LIGHTS DO. WHY DOES THE REST OF THE WORLD HAVE REAL HEADLIGHS AND IN THE US WE HAVE TO HAVE THESE POORLY AIMED "FLOOD LIGHTS". CURRENT US HEADLIGHTS ARE IN SERIOUS NEED OF A NEW STANDARD THAT MATCHES THE REST OF THE WORLD. THAT WAY I, AND THE REST OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC, WON'T HAVE TO DRIVE WITH SUNGLASSES ON AT NIGHT.*AK

2002 CADALLIC CTC HAS NOT TRUCK KEY LOCK. ADVERSE CONDITIONS OCCUR WHEN THE BATTERY FAILS AS ALL, AND I MEAN ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. ONE CANNOT GET INTO THE TRUNK,USE THE PHONE, OR EVEN GET THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. BUT, NOT HAVING A KEY LOCK FOR THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE.*AK

TIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT 30,000 MILES DUE TO WEAR AND POOR CONDITION. THE TIRES CAME WITH THE NEW VEHICLE. I HAD PREVIOUS;LY REQUESTED THE DEALER AT ABOUT 24,000 MILES TO CHECK THE TIRES BECAUSE OF STEERING VIBRATION AND ABERRENT SOUNDS FROM THE WHEELS.*AK

CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE BUT WENT FORWARD INSTEAD, JUMPED CURB AND HIT LIGHT POLE.*AK

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON LOW BEAM THEY PRODUCED A DARK SPOT. AS A RESULT, VISION IS IMPAIRED. *AK *SC

PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR (95%) WEAR AT 22,000 MILES WITH LIGHT USAGE. (NO HILLS, FLAT TERRAIN,) *LA

(CORRECTED COMPLAINT) HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM ON THE CADILLAC CTS 2003 HAS A BLACK BAR THAT REDUCES VISION TO ABOUT 75 FEET AND ON DARK COUNTRY ROADS, THIS SHORTENED VISION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE HEADLIGHT SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THIS CONDITION. WHAT WAS CADILLAC THINKING? CADILLAC DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T EVER DRIVE THEIR PRODUCT ON DARK ROADS AT NIGHT. THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED!! IT IS AWFUL! *AK
