I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DIRECTLY FROM MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WHERE THE FIRST OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A CLEAN SERVICE HISTORY AND THAT IT WAS THOROUGHLY LOOKED OVER. WITHIN THE ONE AND A HALF YEARS I OWN THE VEHICLE I REPLACED BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, AND HAVE HAD THREE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. I CONTACTED CADILLAC CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THE WINDOWS ARE DEFECTIVE. AFTER SEEING AT LEAST SIX COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH THE NTSB AND FINDING OUT THAT THE DEALERS IN MY IMMEDIATE AREA KEEP THE WINDOW REGULATORS ROUTINELY STOCKED TELLS ME THAT THERE IS IN FACT A DEFECT. WHY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND WHY NOT AN HONEST ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITH THE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE REMAINED LOYAL TO GM OVER THE YEARS? I'M SORRY BUT THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT WILL MAKE ME THINK TWICE ABOUT WHAT BRAND OF VEHICLES MY FAMILY & I PURCHASE IN THE FUTURE. *TR
