WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A VERY LOW SPEED MY ENGINE BY ITSELF ACCELERATED VERY FAST AND I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT THIS DID NOT STOP THE CAR SO I PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND KEPT MY FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE VERY FAST BUT EVENTUALLY STOPPED. MY CAR WAS TOTALLED AS IT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH HIT THE CAR ON IT SIDE WHEN I WAS GOING FORWARD, WHEN IT WAS IN REVERSE I DID NOT HIT ANY CARS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE CARS I HIT AND I DID NOT GET HURT. THERE WAS A WITNESS WHO SAW MY BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHEN MY CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATING.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS IGITION SWITCH BEFORE. THE IGITION SWITCH IS NOT LOCKING AND SO IS THE STEERING WHEEL. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DISCOVER THIS. I'M AFRAID THIS MAY CAUSE OTHERS ISSUES.

THE FRONT HEATED/COOLED SEATS WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE DRIVING, SINCE JANUARY 2017. TWO WEEKS AGO THEY STOPPED ALTOGETHER. UPON INVESTIGATION I HAD TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT IN ORDER TO INSPECT THE CONTROL MODULE. I FOUND TWO WIRES BURNED AND THE LARGE PLUG STUCK IN THE CONTROL MODULE PIN AREA. I'M WAITING ON SOME PARTS BEFORE I CAN PROCEED WITH THE POSSIBLE REPAIR. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO HAVE GM REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. IT IS DEFINITELY A FIRE HAZARD. THE NUMBER ON THE CONTROL MODULE IS 100-1325-F. THERE MAY BE ANOTHER SPECIFIC NUMBER BUT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ON THE INTERNET.

NOT A COMPLAINT BUT A CLARIFICATION REGARDING COMPLAINT NUMBER 10946916. I HAD OVER HEATING ON MY BRAKES DOWN A LONG DOWNHILL RUN. IN DRIVE (D) THE CADILLAC FREEWHEELS AND DOES NOT ENGINE BRAKE, REQUIRING CONSTANT USE OF BRAKES. THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER SAID I COULD NOT ENGINE BRAKE IN MY DTS. THAT RESULTED IN THE OVERHEATING THE FRONT BRAKE DISKS. BUT AFTER CONTACTING CADILLAC CORPORATE THEY INFORMED ME I COULD USE D3 AND D2 TO ENGINE BRAKE. THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE OVERHEATING OF MY FRONT BRAKE DISKS. THE FRONT DISKS SHOULD STILL HAVE ABSORBED THE HEAT WITHOUT OVERHEATING BUT AT LEAST NOW I CAN GO DOWN THAT STRETCH WITHOUT CONCERN.
