2006 CADILLAC DTS Complaints

BREATHING POISONOUS FUMES WHEN DRIVING CAR CAUSEING ME TO GETTING SICK.SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM VENT FROM BURNING OIL LEAKING OFF ENGINE,CANNOT DRIVE CAR DUE TO FUMES VERY POISONOUS AND WITH OUT KNOWLEDGE CAN CAUSE DRIVER TO PASS OUT ,CRASH AND CAUSE MANY DEATHS WHEN CRASHING INTO MAJOR HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS FROM PASSING OUT FROM FUMES

HEADLIGHTS NORMAL (LOW) BEAM INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY INDIVIDUALLY (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT) AND ON OCCASION BOTH HAVE GONE OUT ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES ONE GOES OFF, DON'T REALIZE IT AT FIRST UNTIL THE OTHER GOES OFF.. THERE IS NO COMMONALITY (FOR EXAMPLE, CAN HAPPEN ON SMOOTH ROADS, ON BUMPS, BUT ALSO CAN GO OVER BUMPS AND LIGHTS STAY ON) AND WHEN THE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT, THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK ON IS TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER USING THE AUTOMATIC LIGHT FEATURE OR HAVING THEM MANUALLY TURNED ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. I'VE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS PARTICULAR CAR, AND GM APPEARS TO HAVE DONE A RECALL FOR SIMILAR CARS IN THEIR BUICK AND OTHER LINES BUT NOT FOR CADILLAC.
