TAKATA RECALL- I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS REMEDIED AND WAS TOLD GM DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS? I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY BMW 3 SERIES AND CHRYSLER 200 AIRBAGS FIXED SO WHY IS GM HAVING ISSUES WITH REPLACING THEM? THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO HAS ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF CORROSION AT ALL THE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS, I SAW THERE HAS BEEN A TECHNICAL BULLETIN POSTED FOR THIS, SO WHAT HAS GM DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE ALSO? I JUST BOUGHT THE CADILLAC AND THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THIS RECALL NOT GETTING DONE.

I HAVE THE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" , "STABILITRAK", "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON AND ENGINE IS CONSUMING QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND IS NOW KNOCKING. AFTER ELIMINATING OTHER AREAS, THE MECHANIC HAS CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THE KNOCKING IS FROM THE RESULT OF A FAULTY PUSH ROD. I BELIEVE THAT I AM THE 3RD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 160,000+ MILES. I AM A [XXX] DRIVER WITH 4 JUVENILE CHILDREN AND USE THE CADILLAC PRIMARILY FOR FAMILY TRIPS AS I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. SOME OF THE REVIEWS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ENGINE SAY THAT THE ENGINE IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY. AND EVEN THOUGH THE MILES THAT ARE CURRENTLY GETTING HIGH, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS ENGINE HAS ACHIEVED IT. THE WARNING LIGHTS THAT I HAVE LISTED HAVE ONLY CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.
