    I bought a 2012cadillac about a month agoand was told by the dealer that there was no recalls on this car,but when i personally ran the vin number,it says this car has been recalled and I need to stop driving it because it's dangerous for me to be driving it because it could cause me to crash.this dealer ship also,grossly overcharged me, charging me "several thousand dollars more than the actual listed price".This car also floods my driver side and passenger side floors eachtime it rains.The water is coming in via my sunroof,which is causing my car to smell, and consequently gonna rot out my floor, and perhaps damage my electrical system and god only knows what other damage this water is doing to the integrity of my car.The dealer had me take my car to his mechanic who told me the problem was fixed which was a lie, because two days after he allegedly fixed the water problem, it rained and when i got in my car to go to an appointment... my floors were flooded with water again. The dealer who I bought the car from-"Arrow Motors",told me to take it back to his mechanic. between this leaking sunroof, and the recall i just found out about...I am really upset that this dealer sold me this car that is clearly defective and very unsafe and charged me $17,000. I feel like this guy lied to me and took advantage of me, I asked him several times if there was a recall on this car and he looked me in the eyes and said NO.I also asked him if there was anything wrong with this car and again he looked me in the eyes and said No.He had to have known about the recall,and about the problem with the sunroof leaking water inside the car. I only had this car for a month and spent all my money to buy it, but with the current issues, I feel it's not safe for me drive, and poses a serious risk to others too.P.S. Is there anyway I can get my money back,or sue them?

    There is excessive moisture in both of my head lights due to this issue unfortunately while driving at night I have to leave my high beam lights on so I can see the road my low beam lights are entirely to dim to see to drive at night due to the water build up in my head lights! Due to this safety issue i am afraid to drive at night in fear of blinding on coming traffic or hurting myself while driving at night! When will they take this issue seriously after people have been injured or get killed while driving lets hope this issue is addressed before this occurs!!

    The vehicle lights are dangerously dim. Changing the bulbs hasn’t fixed the problem. The headlights as a whole weren’t sealed properly allowing moisture in.
