CADILLAC Complaints

MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO POWER FOR BRAKES, STEERING OR LIGHTS. I HAD RECALL FOR KEY ROTATION COMPLETED LAST WEEK BUT MY CAR TURNED OFF LAST NIGHT WHILE DOING 70 ON INTERSTATE. THE MOSSY OF PICAYUNE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE RECALL MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE BUT FROM WHAT I READ BEFORE TAKING CAR IN...THE PROBLEM WITH KEY ROTATION CAUSES CAR TO TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED TO PREVENT BODILY HARM TO MYSELF AND POSSIBLY OTHERS. THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNING OFF PRIOR TO THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SLOWED DOWN AFTER THE TRACTION ENGAGED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED RAPIDLY INCREASED; HOWEVER, THE SPEED BEGAN TO INDEPENDENTLY SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S MANUAL INSTRUCTED HIM TO DEPRESS THE TRACTION BUTTON THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BUTTON AND IT RE-ENGAGED THE TRACTION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,400.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY DIM. BULBS WERE REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CADILLAC ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO SPEND $3000 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS BUT OFFERED NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED REGARDING THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE DIMNESS IN 2012, BUT THAT BULLETIN HAD EXPIRED. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT SPENDING 10% OF THE COST OF THE CAR TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS.

AT CRUISING SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL DISPLAY SERVICE STABILITRACK,TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL, AND REDUCING ENGINE POWER. NOT ALLOWING YOU TO GO FASTER THE 15 MPH. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD WAY.

MY 2007 CADILLAC CTS HAS HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED AT 60,000 MILES!! I AM NOW EXPERIENCING SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS & HAZARDOUS BRAKE ISSUES WHEN PARKING &/OR TURNING THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY!! THE BRAKES PULSATE & GO TO THE FLOOR BUT FAIL TO STOP!! THE SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON & THE ABS/TC LIGHT AS WELL, BUT THEN WILL GO OFF BEFORE I CAN MAKE IT TO THE DEALER!! WHEN I PARKED ON A HILL MY CAR FAILED TO STAY PARKED & STARTED TO DRIFT BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL SO I HAD TO JUMP IN & HIT THE BRAKES MANUALLY!! ALSO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON THE DASH & INFORMATION CENTER THEN NOW IT IS STAYING ON AT 90,000 MILES. I CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THE BRAKE ISSUES & THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALLS FOR ANY BRAKE ISSUES!! I ALSO ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG FOR MY 2007 VEHICLE BUT THEY INFORMED ME IT WASN'T FOR MY VIN # BUT IT IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS THE RECALL!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THESE HAZARDS!! GMC/CADILLAC NEEDS TO STEP UP & CORRECT THESE ISSUES BEFORE IT IS TO LATE!! HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED, DIE, OR COMPLAIN BEFORE THESE ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED!!! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LUXURY CAR BUT IT IS MORE LIKE A JUNK CAR DEATH TRAP!!!!
