CADILLAC Complaints

ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN STOP SIGN, I HAD TO STEP HARD ON BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SHORTLY AFTER I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL GETTING CLOSER TO "BOTTOMING OUT" EACH TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES. UPON ARRIVING HOME I FOUND, ON THE LEFT SIDE UNDERCARRIAGE BELOW THE BACK SEAT, FLUID DRIPPING AND APPROXIMATELY 24" OF THE FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE SATURATED WITH BRAKE FLUID. WHEN I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE I TRACED THE BRAKE LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER BACK AND FOUND THE LINES TO BE RUSTED. THE LINE THAT IS LEAKING MUST HAVE RUSTED THRU. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO DESIGN I CANNOT SEE THE BREAK IN THE LINE NOR, IT APPEARS, CAN I REPAIR IT MYSELF DUE TO ACCESSIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON TODAY. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE BEGUN TO FISHTAIL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES CAR DEVELOPED A ROAR IN FRONT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IF THIS WERE TO GO ON AND NOT BE REPLACED AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT FROM WHEEL BEARING OVER HEATING OR BREAKING OFF AND CAUSING ACCIDENT.

STARTING TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THEY ARE STIFF AND BARELY WORKING AND REALLY HARD TO STOP CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CADILLAC DEVILLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR B NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000. . .. .UPDATED 07/21/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO PAY FOR A PORTION ON THE REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPDATED 11/9/2015*JS

4/14 - CAR WAS SHUTTING OFF INTERMITTENTLY, PULLED OVER IN HOTEL PARKING LOT AND A GENTLEMEN CAME UP TO CAR TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS SMOKING, GOT OUT AND THERE WAS A FIRE AT THE REAR OF THE CAR. RAN INTO HOTEL AND GOT FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT IT OUT, HAD TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. THERE DETERMINED THAT THE TERMINAL ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP OVER HEATED AND MELTED A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE PUMP, CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT AND CATCH FIRE -$6000 WORTH OF DAMAGE, ONLY USED PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX CAR. 8/14 RECALL WAS RELEASED ABOUT FUEL MODULE AND HARNESS. 6/15 - CALLED DEALER ABOUT UNRELATED ISSUE (DOOR LOCK), VIN# WAS RAN AND WAS TOLD PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX RECALL. I MENTIONED I DID NOT RECEIVE THE LETTER THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND WAS TOLD DEALER HAD TO ORDER THEM, 4 DAYS LATER PARTS CAME IN AND WORK WAS SCHEDULED. CAR WAS THERE FOR 10 DAYS "HAVING TROUBLE GETTING PARTS". WHEN CAR WAS PICKED UP THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOW OFF ONLY READING 3/4 WHEN FULL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. TOLD HARNESS IS NOT AVAILABLE TO FINISH RECALL AND IT WILL TAKE CARE OF BOTH PROBLEMS. THIS SAFETY RECALL IS BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE TORN INTO CAR IF ALL PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. CAR IS DUE FOR INSPECTION 9/15 AND AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON AND NOW THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ AT ALL. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM CADILLAC AND THE DEALERSHIP. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT GET PARTS TO FIX RECALL, WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION, AND I CAN NOT SELL IT OR TRADE IT IN.

I SEEN ANOTHER PERSON SAID THAT SHE HAD PROBLEMS WITH HER HEATED AND COOLING SEATS I'M HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS WHY IS NOT A RECALL?
