CADILLAC Complaints

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO HER PARENTS HOUSE GOING UP A INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE COULDN'T PULL THE HILL SLOWED DOWN TO APPROX. 20MPH BUMPED AND SHOOK AS IT WENT UP THE HILL. WHEN SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AT HER PARENTS HOUSE YOU COULD SMELL SOMETHING LIKE BURNT TRANSMISSION OR SOMETHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS AND THE 1ST INSTANCE CADILLAC DEALER SAID THE COMPUTER TO THE TRANSMISSION DUMPED ITS PROGRAM AND THEY WENT IN AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK IN AFTER CHRISTMAS. HYDROPLANING IS ALSO A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THIS CAR ALSO DOESN'T LIKE TO STAY IN A LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I FEEL THIS CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL BE LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY TO DEEM IT AS A LEMON. *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2013 CADILLAC XTS A YEAR AGO AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE VOGUE TIRES AND RIMS THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. THE TIRES ARE VOGUE M&S 245/40R20 99VXL AND WE BELIEVE THEY ARE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE FRONT TIRES HAD A MAJOR VIBRATION ISSUE SO I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER STATED THAT I HAD A BAD TIRE AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BUY ANOTHER ONE WHICH I PAID $100.00 FOR. THE RIMS STARTED TO PEEL AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RIMS ARE NOT UNDER A WARRANTY. AFTER THAT, A FEW DAYS AGO THE CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE AGAIN IN THE FRONT SO I TOOK THE CARE IN FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER HAD A TECHNICIAN AND I TO PERFORM A ROAD TEST AND THE CAR COMMENCE TO VIBRATE IN THE FRONT AT A HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65MPH AS VERIFIED BY THE TECH. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE DEALER STATED THAT DUE TO THE LOW PROFILE OF THE TIE THIS ISSUE WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THE TECH SHOWED ME THAT NOW I HAVE A BENT RIM IN THE FRONT AND AGAIN HE STATED THAT DUE TO THIS TYPE OF RIM AND TIRE THIS ISSUE WILL CONTINUE. THEY (THE DEALER) PERFORMED A ROAD FORCE BALANCE OF THE BENT RIM AND PLACED THE RIM ON THE DRIVER REAR. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE ALIGNMENT WHICH I PAID FOR) AND FOUND OUT THAT DUE TO THE BENT RIM THE TOE WAS OUT AND HAD TO BE CORRECTED. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER STATING THAT DUE TO THE TYPE OF LOW PROFILE TIRES AND RIMS WHICH CAME WITH THE CAR THAT THIS ISSUE WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN UNTIL ALL THE RIMS ARE BENT AND THAT I WOULD HALF TO BUY NEW RIMS. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR BUT ARE NOW WORRIED THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT IF THE TIRES AND RIMS ARE NOT GOOD FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT'S NOT THE CAR IT'S THE TYPE OF TIE AND RIMS. THE CAR HAS ONLY 14,963 MILES ON IT, SOMEONE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND FAST. *TR

2006 CADILLAC STS. AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED ON MAY 7, 2007, SHE HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. NINE MONTHS LATER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS. THEY NOTED A WIRING AND/OR CONNECTION REPLACEMENT. BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2008 AND OCTOBER 2012, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AT TIMES AND THEN GO OFF, AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO CORRECT ITSELF. PRIOR TO MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE THIRD TIME, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. JULY 2013, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WENT OFF AGAIN. AS OF JUNE 2014, THE LIGHT HAS ONCE AGAIN ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ON. *JB

THE CAR WILL NOT STOP WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPACES, COMING UP TO STOP LIGHTS OR GOING DOWN HILLS. WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING, I THOUGHT I JUST NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I WENT TO THE MECHANIC AND REPLACED MY BRAKES AND GOT NEW TIRES, BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUED. IN ORDER TO STOP, I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHILE IT IS ROLLING. I PUMP THE BRAKES, BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP. I HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED VEHICLES WHILE COMING TO STOP LIGHTS. I HAVE ALMOST RAN INTO LIGHT POLES WHILE PARKING MY CAR. I HAVE ROLLED OUT INTO THE STREET ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP. ALL OF THESE EXAMPLES HAPPEN SPORADICALLY BUT OFTEN. MY TRACTION LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COME ON AND I RECEIVE A WARNING ON MY DASH STATING "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST". I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY SO FAR THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT I AM EXTREMELY FEARFUL THAT EVENTUALLY THIS WILL HAPPEN. *TR
