CADILLAC Complaints

STATIONARY CAR OF ONLY 4.5 MONTHS AGE, WAS HIT IN REAR ON 15 MAY 14, AND WAS KNOCKED 15 FT INTO ANOTHER CAR. THE DAMAGE APPEARED MINOR THOUGH THE OTHER CAR WAS TOTALED OUT. ON 9 JULY14, THE BATTERY FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IMPACTS CAN DAMAGE THE BRITTLE LEAD CORES OF BATTERIES. WARRANTY REPLACED THE DEAD BATTERY BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE OTHER DRIVER'S AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY. LUCKILY, THE BATTERY DID NOT CATCH FIRE BUT; HOWEVER, WHEN NUMEROUS BATTERIES ARE INTER LINKED, FIRE IS A VERY REAL RISK AND IT CAN OCCUR WEEKS LATER WHILE IN THE GARAGE AT HOME. *TR

OUR CAR WAS PARKED AND EXPOSED TO THE HOT SOUTH FLORIDA SUN FOR OVER 6 HOURS. WHEN MY PARTNER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME, THE CAR FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 30 MPH EVEN THOUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS CONSIDERABLY DEPRESSED. HE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE WHEN SMOKE EMANATED FROM THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE. HE CALLED FOR SERVICE AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS EXPOSED TO HOT TEMPS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. REPORTED TO DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND HAS HAPPENED, WITHOUT REPORTING, AN ADDITIONAL 4 OR 5 TIMES. NO RESOLUTION AS OF THIS DATE. DEALER INSPECTION HAS SHOWN EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE BRAKES. WE TRY AT ALL TIMES TO KEEP OUR CAR IN THE GARAGE OR UNDER COVERED PARKING TO AVOID FURTHER INSTANCES. *TR

I HAVE A LENGTHY COMPLAINT THAT I WILL SEND TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AS AN ATTACHMENT ? THANKYOU ! *TR
