WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION IT DID NOT GO IN. IT APPEARS DUE TO A GM RECALL #14299 THIS CONTRIBUTED TO, WHAT SEAMS, THE TUMBLERS FALLING & THE KEY WILL NOT INSERT. THE VEHICLE IS NOW DISABLED. I BELIEVE THIS IS GM'S FAUL & SHOULD BE UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. *TR

THERE IS A 41 INCH BRAKE LIGHT INSTALLED ON THE TRUNK LID WHICH COSTS $223.75 TO REPLACE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NO BIG DEAL, BUT, AS I WAS REPLACING IT, I NOTICED IT WAS NEVER PROPERLY FITTED TO THE TRUNK AT THE FACTORY, WHICH CAUSED THE ORIGINAL DAMAGE, BROKEN COMPLETELY THROUGH IN THE MIDDLE, AND SEVERAL CRACKS, NOT WORKING. TO BOLT ON A NEW ONE IMPROPERLY FITTED WILL CAUSE THE SAME DAMAGE BECAUSE THE HARD PLASTIC IS UNDER HEAVY STRESS WHEN TIGHTENED DOWN. TO PROPERLY FIX THE SITUATION WILL COST THOUSANDS, MY WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE DISABILITIES AND WE CANNOT POSSIBLY AFFORD THE FIX AS THE CAR ALREADY NEEDS OVER $3000 IN SUSPENSION PARTS AS WELL, PLUS LABOR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A TICKETABLE OFFENSE. WE EXPECT GM TO FULLY PAY FOR A PROPER FIX AS THEY HAD TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN UP THE ROAD. I'M SURE THEY'VE ALSO NOTICED A LARGE NUMBER OF THE LIGHTS BEING ORDERED. DOESN'T PRESIDENT OBAMA RIDE IN A STRETCHED DTS? HE MIGHT WANT TO HAVE HIS FIXED TOO. BY THE WAY, WE JUST PURCHASED A NEW MALIBU 6 DAYS AGO, WHICH IF THIS ISN'T HANDLED RAPIDLY WILL GO RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND BOTH PERSONAL AND CLASS ACTION SUITS FILED. *TR

THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS ARE CONSTANTLY BURNING OUT, AND ARE NOT EASY AND VERY COSTLY TO GET TO FOR REPLACEMENT. FOUR BULBS IN SIX MONTHS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

MY 2013 CADILLAC CTS WAS RECALLED FOR UNINTENDED ROTATION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. ALL THAT THE RECALL REQUIRED WAS TO ADD A SECOND SMALL RING TO THE KEY AND GIVE ME A PAPER TELLING ME NOT TO ATTACH ANY THING TO THE KEY INCLUDING THE KEY FOB. HOWEVER, THE DEALER ATTACHED THE KEY FOB TO THE KEY. THEY JUST PLACE THE PAPER ON MY DASH SO I DIDN'T READ IT TILL I WAS AT HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID I SHOULD REMOVE THE FOB. IS IT ACCEPTABLE THE LEAVE A DEFECTIVE PART IN A CAR AND JUST TELL YOU NOT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THE KEY RING TO TRY TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING? *TR
