CADILLAC Complaints

MY 2005 CADILLAC STS BRAKES LOCKED UP AND CAUSED MY CAR TO CRASH. AFTER RESEARCH I AM SHOWING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, WHEN CHANGING GEARS YOU CAN HEAR THE GEARS CHANGING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I RESEARCHED THIS AS WELL AND APPARENTLY THERE IS A DEFECT AND RECALL ON THE AXLE. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE THAT I JUST PURCHASED FOR ALITTLE OVER 7 MONTHS. THERE IS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AS I AM DRIVING, THE HOOD AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF MY HOOD BEING AJAR. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS AS THOUGHT IT IS GOING OUT AS WELL. BEFORE I CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY I WANTED TO FIRST GIVE GMC AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUES. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, MY REVERSE LIGHTS HAS NEVER WORKED. THE UNKNOWN OTHER WOULD BE THE AXLE AND TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOME AND AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN THE BRAKES FAILED, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. RETURNED HOME AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT FRAME AREA UNDER THE MASTER CYLINDER. PULLED WHEEL OFF AND THE STEEL BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED. ALL BRAKE LINES SEVERELY RUSTED. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE FOUR OTHER CARS AND NONE HAVE BRAKE LINES RUSTED LIKE THESE. SUSPECT MATERIAL USED TO MAKE BRAKE LINES NOT TO SPECIFICATION RESULTING IN SEVER CORROSION.. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND A CAR CUT ME OFF AND I HAD TO STOP SHORT. MY TRUCK'S BRAKES DIDN'T RESPOND BUT AFTER PUMPING THEM I WAS ABLE TO JUST STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR THAT CUT ME OFF AND STOPPED. NOTICED BRAKES DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AFTERWARDS BUT DROVE CAREFULLY. PARKED AND WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE TRUCK A FEW HOURS LATER ALL THE BRAKE FLUID WAS ON THE GROUND AS MY BRAKE LINE RUPTURED AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE TRUCK I HAD NO BRAKE PRESSURE. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE LOCAL CADILLAC SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED/RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED BY CADILLAC SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND JUST SPENT OVER $3,000 IN MAY OF 2013 TO HAVE THE TRUCK SERVICED INCLUDING HAVING THE BRAKES REPLACED INCLUDING THE ROTORS. NO MENTION THAT MY BRAKE LINES WERE COMPROMISED AND COULD FAIL. AS I READ IN THE NY TIMES YESTERDAY THAT OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE I WANTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE AND I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED. *TR

ON THE INDICATED DATE MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING FROM DALLAS, TX TO ANN ARBOR, MI. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND WE WERE ON I-44 APPROX. 20 MILES SOUTH OF ROLLA, MO. AT HIGHWAY SPEED WE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND REPEATED LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND RELATED POWER SYSTEMS. THIS WAS EVIDENCED BY DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY CLICKING ON AND OFF, NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE, AIR CONDITIONING FAILURE, STABILITRACK FAILURE AND LACK OF POWER STEERING. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO ONSTAR AND THE USE OF OUR CELL PHONES WE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE A DEALER IN ROLLA. WE ??LIMPED?? INTO THE DEALER AFTER EXPERIENCING SEVERAL MORE ADVERSE FAILURE INCIDENTS. THE DEALER CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE THROUGH RUNNING HIS DIAGNOSTICS. HE CONCLUDED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE OUR TRIP. UNFORTUNATELY THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE RECURRED ON JUNE 21, 2014 WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN THE DALLAS, TX AREA AND AGAIN, TWICE, DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH IN FRISCO, TX ON JUNE 23, 2014. THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICED THE VEHICLE ON THOSE DATES AND REPLACED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. DURING THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE SEEKING ASSURANCES THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT THE LATEST ??FIX?? WAS GOING TO PERMANENTLY CORRECT THIS SAFETY AND RELIABILITY PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN SATISFIED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY FIXED. I AM CONCERNED THAT WE WILL HAVE A RE-OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. *TR
