CADILLAC Complaints

HEADLIGHT BALLAST FAILURE DUE TO POOR HEADLIGHT DESIGN WITH HOUSING ETC... CAUSES HEADLIGHTS TO SHUT OF WHILE DRIVING DUE TO MOISTURE. HAPPENED AT NIGHT. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CURIOUS AS TO WHY NO RECALLS?

THE RADIO HAS POWER BUT NO SOUND .TH DOOR AJAR CHIMES DONT WORK AND TURN SINGNALS DONT CLICK THIS IS A INTERNMENT PROBLEM THAT COULD LAST UP TO A FEW DAYS DOESNT MATTER WHERE IM DRIVEN THAN EVERY THING STARTS WORKIN TILL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN AUGUST, 2017. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW BEAMS BEING DIM. DOES GM PLAN TO REPLACE THESE BULBS? I CANNOT DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF ACCIDENT, HITTING A DEER OR SOMEONE NOT SEEING MY VEHICLE.

REAR TIE ROD FAILED, CAME APART CAUSING STEERING TO BE VERY HAZARDOUS VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO ONCOMING LANE. TIE ROD DIDN'T BREAK IT WAS RUSTED FROM INSIDE, THE THREADS WERE WORN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IT WAS ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND THE ROAD IS IN GOOD CONDITION, NO POT HOLES SOME PATCHES HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING TO WARRANT DISLODGING THE TIE ROD. AS STATED BEFORE TIE ROD DIDN'T BREAK SOMEHOW WATER GOT IN THE SLEEVE PART OF THE TIE ROD,CAUSING IT TO WEAR. I HAVE KEPT THE PARTS THAT THE DEALERSHIP FIXED JUST IN CASE THEY ARE IN NEED.

THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM.THIS IS AN ONGOING DAILY ISSUE. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REMEDIED BY CHANGING THE BULBS ALONE. THERE IS VERY NOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE USED WHICH DISTRACTS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED IN ALL DRIVING SETTINGS, CITY, HIGHWAY, COUNTRY ROADS. IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN DRIVING IN DIMLY LIT COUNTRY ROADS.
