CADILLAC Complaints

I NOTICED THE DIM LIGHTING ON LOW NEAM AND TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I HAD HIM REPLACE THE BULBS. THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE BULBS AND ONLY HELPED MINIMALLY. I THE WENT TO CADIILAC DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE LIGHTING HARNESSES. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY CASES AND THE DEALER HAS MANY OF THE CASES DOCUMENTED. IN FACT, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT SERVICE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CASE #

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON CONTINUOUSLY AT NIGHT. WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC SIGNALS ME BY BLINDING ME, I SWITCH TO DIMS AND HAVE TO GUESS AT WHERE THE ROAD IS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN WHILE STILL UNDER BASIC WARRANTY. PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. I EVEN PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NO HELP THERE EITHER. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT. NO WAY I CAN LET MY KIDS USE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.

TAKATA RECALL GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT PROVIDED THE REPLACEMENT PART TO THE DEALERSHIPS. I CANNOT GET MY CAR REPAIRED, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAY THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IF THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT I'D RATHER HAVE THE AIRBAG REMOVED THAN TO RUN THE RISK OF EXPLOSION. I LIVE IN A HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE. THERE MUST BE AN URGENT REPAIR INITIATIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE 2016. THE CADILLAC DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG(S). I CONTACTED GM ONLINE, THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS FROM TAKATA BUT GM DOESN'T DEEM IT NECESSARY TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT ON MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. IS THE NHTSA AIRBAG RECALL AN OPTIONAL RECALL TO BE PERFORMED OR REFUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER?? WHEN WILL YOU ALL GET SERIOUS AND MAKE GM/CADILLAC COMPLY WITH THE RECALL AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS????

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE NEWER ESCALADES SEEM MUCH TOO BRIGHT. IT REALLY HURTS THE EYES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

HEADLIGHTS DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE LIGHT BULBS DRIVER CAN NOT SEE THE STREET (ROAD) AT NIGHT TIME.

MY 2015 CADILLAC ESCALADE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 50+ DAYS SINCE PURCHASING IN 2015 FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, TRIM, TECHNOLOGY, CHASSIS, ELECTRICAL, AND HVAC. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY DON'T WANT TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY IN THE SHOP FOR PROBLEMS AND IT IS NOT A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE OPERATED ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS. NUMEROUS PARTS OF MY TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN REPLACED/REPROGRAMMED/REBUILT BEFORE DUE TO DEFECTS IN DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY. THE TRANSMISSION CONSISTENTLY VIBRATES, JERKS AND SHUTTERS WHEN DRIVING, POPS AND CREAKS WHEN STOPPED AND CLUNKS WHEN LAUNCHING FROM STOP OR ROLLING STOP. THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO TAKE OFF IN 4TH GEAR RATHER THAN IN 1ST GEAR WHICH MEANS THE CAR FEELS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER TO PROPEL THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND FEELS AS IF IT IS BROKEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 14 TIMES AND GM NOW DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER HAS VERIFIED THE CONCERN AND DOCUMENTED IT. I FEEL THAT GM IS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO ENSURE SAFE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD. THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ONE DAY. I HAVE ALREADY PUT GM ON NOTICE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FEEL THAT NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE ISSUES THAT PLAGUE 2015 FULL SIZE GM SUV OWNERS. THERE ARE A LOT OF US OUT THERE ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH.
