CADILLAC Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CADILLAC SRX RECALL. WHEN DRIVING VECHILE, THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGE COME ON AND CAUSES THE VECHILE TO PULL TO EITHER SIDE. PRESS OK BUTTON AND IT STRAIGHTENED UP.

THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED KEEPS COMING ON IN DASH. CAUSING IT TO PULL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT TIME ON HIGHWAY.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2010 SRX DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATELY LIGHT TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ACCEPTABLE BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE IS EXTREMELY WEAK! BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH SIGNIFICANTLY UPGRADED BULBS WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT. MOISTURE/CONDENSATION OCCURS INSIDE THE LENS AND MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND ONLY CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. ONLINE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN NUMEROUS POST DESCRIBING THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE. OPERATING WITH HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHT BUT PRESENTS A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SEEMS THAT ISSUE IS RELATED TO GM/CADILLAC NOT PROPERLY SEALING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. COST TO REPLACE/ REPAIR IS SIGNIFICANT. SINCE HAVING PROPERLY LIGHTING WOULD SEEM LIKE A REASONABLE SAFETY CONCERN I ASK THAT YOU REVIEW THIS MATTER AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL REQUIRING THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AT LITTLE OR NO COST TO THE OWNER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND CONSIDERATION.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. DAVID TAYLOR CADILLAC (10422 SOUTHWEST FREEWAY, BLDG B, HOUSTON, TX) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE LANE DEPARTURE AND LANE KEEP ASSIST, BOTH SAFETY FEATURES, DO NOT WORK WITH ANY DEGREE OF CONSISTENCY. THEY ONLY WORK OCCASIONALLY. 2 DEALERS CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM BUT WITHOUT A FACTORY FIX THEY ARE UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CLARIFY RECALL AT DEALERSHIP WITH NO CONCLUSION. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO RECALL AND REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT THE VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA DEFECT. IN A LETTER RE: TK HOLDINGS INC IT SPECIFICALLY READS IN BOLD SCRIPT, "IF YOUR VEHICLE CONTAINS A DEFECTIVE OR POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR AND IS UNDER RECALL, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR." DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I READ THAT GM HAD UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO REMEDY SITUATION BUT HAVE NOT HEARD RESULTS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

CADILLAC CUE TOUCHSCREEN IS INOPERABLE. VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ACCORDING TO WEB SEARCHES, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CUE. THE TOUCHSCREEN IS NON-RESPONSIVE TO TOUCH INTERFACE FOR VARIOUS AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS WHICH COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. SUCH AS DEFOGGING OR DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD. SYSTEMS SUCH AS NAVIGATION, INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROL, MEDIA CONTROLS, BLUETOOTH CONTROLS, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY $2500 (CADILLAC QUOTE) TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ITEM FOR THE YEAR MODEL.

IN 2016 THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM. THE BEAMS BECAME SO BAD IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE HEADLAMP HOUSING BUBBLED CAUSING IT TO OBSTRUCT THE BEAM. IN OUR CASE IT WAS LIKE AN UPPER EYELID CLOSING OVER THE EYE. THE HEADLAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACED.
