CADILLAC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE KEY WAS INSERTED IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. AS A RESULT, THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AND THE ANTI-THEFT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V394000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY AND NOTICED THE FIRST CRACK A FEW MONTHS LATER AND THIS MORNING FEB 16 2017 I SEE THE 2ND CRACK. I AM AFRAID IF I HAVE A WRECK, THE PIECE IS GOING TO FLY OFF AND DAMAGE AIRBAG OR SLICE THE FACE OF THE DRIVER. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!!!! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKS FORMED.

STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT HEAT UP. DEALER SAYS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE

TIRES LOSING AIR DUE TO POOR CHROMING PROCESS, AKA PAINT ON RIMS, FAKE CHROME PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON INSIDE OF RIMS, (SINCE GM DOESN'T LIKE TO RUSTCOAT ANY OF THEIR PARTS TO SAVE A COUPLE $) CAUSING TIRES NOT TO SEAL TO RIM, AS WELL VALVE STEM HOLE IS NO LONGER ROUND DUE TO FLAKING PAINT AND AIR IS ESCAPING HERE AS WELL. THIS COULD LEAD TO TIRE BLOWOUTS AND PROBABLY HAS, AND WAS PROBABLY BLAMED ON THE TIRE OR ROAD HAZARDS THAT WEREN'T THERE.

I HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE RECALL AND GM STATES THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A REMEDY. WHY? WHEN WILL THE REMEDY BE AVAILABLE? WHY HAVE A RECALL IF YOU CAN'T REMEDY THE PROBLEM. SIMPLY REPLACE THE ITEM!!

THE LOW BEAMS ON OUR SRX ARE UNSAFE. WENT TO OUR DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THERE IS NO GM FIX AVAILABLE TO OUR CAR EXCEPT TO BUY BULBS FROM AFTER MARKET SOURCE AND THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND THAT SOLUTION. THE HEAD LIGHTS ON OUR CAR ARE UNSAFE. NOT ENOUGH LIGHT ON ROAD TO DRIVE SAFELY. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE FOR US OLDER DRIVERS. SEEMS GM WOULD PUT GOOD HEADLIGHTS HIGH ON THEIR ENGINEERING REQUIREMENT LIST. THEY DID NOT DO SO WITH THE SRX. THIS MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURTS OR KILLED.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE STRUT IS FROZEN, VERY HORRIBLE RIDE AND WHENEVER I RUN OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL OUT. DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTEE

REAR END OF THE CAR DROPPED TO THE GROUND WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. MECHANIC SAID THE REAR AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED, AND ONE OF THE AIRBAGS BURST. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED, IT WAS NOT DRIVE ABLE.
