SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GM RECALL 14299 SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF IGNITION SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE KEY MOVES OUT OF THE 'RUN' POSITION DISABLING THE BRAKES AND STEERING,. THE FIX WAS PUTTING A PIECE OF PLASTIC IN MY KEY. THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I EXPECT THE IGNITION SWITCH TO BE REPLACED. I DID NOT PAY $50,000 FOR A CHEAP 'FIX'. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND FRONT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT SOCKETS IN BOTH HEADLAMPS HAVE BURNT CONTACTS. I TOOK MY 2008 CADILLAC DTS TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BULBS REPLACED AS MY TURN SIGNALS WEREN'T WORKING. THEY REPLACED THE BULBS. TWO DAYS LATER THEY QUIT WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN AND INFORMED ME THAT THE LAMP SOCKETS WERE BURNT AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A REPLACEMENT SOCKET AVAILABLE. THE COST WAS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $1000 EACH WITH LABOR. I BELIEVE THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CADILLAC SHOULD EITHER PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT SOCKET OR COVER A PART OF THE PART AND LABOR. RIGHT NOW I HAVE THE SOCKETS TEMPORARILY REPAIRED WITH PAPER CLIPS AND ALUMINUM FOIL BECAUSE ON SOCIAL SECURITY I CAN'T AFFORD THEIR COST TO FIX BUT I WON'T DRIVE ON THE ROAD WITH NO FRONT TURN SIGNALS AND ENDANGER OTHER FOLKS ON THE ROAD. *TR
