STEERING
SINCE THIS FIRST INDECENT I FIND EVER TIME IT RAINS IF I GO THRU A PUDDLE OF WATER AND TURN LEFT OR RIGHT THAT THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE YOU CAN RECOVER. TODAY WE HAVE HEAVY RAIN AND AT ONE TURN IT NEARLY RESULTED WITH ME HITTING A SEMI TRUCK THAT WAS IN A MERGE LANE AND AS I MADE MY TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY STEERING AGAIN OUT, I COULD NOT COMPLETE THE TURN WHICH POINTED ME AT THE FAR LANE AND THE ONCOMING MAMMOTH TRUCK AS I JERKED THE WHEEL THE STEERING REGAINED AND I JOLTED BACK INTO MY LANE. WHEN WILL CADILLAC BE REQUESTED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM OR ARE THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE FACE THE FEAR OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEFORE WE RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. CASE AFTER CASE THE DEALERS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS AS STATED IN COMPLAINTS. *TR

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PLUG THAT CONNECTS TO THE HEAT/COOL MODULE HAS NOW MELTED ON THE YELLOW/RED WIRE WHICH IS ABOUT A 10GA WIRE. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND ONLINE ARTICLES ABOUT GM HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WHICH CAN RESULT IN A FIRE SINCE THE WIRE GETS HOT IT CAN POSSIBLY IGNITE THE PADDING UNDERNEATH THE SEAT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIX THIS MYSELF IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 47K MILES ON MY CADILLAC AND THE HEAT AND COOL SEATS NO LONGER WORK UNLESS I MAKE THE REPAIRS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
YOU ALREADY SHOW RECALL INFORMATION ON 2007 CADILLAC DTS FOR IGNITION KEY SAFETY PROBLEM BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN THAT GM TELLS ME IN THEIR RECALL LETTERS THAT THE PARTS TO FIX THIS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ON CALLING THEM AND POSING THE QUESTION WHETHER GM IS BACK-LOGGED HAVING TO MAKE SO MANY PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE OR IF IT IS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A 'FIX' YET, GM SAID THEIR ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON IT AND HAVE NOT DETERMINED A FIX YET, THEREFORE NOT KNOWN WHAT PARTS THEY WILL NEED. IT PUTS OWNERS IN A POSITION WHERE THEY MUST PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE. SINCE BOTH MY 2007 DTS AND MY 2001 DEVILLE ARE ON LATEST RECALL LIST I DON'T HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL GM REPAIRS THESE OR ELSE I MUST PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE (NOT GM) TO HAVE SOMETHING SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE DETACHED EACH CAR'S IGNITION KEY FROM KEY RINGS SO THAT NOT EVEN THE FOB IS ATTACHED. HOWEVER, APPEARS THAT THIS MERELY SERVES TO DIMINISH THE POTENTIAL THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THE KEY MIGHT NOT BE AS LIKELY TO SLIP FROM 'RUN' POSITION TO TURNING THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND POSSIBILITY AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. GM HAS INSTRUCTED ITS DEALERSHIPS THAT THEY MAY NOT SELL ANY VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED, SO THE CARS ARE, IN ESSENCE, WORTHLESS UNTIL THAT HAPPENS AND CAN NOT EVEN BE USED FOR TRADE-IN PURPOSES. I SUSPECT THEIR COMPETITOR AUTO MANUFACTURERS ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND WOULD NOT RELISH ANY GM TRADE-INS THAT, DUE TO LIABILITY POTENTIAL, THEY COULD NOT SELL ON TO ANYONE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THIS CAR IS A 2007 AND WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2007 AND GOT A RECALL ON WINDSHIELD WASHER MODULE, WE TAKE IT AND THEY REPLACE A WIRE. NEXT WE GET A RECALL WANTING TO DISABLE AND REMOVE HEATED WINDSHIELD WASHER MODULE. THE RECALL READS LIKE THIS, RECALL INFORMATION RECALL IMPORTANT, OUR PRIORITY IS YOUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION. IT IS NOT OUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION TO TAKE THIS CAR IN AND DISMANTLE IT, AND SO FOR WE HAVEN'T DONE SO AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF DOING SO. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY GENERAL MOTORS AND IT HASN'T BEEN. NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS. *TR
