ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE RIGHT EXTERIOR LOW BEAM LIGHT WAS OUT AND THE HOUSING UNIT WAS FULL OF EXCESSIVE MOISTURE. ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2014; BULB REPLACED; LIGHT OUT AGAIN BY THE END OF THE MONTH FOR A WEEK THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BACK ON AGAIN; THEN OUT AGAIN AND ON AGAIN; ESTIMATED COST OF PARTS WERE $1,459 PLUS TAX AND S.S. NOW ONLY THE RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE ARE WORKING. NOW TRY 1,459 PLUS TAX AND S.S.. TIMES 2. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. WHY SO MUCH MOISTURE AN ELECTRICAL LIGHTENING UNIT? THE LEFT SIDE DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF MOISTURE AND THE LIGHT IS NO LONGER WORKING. NOTHING MORE UPSETTING THAN BEING AWAY FROM HOME, ITS DARK AND YOUR VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON. *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE PASSENGER HEADLAMP HAS ACCUMULATED SOME CONDENSATION. AS I WAS READING ONLINE THIS IS A KNOWN FLAW OF DESIGN FOR THIS MODEL (EVEN 2013 MODELS) THAT GM IS AWARE OF. AS THE HOLIDAY APPROACHED WE TRAVELED OUT OF TOWN. AS WERE WERE LEAVING I WAS TOLD BY A FAMILY MEMBER THAT MIGHT PASSENGER HEADLAMP WAS INOPERABLE. SO MY GUESS WAS THAT IT WAS EITHER A SAFETY MECHANISM THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT THE LIGHT OUT TO PREVENT A SHORT OR WORST A FIRE. WELL IT WAS COMPLETE OPPOSITE. THIS MORNING MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP HAS CONCLUDED THE THE KNOWN FLAW IN THE HEADLAMP ACTUALLY SHORTED OUT MY BULD. NOW I HAVE RECEIVED A QUOTE FOR OVER $1000++ TO REPLACE A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN. HOW IS THIS GOOD BUSINESS? IF IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT? THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, BASED ON NUMEROUS CADILLAC COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS NOTES FOUND ON THIS VERY NHTSA WEBSITE. IN IT'S CURRENT STATE, THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE IN LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS OR AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND WITHOUT REPAIR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT EVEN PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. THIS IS A RECALL WORTHY FAULT WHICH COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE IF FAULT OCCURS IN LOW VISIBILITY OR NIGHT DRIVING, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE AS IT WILL NOT PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. PLEASE FORCE GM TO ISSUE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *JS

AIR BAGS, SEATS, SUSPENSION
I JUST BROUGHT THIS SUV SEPT. 2014. LAST WEEK I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE. THE REAR END SWERVED AND THE TIRES ROLLED OVER THE CURVE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE CAR STOPPED, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A CADILLAC DEALER.( WEEKS BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS, SEAT, SUSPENSION AND SEAT BELT.) SO, WHEN I TOLD THE ADJUSTOR ABOUT THE RECALL HE JUST BRUSHED IT OFF AND SAID," IT'S NOT THE RECALL.". I DON'T THINK THE ADJUSTOR WORKED FOR AN OUTSIDE COMPANY. I NEED TO GET MY CAR INDEPENDENTLY CHECKED SO I CAN FIND OUT IF IT WAS THE RECALL ITEMS. HOW COULD MY AIR BAGS DEPLOY FROM GOING OVER THE CURVE? THE CAR HAS NO DAMAGE... NONE! I THINK THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THE RECALLED ITEMS OR THEY FIXED THEM WRONG. BECAUSE MY DRIVER SEAT WAS MAKING SOME CRAZY SOUNDS THE WEEKS BEFORE THE AIRS BAGS CAME OUT. PLUS, I TOLD THE DEALER AND HE SAID ALL THE WORK WAS DONE TO THE CAR. I THINK THEIR LYING.... IS THERE A GOVERNMENT PLACE I CAN HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OR CAN YOU SEND SOMEONE? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER HEADLIGHT (SEALED BEAM) FAILED TO TURN ON 2 DAYS AGO. I ASSUMED IT WAS A BULB, BUT THE DEALER IDENTIFIED IT AS A SHORT DUE TO WATER AND CONDENSATION ACCUMULATION INSIDE THE HOUSING. THE LIGHT DID COME BACK ON FOR A SHORT TIME WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS OFF AGAIN UPON ARRIVAL. DEALER STATED THE OTHER LIGHT WOULD BE AFFECTED SOON AS WELL, BASED ON WATER INSIDE IT TOO. I HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN (GM MAJOR GUARD), BUT THE SEALED BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS PLAN. DEALER QUOTED COST OF $1,800 PER LIGHT, TOTAL OF $3,600 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, BASED ON NUMEROUS CADILLAC COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS NOTES FOUND ON NHTSA. IN IT'S CURRENT STATE, THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE IN LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS OR AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, AND WITHOUT REPAIR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT EVEN PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. THIS IS A RECALL WORTHY FAULT WHICH COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE IF FAULT OCCURS IN LOW VISIBILITY OR NIGHT DRIVING, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE AS IT WILL NOT PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. PLEASE FORCE GM TO ISSUE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY ALMOST $4,000 ON MY $56K VEHICLE TO GET IT DRIVABLE AGAIN, WHEN IT'S UNDER THE PREMIERE WARRANTY PLAN. THIS POLICY IS UNSATISFACTORY AT BEST. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR (DRIVE INTO PARK) WHEN I GO TO PARK THE CAR. WHEN I DO SHIFT INTO PARK THE DASH READS "SHIFT INTO PARK" AS IF IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN PARK AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I SIT THERE AND "JIGGLE" THE SHIFT KNOB FOR SEVERAL MINUTES UNTIL IT TURNS THE DASH ERROR MESSAGE OFF AND THEN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF AND I CAN FINALLY EXIT THE CAR. THIS CORRESPONDS WITH A NHTSA RECALL # 11V595. AND THE CAD DEALER AND GM ARE NOT COOPERATING WITH ME TO COVER THE FIX CHARGE. I AM FEARFUL OF ROLLING OR NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF, OR WORSE. *TR

IF IT DOES RISE IT MAY GO UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE BACKING UP THUS RENDERING THIS SAFETY FEATURE (THE BACKUP CAMERA) TOTALLY USELESS IF NOT DANGEROUS. *TR
