I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY OF2012. BOTH HEADLAMPS ARE FILLED WITH MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION CAUSING POOLING ON THE FLOOR BOTTOM OF BOTH LAMPS. AT NIGHT, THE LUMINATION IS POOR. I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY 1-1/2 YEAR AGO. IT IS BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND LIFT GATE WERE INOPERABLE POSSIBLY DUE TO THE WATER LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE SUNROOF. *JS

CUE MALFUNCTIONING: I PURCHASED MY CAR TWO MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE PAST MONTH AFTER THE CUE QUIT RESPONDING. THE CADILLAC DEALER CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP BECAUSE CADILLAC DOES NOT MAKE THE CUE ANY MORE. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEM THAT I WAS TOLD TO "GET IN LINE BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE THAN 700 CUSTOMERS AHEAD OF YOU WITH THE SAME PROBLEM". REALLY? AND THAT'S JUST ONE SHOP! WE HAVE CALLED AROUND, NO ONE HAS THE OEM PARTS. THE ONLY OPTION IS A REFURBISHED UNIT. WE HAVE TRIED THAT, THE UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE. SO HERE I AM, STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CANNOT FULLY USE BECAUSE ALL OF THE SETTINGS ARE IN THE CUE. TO FIX THE ISSUE WILL COST $1,500 BUT THAT'S ONLY IF I CAN GET AROUND TO FIXING IT OR WHENEVER 700+ OTHER CUSTOMERS' CUES ARE FIXED... HOWEVER LONG THAT WILL TAKE!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FRONT BLINKER AND RUNNING LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY BURNING OUT. I'VE REPLACED THEM 3 TIMES IN 3 YEARS AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DO. THE BULBS ARE ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE BLINKER BULBS TO PURCHASE ( ACCORDING TO MY PARTS STORE) AND IT TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET TO THE BULB. WHAT A MESS!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE
ALL OF A SUDDEN I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS THINGS GOING WRONG. FIRST I STARTED SMELLING THIS STRANGE AWFUL ODOR, NOT KNOWING THAT ITS SOME TYPE OF WATER LEAK SOAKING MY CARPET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, UNDERNEATH THE MAT. I HAD MY CAR DETAILED ON NUMEROUS OCCASION BEFORE NOTICING THIS WATER PUDDLES ON THURSDAY MORNING. ON TOP THAT, I GET OFF WORK ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON ALL I SEE IS WATER POURING FROM THE ROOF RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONTO MY SEAT. I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED...I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS,AND OF COURSE, IT ISN'T FOR MY CAR. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM ON THIS WEDNESDAY. I MUST GO BACK TO WHEN I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THE SMELL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD LOCATE THE SMELL AND THEY TOLD ME IN FACT AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE IT COULD COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I FELT BETRAYED, AFTER BEING OVERWHELMED WITH THIS ISSUE AFTER JUST PAYING $2,200 FOR THE TIMING CHANGE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD AND I AM STILL PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT'S THANKS IN ADVANCE [XXX] PS.STATIONARY AND IN MOTION...

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN IT RAINS THE CLOSED SUNROOF DRAINS INTO BOTH FLOOR BOARDS OF THE CAR, AND INTO THE BACK HATCH FLOORBOARD WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY. SOAKING MY FEET WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THE LIFTGATE TO GO OUT AND IT WILL NOT OPEN EVEN MANUALLY. IT SATURATES THE FLOOR AND IS CAUSING MOLD TO GROW UNDERNEATH THE CARPET WHICH I WOULD THINK IS A HEALTH RISK ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS LIKE ME WHO HAVE A CHILD WITH ASTHMA. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR I WASH MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TONIGHT SEPT. 25TH, 2016 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. MY DASHBOARD WENT COMPLETELY BLACK FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A TEMPORARY GLITCH. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70-75 MILES/HR. I'M NOT SURE IF THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AS WELL BECAUSE I'M TOO FOCUSED ON REMAINING CALM AND KEEPING MY EYES ON THE ROAD PREVENTING AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY WHILE THIS OCCURRED. THIS FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE FREEWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED I WAS EXITING AND TAKING A CURVE ON THE LOOP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'LL TAKE FOR A RECALL TO HAPPEN BUT I HOPE IT WON'T TAKE A DEADLY CRASH TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I'VE READ ON OTHER SITES THIS PROBLEM IS A KNOWN FACT WITH THE COMPANY AND YET NO ACTION HAS TAKEN PLACE TO REMEDY THIS. SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!
