POWER TRAIN
WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT I PLACED CAR IN REVERSE AND IT BACKED UP AS IT SHOULD. WHEN I PLACED GEAR IN FORWARD AND STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR THE CAR STILL WENT REARWARD ALMOST STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. AT THAT POINT VEHICLE ONLY HAD REVERSE AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED FOR SHIFT CABLE REPLACEMENT. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON 6/27/13 AT 42874 MILES ONLY THIS TIME CABLE SNAPPED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GO IN REVERSE AND INSTEAD WENT FORWARD ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. IN TALKING WITH OTHER OWNERS OF XLRS,THREE OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF SAME PROBLEM. DEALER EMPLOYEE ADMITTED TO ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO MINE. OBVIOUSLY, WHEN PLACING GEAR SELECTOR IN A PARTICULAR MODE THAT IS THE DIRECTION YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO GO. AS A MEMBER OF AN XLR CAR CLUB I WILL ADVISE OTHER OWNERS TO BE AWARE BUT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS YOUR NATIONAL ATTENTION TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE INJURIES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE ON THE DATE SHOWN ABOVE AT THE "INCIDENT DATE". I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ACTUAL PROBLEM BEGAN ON THIS CAR, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY YEARS EARLIER. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT THE LENSES OF BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT DRIVING/PARKING/DIRECTIONAL LAMPS HAVE APPARENTLY BEEN HEAT AFFECTED...THE PLASTIC LENSES HAVE BEGUN TO MELT. THE LAMPS ARE PART OF THE HEADLIGHT CLUSTER. THE OUTER OVERALL LENS OF THE CLUSTERS ARE FINE...IT'S JUST THE INTERNAL LENSES OVER THE DRIVING/PARKING/DIRECTIONAL LAMPS THAT HAVE THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT WITH THESE HEAT AFFECTED LENSES THAT THE OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LAMPS IS REDUCED. I'M AWARE THAT CADILLAC HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BULBS FOR THESE LAMPS AND ISSUED A RECALL IN '06. MY CAR HAS HAD THE RECALL WORK (BUT DID NOT INCLUDE LENS REPLACEMENT) PERFORMED, ACCORDING TO THE WARRANTY WORK HISTORY. MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER, AFTER EXAMINING THE PROBLEM, HAS REFERRED ME TO THE 800 NUMBER FOR A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. I DO PLAN TO TALK TO CADILLAC ABOUT THIS, BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD REGISTER THIS WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION ALSO. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 CADILLAC XLR ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, DRY HIGHWAY MY CAR DIPPED TO THE LEFT WITH INSTANTANEOUS STABILITRACK ACTIVE FLASH. THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER DIPPED LEFT AGAIN AND PULLED SEVERALLY TO THE LEFT. THE CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I COULD FEEL THE ABS PULSATING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. FORTUNATELY NOTHING WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME OR THERE WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK INTO MY LANE BY JUST BEING FULLY AWARE OF MY SURROUNDINGS AND HAVING BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE TIME. A FEW SECONDS LATER ANOTHER QUICK DIP AND THE SERVICE STABILITRACK CAME ON. NO FURTHER EVENTS. I CALLED ONSTAR FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND NO TROUBLE CODES WERE FOUND ALTHOUGH THE SERVICE STABILITRACK WAS CLEARLY ILLUMINATED. AFTER A 5 MINUTE STOP (ENGINE OFF/RESTART) THE SERVICE STABILITRACK DID NOT BACK COME ON. AFTER PULLING ON TO THE STREET (APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH ) MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED - NO RELEASE - NO WARNING. AGAIN DRY HIGHWAY, NO POTHOLES, CLEAN STREET. WITH A CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO, BUT FORCE THE CAR FORWARD. RUBBER WAS BURNING AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE COMPLETELY LOCKED LEFT FRONT WHEEL. ONE CAR NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME AND THEN PULLED UP AND ASK WHAT WAS WRONG. HE STATED HE SAW NO BREAK LIGHTS BUT SAW THE CAR PULL LEFT AND SMOKE FROM THE FRONT WHEEL. AFTER FORCING THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER, I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN IT RESTARTED THE CAR THE WHEEL WAS FREE AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. I DROVE THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AND PULLED THE ABS FUSE. I NOW HAVE MANY WARNING LIGHTS, BUT KNOW THAT THE ABS AND STABILITRACK SYSTEM IS INACTIVE. STEERING POSITION CLIP ALREADY REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I CURRENTLY OWN THE ABOVE CADILLAC VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED PRIVATELY IN AUGUST 2010 WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES REGISTERING ON THE ODOMETER,I NOW HAVE 44,500 (APROX) DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNER IT,,,THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF 17 TIMES UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS. I AM A LICENSED MECHANIC SO I HAVE THE BACKGROUND TO BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE VEHICLE PROBLEMS,,,BUT THIS ONE HAS ME PERPLEXED THE CAR HAS STOPPED WHEN AT IDLE OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT VARIOUS LEVELS IN THE TANK. THE ONE THING THAT I NOTICE IN COMMON IS THAT THE FUEL AT THE FUEL RAIL TEST PORT, IS AERATED AND AT ABOUT 15PSI....THE ENGINE WILL NOT RUN AT THIS POINT. MOST OF THE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I HAVE MANAGED TO GET THE CAR CLEAR OF THE ROADWAY,BUT THREE TIMES I NEEDED ASSISTANCE TO PUSH OR PULL IT FROM TRAFFIC. I ONLY TODAY LEARNED OF A RECALL POSSIBLY AFFECTING MY CAR,,,,MORE THAN 4000 REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMPS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SUSPECT AND I MIGHT WELL HAVE ONE. I BELIEVE THE FORMER OWNER MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM POSSIBLY LEADING HIM TO SELL THE VEHICLE, OUT OF FRUSTRATION,I KNOW IT HAS CERTAINLY AFFECTED MY WIFE AND I....SHE WONT EVEN RIDE IN THE CAR ANYMORE ,OUT OF FEAR WE WILL BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR STALLING. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AT THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER IN TUCSON WITH NO SUCCESS....AND NOW IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I REALLY NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. SINCERELY *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THE COMPLAINT BELOW REGARDING MY 2004 CADILLAC XLR. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED BELOW. MAKE : CADILLAC MODEL : XLR YEAR : 2004 MANUFACTURER : GENERAL MOTORS CORP. CRASH : NO FIRE : NO NUMBER OF INJURIES: 0 ODI ID NUMBER : 10342498 NUMBER OF DEATHS: 0 DATE OF FAILURE: JULY 10, 2010 VIN : [XXX]... COMPONENT: SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC SUMMARY: I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC XLR THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2005-2009 CORVETTES HAVE. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CARS BRAKES LIGHT DO NOT WORK WHEN THIS COMES ON. YOUR CASE NUMBERS FOR THIS ARE PE08056 AND EA09-002 MY CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT SUDDENLY WHEN THIS MESSAGE CAME ON. ALSO ANOTHER RELATED PROBLEM TO THIS IN BOTH CORVETTES AND XLR'S IS AFTER THIS HAPPENS AND YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND START THE CAR AGAIN IT GIVES A MESSAGE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE THE CAR HAS PUSH BUTTON START. THE CAR WILL NOT START SOMETIMES AND WHEN IT DOES IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK WITHOUT FORCING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS YOU CAN. THE XLR IS PART CORVETTE AND WAS BUILT IN THE CORVETTE PLANT I THINK GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO INCLUDE THEM IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE HAD OTHER MOTORISTS FLAG ME DOWN ABOUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS NOT COMING ON WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I SURE WOULD THINK THAT FOR $76,000 CAR GM COULD AT LEAST MAKE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK. CHECK TO REQUEST RESEARCH. SUBMIT BELOW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
TRAVELING 65MPH ON A FREEWAY, MY CADILLAC XLR SUDDENLY WAS UNCONTROLLABLE; IT THEN STARTED TO SPIN; WAS HIT B A SEMI AND CONTINUED TO SPIN. I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE. THE MORNING BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THE READ OUT SAID WAIT FOR STABILITRAK. I KNOW THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO BECOME UNSTABLE. I HAVE SEEN MENTION OF THIS FOR THE XLR ON THE INTERNET. WHEN I GOT TO A GARAGE AND GOT OUT, THE CAR LOCKED ME OUT WITH THE KEY IN THE CAR SO I AM SURE OF AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
A PRONOUNCED ODOR OF GASOLINE AND APPEARANCE OF AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING "CHECK GAS CAP" LED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE, A 2004 CADILLAC XLR, TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT A CROSSOVER PIPE BETWEEN THE TWO GASOLINE TANKS WAS LEAKING. REPLACEMENT OF THE CROSSOVER PIPE (AT A COST OF $2295.14) DID NOT CURE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FEED PIPE LEADING FROM THE GAS CAP TO THE GASOLINE TANK WAS LEAKING AT ITS INLET. REPLACEMENT OF THIS PIPE SILENCED THE ALARM AND ERROR MESSAGE. NOTABLY, THE DEALER'S MECHANICS INFORMED ME THAT GASOLINE HAD BEEN LEAKING ONTO THE TRANSMISSION CASING AND ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE, CREATING A VERY SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. INDEED, THE MECHANICS WERE TOO FRIGHTENED TO START THE ENGINE AFTER I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE THE ON AUGUST 3, 2009. INASMUCH AS THE CHASSIS OF THIS VEHICLE IS SHARED WITH MODEL YEAR 2005 AND LATER CORVETTES, IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM MAY BE WIDESPREAD. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, WHICH SUGGEST TO ME THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT -- A CONCLUSION ENDORSED BY THE DEALERS MECHANICS. AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND EXPLOSION MAKES THIS A PROBLEM THAT WARRANTS YOUR ATTENTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC XLR. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. ON NOVEMBER 6, 2006, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO NINE PARKED VEHICLES. ALL OF THE VEHICLES WERE DAMAGED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS IN THE REPAIR SHOP FROM NOVEMBER 6, 2006 TO FEBRUARY 23, 2007. THE CONTACT CALLED ONSTAR OVER 50 TIMES DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE ALSO FAILED AND, ON ONE OCCASION, THE POLICE HAD TO LET HER OUT OF HER OWN VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IS DISABLED AND THE FAILURE IS CAUSING THE ONSTAR TO FAIL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CONTACT IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK AND DOES NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

STRUCTURE
PRE-LITIGATION STATEMENT FOR SETTLEMENT & COMPROMISE PURPOSES ONLY PURSUANT TO NRS**CC AS THE CONSUMER WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT HER DRIVEWAY, SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY LOW TO THE GROUND TO THE POINT THAT IT DAMAGED THE CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WHILE BACKING ONTO THE STREET. AFTER DURING RESEARCH, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT REGULATIONS WERE SET FORTH BY NHTSA, THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HOLD MORE THAN 342LBS OF PASSENGER AND CARGO WEIGHT. THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THE ONLY PLACE THE VEHICLE DISCLOSED SUCH RESTRICTIONS WAS ON THE SIDE DOOR IN A RELATIVELY CONCEALED AREA. THE SALES AGENT NEVER INFORMED THE CONSUMER ABOUT THE WEIGHT RESTRICTION. THE CONSUMER AND HER FIANCEE HAVE A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 396LBS WITH NO CARGO ALLOWANCE. THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING TO BE LET OUT OF THE LEASE DUE TO NON-DISCLOSURE OF THE WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS. (LAWYER ON BEHALF OF CLIENT). *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS SLID UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN. THIS CONTINUOUSLY OCCURRED, BUT THE SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS INOPERATIVE, THE DEALER REPLACED A BLOWN FUSE. THE CD PLAYER WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE CRUISE CONTROL DID REACT AS IT SHOULD WHEN GETTING CLOSE TO OTHER VEHICLES, THE POWER SEATS WERE NOT HOLDING THEIR MEMORY. THE WAS A REPETITIVE CLICK COMING FROM THE DASH AREA.

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT IS UNSTABLE ON TRACK AND MOVES BACK AND FORTH DURING ACCELERATION AND/OR BRAKING. THIS IS AN ANNOYANCE AND DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSAFE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER (CADILLAC OF NAPERVILLE) BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS TYPE OF MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT WAS "NORMAL".

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC XLR WITH 8031 MILES. THE CAR HAS MICHELIN PILOT ZEROPRESSURE TIRES. THE SIDEWALLS BUBBLE WHEN YOU HIT A POTHOLE, AND I DON'T MEAN A BIG POT HOLE. I HAVE WATCHED MANY CARS TRAVEL THROUGH THIS PART OF THE ROAD AND HIT THE SAME POT HOLE I HIT WITHOUT THEIR SIDEWALLS BUBBLING AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE TIRES. THIS HAPPENED ON THE FIRST AND ONLY POTHOLE I HIT. THESE TIRES SELL FOR $415.00 PLUS TAX. THEY SHOULD HOLD UP AT LEAST AS WELL AS THE 79.99 SPECIAL WHICH HAD NO DAMAGE TO THEIR TIRES.*AK
