SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I PURCHASED THE USED AFTER IT HAD 38000 MILES. AFTER PURCHASE I FOUND I HAD NUMEROUS BRAKE COMPLAINTS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT RIGHT CALIPER. REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH TWO NEW ONES AND INSTALED NEW PADS. RESEARCHING THE BRAKE PROBLEMS I DISCOVERED THE CAR HAD BRKE PAD REPLACENT 2 PREVIOUS STARING AT 9400 MILES AND HAD THE ROTORS MACHINED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE. ADDITIONALLY I WAS TOLD THE LEFT CALIPER HAD BEEN REPLACED ALSO ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO RECORD. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO "CHATTER" UPON BRAKING. I DON'T BELIEVE HAVING BRAKE WORK DONE 4 TIMES WITHIN 51000 TIMES IS NORMAL. THEREFORE I'M REPORTING AS A DEFECT DESPITE THE DEALERS PROTESTATIONS THAT EVERYTHING I NORMAL. DT

#754040November 3, 2001
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
FROM THE DAY THE CAR WAS DELIVERED, THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARED TO BE DIRTY OR ???? COULD NOT GET A CLEAR VISION. FINALLY IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS AREA OF APPROXIMATELY ONE SQUARE FOOT JUST TO THE RIGHT OF CENTER AND ABOUT MID-POINT VERTICALLY THAT HAD A WAVINESS, LOOKED LIKE ORANGE PEEL EFFECT IN A PAINTED SURFACE. CADILLAC SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY CERTAIN CAR WASH CHEMICALS, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO SUCH WARNING IN THE OPERATORS MANUAL. THE DISTORTION WAS SO BAD THAT ON TRIPS OF FIFTY MILES OR LONGER HEADACHES WERE CAUSED BY THE EFFECT ON EYES. AFTER ABOUT TEN MONTHS OF COMPLAINING AND FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL, CADILLAC AGREED TO REPLACE. KACHINA DID SO IN OCTOBER 2001.*AK
