CRACKED DASH - THE DASH IS CRACKED AND EVERY MODEL 2007-2011 THAT WAS MADE HAS A CRACKED DASH. THE NEW REPLACEMENT DASHES FROM GM NOW HAVE REINFORCEMENTS THAT THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT DO NOT HAVE. IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED IT WOULD CAUSE THE PLASTIC DASH TO FLY AROUND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSING POSSIBLY FATAL WOUNDS!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH WITH THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THE HIGH BEAM (FLASH TO PASS) FEATURE SUDDENLY ENGAGED TO WARN OPPOSING DRIVERS OF AN ANIMAL IN THE ROADWAY. THE HIGH BEAM (FLASH TO PASS) FEATURE WAS FUNCTIONAL WHENEVER THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT FEATURE WAS DEACTIVATED BY MANUALLY TURNING OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND FLASHING THE HIGH BEAMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY STATED THAT THE HIGH BEAM (FLASH TO PASS) FEATURE WAS OPERATING AS THE MANUFACTURER DESIGNED. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE MANUFACTURER BE NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE COMPONENT WAS OPERATING TO THEIR SATISFACTION. IN ADDTION, THE RAIN TRACKER AUTOMATIC WINDSHIELD WIPERS SENSOR FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY IN PRECEPITATION OR MIST. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE. THE REVERSE MODE, TILT DOWN EXTERIOR MIRRORS FAILED TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE REVERSE MIRROR FAILURE. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE OTHER FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V050000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. SANTA MONICA BUICK GMC (1717 SANTA MONICA BLVD, SANTA MONICA, CA 90404) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AND TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS. OVER THE YEARS OF OWNING THE TRUCK, ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE FALLEN OFF THE OUTSIDE. ONE FELL OFF THE INSIDE. AND ANOTHER DOOR AFTER A REPAIR WOULDN'T OPEN AT ALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK IN DUE TO THE LAST OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKING. THE SERVICE MANAGER PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS OPENING THE DOOR WRONG, AND WASN'T I EVER INSERVICED ON HOW TO OPEN A DOOR WHEN I BOUGHT IT? REALLY? I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED AN INSERVICE, AND HOW IS THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT MY FAULT? THREE OF THE 4 DOORS WERE UNDER WARRANTY. BUT AFTER READING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE FORTH DOOR. *TR

FLASHING OF HEADLIGHTS DURING DAYTIME HOURS DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE. THE AUTOMATIC MODE TURNS THE HEADLAMPS ON DURING EVENING PERIODS & OFF DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PART TIME FEATURE. IN ORDER TO USE THE "FLASH TO PASS" DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, THE HEADLAMPS MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF THE AUTOMATIC MODE. I BELIEVE THIS HINDERS THE ABILITY TO USE THE HEADLAMPS FOR A SAFETY WARNING. *TR

IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS DIRECTED BY CADILLAC, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT FOR THE ENTIRE CADILLAC LINE AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS BRAND. *TR

MANY NEW VEHICLES HAVE LED TAILLIGHTS WHICH ARE STROBED. SOME OF THESE ARE STROBED AT SUCH A LOW RATE THAT THE STROBING BECOMES EVIDENT TO FOLLOWING DRIVERS.
