THE MECHANIC RECOMMEND A TREATMENT THAT WOULD GIVE ME TIME TO SAVE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE REPLACEMENT OF MY ENGINE. I NOW HEAR THAT ENGINE FAILURE IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THESE MASSIVE BILL OF A PART THAT WAS PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF.

I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT GM SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM! I'VE WRITTEN TO GM AND RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE FROM "CUSTOMER SERVICE" WHO TOLD ME THAT CADILLAC SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AIR BAGS. IN THE MEANTIME MY CAR HAS A RECALL WHICH HAS REFLECTED IN SUCH A LOW TRADE IN VALUE THAT I CAN'T EVEN SELL MY CAR. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON THAT SAYS TO "SERVICE AIR BAGS" AND CADILLAC WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $1300 TO "SERVICE" THE AIR BAGS THEY WON'T REPLACE. SINCE WE LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE IT'S HOT AND HUMID, THE CONDITIONS MAKE IT EVEN MORE LIKELY THAT THE PROPELLANT CAN DEGRADE AND IF DEPLOYED CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. AND SINCE BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ELDERLY AND DISABLED, THIS CAUSES EVEN MORE CONCERNS.

THEY ARE TAMPERING WITH THE ODOMETERS AND SELLING CARS BY SNEAKING IN AN ODOMETER DISCREPANCY FORM WHILE YOU ARE SIGNING THE PAPERWORK WITHOUT MENTIONING IT OR DISCLOSING ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE MILEAGE BEING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME I COULD CALL THE PRESIDENT THE UNITED STATES FOR ALL THEY CARE BECAUSE THEY MAKE MORE MONEY SUING PEOPLE THAN THEY DO SELLING CARS. THEY STATED THAT THEIR CONTRACTS ARE BULLETPROOF AND THEREFORE I WILL NOT WIN A CASE AGAINST THEM. I AM REPORTING THEM FOR FRAUD THIS IS A FELONY IN ALL STATES YOU CANNOT TAMPER WITH ODOMETERS. THEY ARE STATING THAT I WILL NOT GET A REFUND FOR THE HALF DEPOSIT I PUT DOWN EVEN THOUGH THEY LIED ABOUT THE ODOMETER, I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH MY BANK AND THE POLICE AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND THAT I NEED TO REPORT HIM TO EVERY AGENCY I CAN TO TRY AND PREVENT OTHER PEOPLE FROM HAVING TO GO THROUGH WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. I HAVE INCLUDED THE CARFAX THAT SHOWS THE MILEAGE ON THE 27TH OF MAY BEING 230,000 MILES AND THEN AFTER THEY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT SHOWS THAT THE EMISSIONS WAS DONE ON MAY 30TH AND THE CAR ONLY HAD 98000 MILES ON IT.

SEEMS TO GET MOISTURE IN HEAD LIGHT AND I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BULBS.

HEATED SEAT CONTROL MODULE CONNECTION OVERHEATED FROM POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND STARTED FIRE.

WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH A CRACKED DASHBOARD AND DEPLOYMENT OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. ON JANUARY 8, 2019, TWO, LONG, WIDE CRACKS APPEARED IN THE PASSENGER DASHBOARD FROM THE WINDSHIELD VENT TOWARD THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THEY WERE ABOUT 6' LONG. BENEATH THE CRACKS ONE COULD SEE A LIGHT TAN, SOFT LOOKING ITEM. THE NEXT DAY A SIMILAR CRACK APPEARED ON THE DRIVER DASH. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE LIKE IT HAS BEEN EVERY DAY AND NIGHT. IT HAS ABOUT 72,000 MILES; WE ARE THE 2ND OWNER AND PURCHASED IT IN 2009 WITH ABOUT 7,000 MILES. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS LISTED AS PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CRACKS AND WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THEM. COULD IT BE A PARTIAL INFLATION? AND WILL THERE BE FLYING SHARDS OF PLASTIC DASH DURING AN INFLATION OF THE BAGS. THE CAR IS LISTED IN THE NHTSA RECALL 16V381; MANUFACTURE RECALL NUMBER 2049151. THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 29,2016, GM OFFERED TO COVER THE ESTIMATED $1,082.78 REPAIR OF A CRACKED DASHBOARD IN A 2011 GMC YUKON DENALI IN TATE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. LANDERS BUICK GMC IS THE POINT DEALERSHIP FOR MID-SOUTH GM CRACKED DASHBOARD COMPLAINTS.

HEATED SEAT CONTROL MODULE CONNECTION OVERHEATED AND COMPLETELY MELTED ON DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS HAD TAKEN PLACE NOR HAVE I EVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF WARNING FROM GM THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A GREAT NUMBER OF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVING THIS SAME POOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT MOST ENDED UP STARTING A FIRE. I WAS HAVING MY OIL CHANGED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP, AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK AS TO WHY MY HEATED SEATS WERE NO LONGER WORKING. THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS PARTIALLY MELTED, SO IT COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE AS WELL. THE REPAIR COST FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND I WASN'T ABOUT TO PAY JUST FOR THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN AGAIN OR CONSTANTLY WORRY IF REPAIRED, WAS IT GONNA CAUSE A FIRE NEXT TIME. I STILL ENDED UP PAYING TO HAVE THEM SEARCH THE PROBLEM AND PAY TO DISCONNECT THE MODULE COMPLETELY. $800 PLUS DOLLARS TO REPAIR , MOSTLY LABOR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE SEAT TO REPLACE THE MODULE. HA!, THEY DISCONNECT THE BURNT UP MODULES WITHOUT TAKING MY SEAT OUT, SERIOUSLY??? SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT THE HEATED STEERING AS WELL?!?!. AFTER REVIEWING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCE , CADILLAC SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. YOU CAN BET THAT I'M VERY FURIOUS ABOUT THIS AND I EXPECT AN ANSWER BACK WITH AN EXPLANATION.

GM HAS MANUFACTURED DEFECTS/DESIGN FAILURES INTO NUMEROUS PARTS IN MY 2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT. THE DOOR HANDLES ALL BROKE OFF APPARENTLY BECAUSE THEY USED WEAK PLASTIC PARTS. THE ENGINE IS STALLING AND WON'T START (POSSIBLY DUE TO CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND DEFFECTIVE CAM SHAFT OR FUEL CONTROL MODULE THEY DID A RECALL ON AND NEVER FIXED ON MY CAR)...APPARENTLY THE OIL SENSOR GOES 1ST AND THEN THE CAM SHAFT AND OIL PRESSURE ISSUES COME NEXT...BUT THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CAM SHAFT IN THE 1ST PLACE...VERY DANGEROUS AND BOUND TO LEAVE YOU STRANDED OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! AS FOR STEERING, THE POWER RACK & PINION IS DESIGNED TO START LEAKING REQUIRING A NEW $450+ PART PLUS LABOR TO PUT IN AS THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THE POWER STEERING LEAKAGE...FINALLY, THE HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT AND GM COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT ANY HARDER TO REPLACE THEM NOR MORE EXPENSIVE- REQUIRING FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL AND USUALLY A RESULT OF THEIR DEFECTIVE WATERPROOFING OF THE LIGHT AND BALLAST! (I PUT 1/19 BELOW BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST YEAR OF SO RIGHT AROUND THE 100,000 MILE MARKER)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING SENSOR ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

USING REMOTE START CAUSED THE HEATED SEATS TO BURN OUT. THERE WAS AN ODOR OF ELECTRICAL BURNING. THE CONTROL MODULE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS VISIBLE SIGNS OF BURNING OR BURNT OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS CLEARLY A FIRE HAZARD. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND REMOTE START USED.

TAKATA RECALL: TRYING TO GET AIR BAGS REPLACED BUT GM/CADILLAC MAINTAINS THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE! I LIVE IN HIGH HEAT, HIGH HUMIDITY AREA AND ACCORDING TO REPORTS AT SEVERE RISK! DEALER WILL NOT SUPPLY A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE WAITING ON PARTS!

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

TAKATA RECALL. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS RECALL? MY 2008 CADILLAC IS IN LIMBO AS GM DRAGS ITS FEET WITH PETITIONS TO AVOID THE WHOLE ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE, I HAVE IMPORTED THIS VEHICLE INTO CANADA AND CAN NOT REGISTER OR LEGALLY DRIVE IT UNTIL ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. DOES ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAVE ANY POWER TO MAKE AN AUTO MANUFACTURER COMPLY WITH A RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER?THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH NO RESOLUTION AS YET. FRUSTRATING AND VERY DISAPPOINTING.

TAKATA RECALL: MY 2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE WAS RUNNING IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY SON GOT OUT OF THE CAR FIRMLY CLOSED THE DOOR AND BOTH SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR NOW AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED GUARANTY CHEVROLET IN SANTA ANA CA AND TUSTIN CADILLAC TO HAVE MY TAKATA AIR BAG REPLCED AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN CAN I EXPECT A RESOLUTION TO THIS RECALL? THANKS!
