2008 Cadillac Cts

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE SO MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 5-10MPH WHEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THE CAR STOPPED MOVING AND ALL OF THE SYSTEM WARNINGS POPPED OFF (ABS, STABILTRACK,ENGINE). THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE PCM WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. COST WAS APPROX $200. AFTER THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXIT RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE WHEN ONCE AGAIN THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. ALL OF THE SYSTEM WARNINGS POPPED UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED ONCE AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T THE PCM AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME $265.00 TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE THE ELECTRICAL WIRING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. IT WAS FIXED FOR APPROX $800.00. EACH OF THE SYSTEM SHUT DOWNS HAPPENED WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ABOUT OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, BUT IT WOULD NOT CRANK AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE STABILIZER. ALSO, THE SEATS COULD NOT BE MOVED, COULD NOT PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, THE DOOR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK, AND THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON. I ATTEMPTED TO USE BRAND NEW BOOSTER CABLES (POSITIVE TO POSITIVE/NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE) AT THE REMOTE TERMINALS BUT STOPPED TRYING TO CONNECT FROM THE CHARGED BATTERY DUE TO SPARKING AS THOUGH I WAS REVERSING MY POLAR CONNECTIONS; AT ONE POINT, I SAW A FLICKER OF FLAMES AND I NEVER STARTED THE BOOSTER VEHICLE (12 VOLT). I HAD A WRECKER ATTENDANT TO TRY MY BOOSTER CABLES AND HE ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE WITH THE CONNECTION DIRECTLY TO THE BATTERY AND WITH THE BOOSTER CAR STARTED WHICH CREATED SMOKE AND OVER HEATED CABLES. AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE CAR WAS TAKEN, I WAS TOLD THE POSITIVE CABLE WAS USELESS AND THE BATTERY HAD A DEAD CELL. THIS WAS VERY COSTLY. I RETRIEVED MY CAR AFTER ABOUT 11 DAYS AND PARKED IT DIRECTLY IN THE GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY, I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR AND THE SAME ISSUE SURFACED. HAD IT MOVED BY WRECKER AGAIN, AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT THEY JUMPED THE BATTERY AND STARTED THE CAR, BUT HAD NOT DETERMINE THE DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. *TR
