I PURCHASED A 2009 CADILLAC CTS4, I JUST RECENTLY HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT DUE TO ROAD HAZARD WHICH MADE THE TIRE NOT REPAIRABLE. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO PUT THE SPARE ON I DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO SPARE NO JACK NO LUG WRENCH.,.BUT JUST AN ELECTRIC TIRE PUMP AND A SEAL KIT IN THE WHEEL WELL. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME BUT MY POINT IS I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NOTHING TO TEMPORARILY FIX/REPLACE THE BAD TIRE. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THEY ORDERED A TIRE AND REPLACED IT.I QUESTIONED WHY NO SPARE AND THEY COULD NOT ANSWER,JUST SAID "THAT'S GM FOR YOU" THEY SAID THEY COULD ORDER A SPARE TIRE KIT FOR $340.00 WHICH I DID AND JUST REC'D TODAY. WITH THAT BEING SAID,MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN THEY SELL A CAR WITHOUT A SPARE,JACK,LUG WRENCH??? EVERY NEW CAR I HAVE PURCHASED OVER THE LAST 30 PLUS YEARS HAS ALWAYS HAD A SPARE!!.ISN'T IT REQUIRED UNDER DOT REGS. *TR THANK YOU
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 2, 2014 that they are recalling 554,328 model year 2003-2014 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured August 16, 2001, to April 28, 2014, and 2004-2006 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured March 20, 2003, to August 11, 2006. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2014. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 14172.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL CLEAN ALL WAX RESIDUE FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK AND INSTALL TWO NEW JAM NUTS. IF NECESSARY THE REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK MAY BE REPLACED.
