2010 Cadillac Cts

MY CAR ALARM KEEPS BEEPING FOR NO REASON WHEN PARKED. AS SOON AS I START THE CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON. THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT SAYS THAT MY TIRE IS FLAT; SO, I CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES, AND IT'S STILL GIVING DRASTICALLY INACCURATE READINGS OFTEN. SOMETIMES IT SAYS THAT MY TIRE IS FLAT-- 0 PRESSURE, AND SOMETIMES, IT SAYS THAT IT HAS LOW PRESSURE. MY PROGRAMMED RADIO STATIONS KEEP DELETING FROM MEMORY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC CTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE TO NOTIFY THE CONTACT WHEN THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOLIDAY CHEVROLET CADILLAC (543 2ND ST, WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23185) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

WHEN DRIVING IN MY NORMAL SEATED POSITION I FIND THAT TRANSITIONING FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE AT THE LEAST TO ALMOST DANGEROUS.THE LEFT EDGE OF THE RIGHT FOOT ALMOST ALWAYS GETS CAUGHT BEHIND THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL.IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE THROTTLE PEDAL. HAS THIS ISSUE EVER COME UP BEFORE? I'VE TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE DRIVEN THESE MODELS AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTICED.IF THE RIGHT FOOT IS PLACED MORE TO THE RIGHT (MORE IN LINE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL|) IT IS NOT A PROBLEM.BUT ISN'T A NORMAL POSITION FOR ME AS I WOULD ASSUME FOR OTHER DRIVERS.I'M SURE THAT SHOE SIZE OR STYLE WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BUT IN A CONFINED ARE LIKE THESE CARS HAVE (THE CONSOLE SEEMS WIDER TO ALLOW FOR THE TRANSMISSION POSITION) THAT AN ALLOWANCE FOR MORE ROOM BETWEEN PEDALS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE. DAVE

THE REAR HATCHBACK LIFTS FAILED AND THE HATCH SPONTANEOUSLY CLOSES. THE PART THAT IS UNREASONABLE IS IT CLOSES UNDER POWER AND SLAMS ON MY HEAD INJURING MY HEAD AND NECK WITH POWER ASSIST! THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND I ACCESS THE REAR HATCH. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. NOW I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO HOLD IT UP FORCEFULLY WHILE A MOTOR PUSHES TO CLOSE IT.

CADILLAC SENT ME A LETTER DATED JUNE 2014 WITH MY VEHICLE'S VIN ON IT INDICATING THAT "THE SUPERCHARGER MAY DEVELOP A NOTICEABLE RATTLE NOISE AT IDLE. THE NOISE WILL TYPICALLY GO AWAY WHEN THE ENGINE RPM IS RAISED SLIGHTLY ABOVE IDLE. HOWEVER, IF LEFT UNCORRECTED, THE PROBLEM, OVER TIME, MAY LEAD TO CONTAMINATION OF THE LUBRICATING GREASE AND CAUSE THE BEARING TO SQUEAL. IF LEFT UNADDRESSED, THE BEARING MAY OVERHEAT AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE SEIZURE OR NO-START CONDITION." CADILLAC THEN GOES ON TO SAY THAT THEY WILL EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE FOR 10 YEARS FROM THE SERVICE DATE. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO ED MORSE CADILLAC IN SUNRISE FL IN JAN 2015 WITH THIS LETTER BECAUSE THE CAR HAD THE NOISE AS DESCRIBED IN THE CADILLAC LETTER. THE SERVICE ADVISER ADVISED THAT THIS CAR WAS NOT ONE OF THE VINS COVERED. ??? I JUST BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE THREE MECHANICS ALL HEARD THE NOISE AND INDICATED IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I CALLED UP THE CADILLAC NUMBER 1-800-204-0261 AND BASICALLY "MIN" TOLD ME THAT THIS ISN'T A RECALL BUT AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY, SO DESPITE CADILLAC SENDING ME A LETTER INDICATING MY CAR MAY HAVE THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM THAT THEY WILL FIX AND THAT MY CAR HAS THE INDICATED SYMPTOMS IN THEIR LETTER, MIN AT CADILLAC SAYS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC COSTS FOR CADILLAC TO DETERMINE IF THE PROBLEM AS INDICATED IN THEIR LETTER IS INDEED WHAT THEY SENT ME THE LETTER FOR. I FIND THIS UNBELIEVABLE THAT CADILLAC IS PUTTING THE ONUS ON THE CUSTOMERS TO RISK THE COST OF TEARDOWN OR A MAJOR ENGINE MALFUNCTION AND ACCIDENT, INSTEAD OF RECALLING THESE CARS AND TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM THAT THEY NOTIFIED ME OF. WHY SHOULD I BE FRONTING MONEY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CADILLAC SAYS I HAVE??? CLEARLY CADILLAC WOULD PREFER THE WARRANTY TO RUN OUT AND NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR $3K REPAIRS ON ALL OF THESE CARS.

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CODE P0008 TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. CADILLAC HAS A RECALL ON THE 3.6 TIMING CHAINS BUT MY VIN FOR SOME REASON ISN'T INCLUDED. MY CADILLAC ONLY HAS 76844 MILES ON IT. THE RECALL THEY HAVE IN PLACE IS FOR 10 YEARS 120000 MILES. AGAIN FOR SOME REASON MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED EVEN THO ITS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND EXACT SAME ENGINE.

DOOR LOCKS FREEZE UP. THE DRIVERS DOOR FROZE UP WHEN I STOPPED TO GET GAS (WHILE I WAS ON VACATION IN TN) COULD NOT OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE OR OUT. THAT WAS IN 9/2015 I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FLUKE! PAID OVER $600 FOR REPAIR. YESTERDAY I WENT TO GET IN MY VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN! SAME SCENIRO CANNOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT!
