THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A "BLIND SPOT DETECTOR" SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM FAILS "OCCASIONALLY". THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT FAILS WHEN I AM TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE OF THIS ISSUE 4 OR 5 TIMES WITHOUT ANY REPAIR. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN, I WAS TOLD THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND "CADILLAC IS WORKING ON A FIX". THIS WAS MORE THAN 5 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT A FIX. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED ON A HIGHER LEVEL.
