TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

NOTIFIED LAST SUMMER (2014) ABOUT RECALL...IN SEPTEMBER (2014) NOTIFIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR...HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES....DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY MATERIALS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES THE IGNITION TURNING OFF....(THE REASON FOR THE RECALL)...FORTUNATELY HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. WHAT IS HOLDING UP THE REPAIRS? WHY SEND A LETTER INSTRUCTING US TO NOW GET IT REPAIRED WHEN THE LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE MATERIALS NEEDED? VERY FRUSTRATING!!!! *TR

THE KEY LOCKED UP ALL AT ONCE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO TURN ON OR OFF. WE HAD THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN COOLIDGE, AZ, (GARRETT MOTORS) REPLACE THE KEY CYLINDER. NOW GENERAL MOTORS HAS SENT US A RECALL REQUEST FOR THIS PART WHICH WE TOOK TO OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN FARIBAULT, MN. THERE WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT CADILLAC AND WERE GIVEN A FORM TO FILL OUT TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS PART WHICH WE HAD PAID $212.39 FOR. CADILLAC IS NOW DENYING OUR REQUEST SAYING THAT THE KEY LOCK CYLINDER IS NOT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SINCE THEY SAY IT WAS ONLY THE KEY. AT THE TIME, THE NEWLY MADE KEY WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE DEALERS AS IT HAD NOT EVEN BEEN CONSIDERED A RECALL PART AT THAT TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED ON 3/22/14 AND SHORTLY AFTER IN APRIL THE MEDIA BROADCAST THAT THE RECALL PROCESS HAD BEGAN ON THIS PART . WE FEEL WE ARE ENTITLED TO A REFUND AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS ON OUR BEHALF. *TR

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS ABOUT (1) PART THAT MUST BE REPAIRED IN MY 2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE SEDAN: (1) IGNITION SWITCH 14V355000, THE ONLY RECALL SHOWING UP ON THE GM WEB-SITE IS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE OTHER THREE AND THE FIRST ARE LISTED HERE TOTALING (4) RECALLS ALL TOGETHER! AFTER ENTERING MY MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, AND VIN, OF MY VEHICLE I RECEIVED THREE MORE URGENT RECALLS ! (2) FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR 03V238000, (3) DRIVER AIR BAG 03V051000, AND THE (4) AIR BAG INFLATOR 02V222000. DURING A RECORDED PHONE CONVERSATION AN AGENT AND A MANAGER AT/FROM (GM) GENERAL MOTORS STATED THAT THEY DO NO HONOR ANY RECALLS FROM SAFERCAR.GOV/NHTSA OR ANY OTHER WEB-SITE AS THEY ARE "NOT VALID" BUT THEIR OWN @GM.COM. THESE ARE SERIOUS RECALLS THAT REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND VALIDATION BY GM BEFORE THEY ARE SUED FOR MUCH MORE THAN SIMPLE REPAIRS! I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! BLESSINGS! ON AUGUST 21, 2013, HE PAID $300 TO REPLACE A TIE ROD. ON DECEMBER 30, 3013, THE TIE ROD BROKE AGAIN. HE HAD TO CALL AAA SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO ELECTRICAL FAILURES, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL.

A RECALL LETTER WAS SENT TO ME, I CONTACTED TO GM TO LET THEM KNOW THEIR RECALL WAS A LITTLE TOO LATE AND LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN A STORE PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I EXPERIENCED COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES,STEERING AND ELECTRICAL. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY. I HAD TO CARRY THE BATTERY 3 MILES EACH WAY, IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY .CAR WAS TOWED, REPAIRS WERE FOUND TO BE IGNITION PROBLEM AND A MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, COSTING OVER $800, HOW DO I GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS? GM SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME AND ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS,I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS AND HAD WE BEEN TOLD OF THE RECALL A BIG EXPENSE MIGHT OF BEEN SAVED,HOW DO I GET SOME SORT OF CLAIM FORM TO GET REIMBURSED? *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MHP ON I77 NORTH - WITHOUT NOTICE OF ANY KIND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER MY VEHICLE AND I LOST CONTROL AS WELL AS ALL POWER & ACCELERATION. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED SO FAST BUT I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED SEVERAL DASH BOARD/WARNING LIGHTS ON. THESE LIGHTS NORMALLY ONLY GO ON FOR A SECOND OR SO WHEN STARTING THE CAR. HAVING NO POWER OR ACCELERATION I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUT AN ACCIDENT BUT IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT MY IGNITION WAS ALREADY TURNED OFF. THE IGNITION KEY WAS NOT ALL THE OFF - JUST IN THE POSITION AS IF I WAS PARKED AND WANTED TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO. ONCE PULLED OVER I PLACED THE CAR IN "PARK" TURNED THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HOWEVER, NOW BOTH MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT" AND "AIR BAG" LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. THEY DO NOT GO OUT ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. I AM NOT ABLE TO NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OR HANDLING AT THIS TIME BUT AM CONCERNED WITH THE LIGHTS REMAINING ON AT ALL TIMES WHEN DRIVING AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS. *TR
