Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I just got a oil change, a week later the engine light came on, so I thought it needs a tune up so I took it to get one and they said it does not need a tune up, they have a code( p0008) they said is the engine position system performance, something about a belt that's lose n it needs to be fix soon or it can be dangerous if I don't fix it so I look around and saw a recall on that code, so I was reading about it, people being having the same problems but they all said that the dealer refuse to fix. How is that possible if is a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11329290, filed 2020-06, 1,156 miles“While driving my service traction control light came on I pulled over turn it off but not my car will not shift into gear and it has a loud roaring sound when driving”
NHTSA complaint #11066130, filed 2018-01, 105,000 miles“I own a 2009 Cadillac CTS, with approximately 90,000 miles. My check engine light came on and I took it to my Cadillac dealer. I was told my timing chain is stretched, loose or needs adjustment. I was told it would cost $1800. Upon research I discovered there was supposedly a special warranty on this specific problem. I called the Cadillac dealer, gave them my VIN number and was told, my vehicle was not included. I was very skeptical and did not believe that I was getting accurate information. I want to document this negative experience with my vehicle. It cost me $1280 to repair. …”
NHTSA complaint #10972306, filed 2017-04, 90,000 miles“I have found some recalls for this car by VIN.#, but when I enter it in GM recall site, they say there is no recalls. Mitchell and all data reported a passenger air bag module, no deployment problem. Heated windshield washer module can cause a possible fire. Rear tie rod nut can come loose and cause loss of vehicle control.”
NHTSA complaint #10584822, filed 2014-04“I purchased my vehicle in april of 2016 and it ran fine. But as of late I have been experiencing some major problems with the functioning of the vehicle. To date a service all wheel drive illuminates on the dash as well as a service stabilitrak which causes the check engine light to illuminate and the engine to reduce power. I was on a highway where the speed limit is 65 MPH and this occurred which almost cost me my life. I contacted my warranty company which was no help so I scheduled an appointment at a Cadillac dealer. …”
