Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Window in front door and other doors jump off track and drop down. If hale storm, or heavy rain this could impair drivers ability to operate safely. Cadillac has many complaints due to this after I investigated it. I have 2 doors at present with windows broke. Please advise what I can do and expect gmc to do.”
NHTSA complaint #10362568, filed 2010-10, 122,000 miles“Rolled down front passenger window using the driver button and was down for about a minute and then as I tried to bring it back up with the same button the window came up and then slammed down inside the window. The plastic guides broke inside and had to replace. The following week, the rear driver side window did the same thing. Today, my wife got the car washed and the attendant was unable to get the passenger rear window up without using his hands to help pull it back up. I'm hoping I'm not having to replace that one soon. It looks like others have been having the same problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10616536, filed 2014-07, 65,000 miles“Driver side power window failed in the down (open) position during heavy rain. A very fragile plastic connector failed where connected to a cable. The service man commented that this is a very frequent failure on this car. Window came down while on the highway at 70 MPH. Causing my coffee to spill on the interior and myself. Cadillac dealer repair cost for window is $550.00.”
NHTSA complaint #10181291, filed 2007-02, 72,000 miles“Dt: windows fall down without warning. In all weather conditions had problem fixed on two windows, both front windows. The last one was the passenger side rear. It has not been fixed yet. Dealer and manufacturer said they will not fix window for free. Caller maintained problem affected the door; the passenger side rear door will not open. Caller felt children were in danger.”
NHTSA complaint #10125084, filed 2005-06, 65,000 miles“Three of the four power windows have broken in the past six months, at seperate times. Each time the window was being rolled down there was a loud pop and the window would not go back up. One I could understand, but three in six months on a $40,000 car is unreasonable.”
