Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After researching my heater/cooler problem in my seats I find the Cadillac needs to be held responsible for the problem that has exists for a long time and even after consulting authorized Cadillac dealeships I have been given the run around because they could not find the problem! I just want Cadillac to fix my current heat/cooler problem in my seats!”

NHTSA complaint #10783125, filed 2015-10, 80,000 miles

“The front heated/cooled seats were working intermittently, while driving, since january 2017. Two weeks ago they stopped altogether. Upon investigation I had to remove the passenger seat in order to inspect the control module. I found two wires burned and the large plug stuck in the control module pin area. I'm waiting on some parts before I can proceed with the possible repair. There should be an immediate recall to have GM repair this problem at no cost to the consumer. It is definitely a fire hazard. The number on the control module is 100-1325-f. …”

NHTSA complaint #10957315, filed 2017-02, 40,000 miles

“The plug that connects to the heat/cool module has now melted on the yellow/red wire which is about a 10ga wire. I have read many forums and online articles about GM having this problem on many other GM vehicles. This is a huge problem which can result in a fire since the wire gets hot it can possibly ignite the padding underneath the seat. I should not have to fix this myself it should be repaired by the dealer. I currently have about 47k miles on my Cadillac and the heat and cool seats no longer work unless I make the repairs.”

NHTSA complaint #10628814, filed 2014-08, 31,000 miles

“The heated/cooled seats stopped working. Later they started working again. This cycle of working/not working continued for a few months then they quit completely. After searching online for solutions, I found that the DTS, buick lucerne, and a few other GM vehicles have this same problem. The wiring connector under the passenger seat overheats and melts causing a poor connection resulting in the heat/cool settings to malfunction and not work. This is a fire hazard! Gm is charging people around $1000 to diagnose and repair the problem when it's their own faulty engineering. …”
