“Passenger side front exterior door handle broke loose from the body of the vehicle. I contacted the dealer for repairs and was quoted $300+ for the repair. I looked online and was surprised that this is an issue for numerous owners. So I contacted Cadillac, and was initially told it was under warranty, and to take it in to the dealer for repairs at no cost to me. After taking off work, was told by the dealer that this was not true, when actuality the interior handles are the actual handles under warranty for the chrome pealing. …”

“The exterior door handles have pulled out from the door three times. When you go to open the door, the door handle pulls out from the door frame. I just had this happen again for the third time at a cost of $232.72. This could be a safety hazard if you were in a crash and had to have some one open the door from the outside to remove you or your family. It is obviously a design flaw.”
