“Car was purchased new in 2002. Though it has never been wrecked, there are non-oem parts on the car. One of these parts was intended for the export market. So my american made car has a part that was intended for the export version. The part in question is the drivers side headlight assembly. My concern is that if other body parts were substituted the car might not be as crash worthy as it otherwise might have been.”
NHTSA complaint #10141187, filed 2005-10, 125 miles“The contact owns a 2002 Cadillac Seville. The contact stated that the low beams are inadequate. The range is off and limits the visibility on the road. He has notified the dealer on several occasions throughout the years; however, they only install better bulbs that do not correct the failure. Cadillac has yet to offer any assistance. The failure mileage was 32,000 and current mileage was 68,505.”
