“This is a continual problem. Once the fuel gauge gets to approximately half tank, the fuel gauge does not read correctly. When you go around a curve or stop/go, the gauge goes to almost half full, and then fluctuates constantly. Thus you never really know how much fuel is remaining.”
NHTSA complaint #10632169, filed 2014-09, 54,000 miles“Vehicle will start to shake when driving over 40 MPH. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything. The consumer states that the dealer tried to remedy the problem, but was unable to do so. The vehicle has had a new driveshaft, a new winshield was applied due to a chip in the inside of windshield, the wheel had been bent/replaced, balanced/aligned and added a new rim, and supposedly a new set of tires from Cadillac-but had the same markings of the old tires/supposed to have been taken off. …”
