I BOUGHT THIS CADILLAC 2017 XT-5 USED WITH 4,000 ON IT IT HAS 11,000 ON IT KNOW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR TIRE ROTATION & OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THESE TIRES MICHELIN PREMIER LTX 235/65 R 18 TIRES ON THIS YEAR 2017 ARE BAD TIRES. THE TREAD ON THE TIRE WAS MEASURED . 5/32NDS AT 11,000 MILES THESE TIRES ARE WARRANTYED TO 40,000 MILES. THEY SAY YOU SHOULD REPLACE YOUR TIRES IF THE TREAD TREAD IS 4/32NDS OR LESS! I THINK THAT WILL HAPEN IN THE NEXT 5,000 WHEN I GO IN FOR MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I THINK I SHOULD HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED FOR NO CHARGE AT ALL. THE DEALER SAID WHEN I COME IN AT 16,000 MILES FOR MY OIL CHANGE HE SAID HE WILL REPLACE THE BAD TIRE WITH NEW ONES THAT COST $205. HE SAID HE'D PRO RATE THE TIRES & HE SAID THE WILL CHARGE ME $450 FOR THEM. IF THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTED , WHY SHOULD I PAY ANY MONEY TO REPLACE THEM, IF THEY MANUFACTURED THE TIRES WRONG ??? VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE TIRES. I HAVE BOUGHT MICHELIN TIRES FOR AT LEAST 4 VEHICLES , IN PAST YEAR'S,AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES!!

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. STARTING AT 17,500 MILES ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN TO 4/32". NOW AT 20,000 MILES TIRES ARE WORN TO 3/32 AND 4/32. TIRES ARE WORN EVENLY AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED AT DEALER WITH SERVICE RECORDS TO SUPPORT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE XT5 TIRES ARE ONLY LASTING 25,000 MILES MAX. I WAS THE THIRD COMPLAINT OF THE DAY AT 1:00 THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO THE DEALER. TIRE MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES (PRORATES) THE TIRE FOR 60K MILES BUT CADILLAC CUSTOMER CARE SAYS TIRES ARE NORMAL WEAR AND WILL NOT SUPPORT THE ISSUE, EVEN WITH ONLY 20K MILES.. CLEARLY WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND EVENLY WORN TIRES , EITHER THERE IS A TIRE MANUFACTURER ISSUE OR GM ENGINEERING SPECIFIED THE WRONG TIRE. A CADILLAC WITH 20K MILES SHOULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR NEW TIRES, AND GM ENGINEERING NEEDS TO EVALUATE THE CONCERN AND VERIFY WITH THEIR DEALER NETWORK, ESPECIALLY IN THE DETROIT AREA. TIRES WORN AT 30% OF THE PROJECTED WARRANTY POSES A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY ON WET OR SLIPPERY ROADS WHEN VEHICLE HANDLING IS COMPROMISED. MY DEALER NOTES PREMATURE WEAR AS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CADILLAC XT5. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH CADILLAC CUSTOMER CARE, HOWEVER WITH NO INVESTIGATION THEY DENY THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ITEM AS A CONCERN.

SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND CAR LOST ALL POWER. NO ABILITY TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS OR CALL FOR HELP OR ANYTHING. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED SINCE THERE WERE NO LIGHTS AT ALL ON THE CAR AND NO WAY TO TURN ON ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THANK GOODNESS THIS HAPPENED WHEN STOPPED AND NOT MOVING. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THE OUTCOME OF LOSING POWER AT SPEED WHEN EVERYTHING IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, FOR 5 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN ALARMING ON THE FIRST DAY I DROVE IT (10/16/20). MONDAY, 10/19/20, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "PARK" WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP DID A QUICK ASSESSMENT AND CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. MY IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS WERE "WHY DIDN'T THE BATTERY INDICATOR APPEAR?" AND "WHY WOULD A LOW BATTERY CAUSE THE SUV TO GO INTO PARK WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT?" HOWEVER, AS THEY WERE RETURNING THE SUV TO ME, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRIC CONTROL WAS REPLACED DUE TO "AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN SHIFTER" THAT WAS UNDETECTABLE. ON 12/21/20, THE SAME DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WATER OULET BECAUSE THEY FOUND A LEAK "COMING FROM BETWEEN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND WATER OUTLET PIPE". ON 3/14/20, AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE 175 MILES AT 75MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING TO ME PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED AND NO ALARMS SOUNDED. ADDITIONALLY, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT WOULD NOT RESTART. ONSTAR RAN A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND NO CODES WERE FOUND. THE THERMOSTAT HAD A NORMAL READING. THE ONSTAR REPRESENTATIVE RECOMMENDED THAT I ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. I DROVE BACK HOME WHILE MAKING FREQUENT STOPS TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL OFF. ON 3/15/20, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON 3/22/20, THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS DURING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. THEY ALSO DID NOT TEST THE VEHICLE BY DRIVING IT EITHER. I WAS TOLD ME TO COME PICK UP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT KNOWING THE REASON THAT THE SUV CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE 2017 CADILLAC XT5 IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE.

FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A SERVICE TRANSMISSION SOON WARNING FROM OUR 2017 CADILLAC XT5 BUT EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT IN TO CADILLAC THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE WARNING. I HAVE PICTURES DOCUMENTING ALMOST EVERY TIME THE MESSAGE HAS COME UP EXCEPT FOR TWO TIME INCLUDING THE MOST RECENT AS I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE ON ME AT THE TIME. IT HAS BEEN TO CADILLAC 3 OR 4 TIMES FOR THIS. THE MOST RECENT TIME WE RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE THERE WAS A MESSAGE FOLLOWING THAT STATED YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT SOON WHILE ON THE XPRESSWAY AND WE WERE DRIVE 65 MPH WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET PICTURES THIS TIME AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE ON ME. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO CADILLAC AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE MESSAGE AND THEY RECEIVED NO CODE WARNINGS. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING STRANGE SOUND DURING GEAR SHIFTS AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS LIKE IT IS WORKING REALLY HARD AROUND THE TIMES WHENEVER WE RECEIVED THESE MESSAGES. THE CAR ALSO HANDLES VERY DIFFERENTLY AND DIFFICULTLY DURING THIS TIME. WE ARE HIGHLY CONCERNED AS THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, WHEN ACCELERATOR HITS THE FLOOR, THE PEDAL WILL STICK, CONTINUALLY ACCELERATING. THERE IS NO WAY TO UNSTICK THIS AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO INCREASE SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE BRAKES, EVEN THOUGH THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR; I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL THINKING IT MAY RELEASE IT AND EVENTUALLY IT DID. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. VERY SCARY.

STABILIZE WARNING KEEPS COMING ON AND SAYS TO SET PARKING BREAK AS WELL. READING ABOUT THIS, IT IS A VERY COMMON WARNING THAT CAUSES THE STABILITY SENSORS TO FAIL AND INCREASE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFTEY FEATURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS CREATES AN UNNECESSARY SAFTEY HAZARD THAT CADILLAC WILL NOT ADMIT TO OR FIX. THIS SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN SITTING STILL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

ON MARCH 23 WE TOOK OUR 2017 CADILLAC XT5 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE BECAUSE 2 DAYS PRIOR, THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE WHILE IN A STATIONARY POSITION. WE WERE ABLE TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, BUT THE BRAKE RELEASED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY HAD REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR AND STATED THAT IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY FOR US AND CONTINUED TO DO SO UNTIL THE MORNING OF APRIL 9TH. MY WIFE WAS JUST LEAVING WORK THAT MORNING AND STARTED DRIVING THE CAR HOME WHEN SHE APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SLOWED OR STOPPED. SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GO THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO A PARKING STALL. IF SHE HAD MADE IT THROUGH THE LIGHT ON GREEN, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A GRAND TOTAL OF 108 ADDITIONAL MILES SINCE THE LAST SERVICE ON MARCH 23. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD IT FOR ALMOST A WEEK. THEY FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER WHICH CAUSED THE FAIL. THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER WERE BOTH REPLACED. AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AT THE SAME TIME MAY HAVE BEEN A SIGN THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAILING. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 AT APRROX. 75/80 MPH WHEN MY DASHBOARD LIT-UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND MY CADILLAC POWERED DOWN TO LESS THAN 50 MPH INSTANTLY. THE STABILITRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, PARKING BRAKE AND CAR ASSIST LIGHTS CAME ON WITH A WARNING TO "TRAVEL WITH CARE". I HAD TO MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OVER THREE LANES TO GET OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO NOISE, SMOKE OR EVIDENCE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I COULD ONLY DRIVE THE CAR 55 MPH WITH THE FOOT PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR BOARD. IT WAS 4:00 AM AND I WAS AN HOUR FROM HOME. INSTEAD OF CONTACTING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME...TAKING PRECAUTIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP...WHO COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE SERVICING MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. AFTER THEY CHECKED OUT MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE (TAKING IT UP TO 80 MPH), I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. NO CODES WERE STORED IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I FIND THAT ODD. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT WHEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A CAR MALFUNCTIONS THAT A CODE WOULD BE STORED. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MY VEHICLE. I MAINLY DRIVE WITHIN MY SMALL TOWN...NOT HAVING TO EXCEED 45 MPH ON A DAILY BASIS. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE TO TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK 2-3 TIMES A MONTH. I AM VERY UNEASY ABOUT HAVING TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AGAIN. I WAS NOT GIVEN CONFIDENCE OR COMFORT FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS LEFT ME DISENCHANTED WITH THIS CADILLAC. I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT AND BUY OR TRADE-IN ON SOMETHING NEW AT THIS TIME. I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BETTER SERVICE AND REASSURANCE.

I HAVE A 2017 CADILLAC XT5 WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEALER HAD JUST INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRES INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE ARE WORN OUT AND MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE FIRST SNOWFALL. THE WARRANTY ON THESE TIRES IS 60,000 MILES, TIRE ROTATIONS WERE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE. A QUICK SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE AFFECTING THIS PARTICULAR GM VEHICLE. THIS PREMATURE FAILURE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO GET THIS RESOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE INTO PARK. ALSO, THE SERVICE ENGINE, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, AND ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK; HOWEVER, IT UNINTENTIONALLY WENT BACK INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PLAZA CADILLAC (8893 US-441, LEESBURG, FL 34788, (352) 787-1323) WHERE THE CHASSIS CONTROL, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AND RANGE CONTROL MODULES WERE REPROGRAMMED. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN PLACING THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARK. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ROLLING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CADILLAC XT5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS (INTELEBEAMS) WERE DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY ILLUMINATE WHEN APPROACHING A VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS WERE SUPPOSED TO DEACTIVATE WHEN APPROACHING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTELEBEAMS WERE NOT OPERATING CONSISTENTLY. THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND ON WITHOUT ANY EFFORT FROM THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START SOMETIMES DUE TO A DRAINED BATTERY. THE INTELEBEAMS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO BE MANUALLY TURNED ON AND OFF, BUT THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF A POSSIBLE CRASH OR ROAD RAGE INCIDENT IF THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AMERICAN CHEVROLET CADILLAC MUNCIE (6580 W HOMETOWN BLVD, MUNCIE, IN 47304, (765) 212-3294) AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

ALSO, THE 360 DEGREE CAMERAS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY INCLUDING THE BACKUP CAMERA LEAVING ME BLIND WHEN PARKING OR BACKING UP. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES AND CADILLAC HAS NOW DECLARED MY VEHICLE A "LEMON" AND IS REPURCHASING IT. INTERESTINGLY, I'VE BEEN DRIVING TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIPS THROUGHOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA AND HAVE NOTICED A HIGH NUMBER OF XT5'S WITH THEIR DASHBOARDS COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED IN THEIR SERVICE AREA. ONE SERVICE TECH ADMITTED HE'S ALSO SEEN THIS ISSUE IN OTHER XT5'S. THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A PATTERN AND CADILLAC IS DENYING TO ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

THE PANORAMIC ROOF ON OUR CADILLAC XT5 CAN NOT BE USED WITHOUT EXTREME PRESSURE IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING IF YOU OPEN THE SUN SHADE AND OPEN A WINDOW THE SAME THING OCCURS, EXTREME PRESSURE IN THE CABIN, OR OPEN THE SUN ROOF WHEN DRIVING. THE PRESSURE IS SO EXTREME THAT IT CAUSES VERY PAINFUL PRESSURE IN THE EARS, TO THE POINT I ALMOST WRECKED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC ARE COMPLETELY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID NOTHING WHEN WE TEST DROVE IT, THERE IS NOTHING STATED ABOUT IT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND NOTHING STATED HOW TO REMEDY THIS PAINFUL ISSUE. AFTER THE FIRST EXPERIENCE IN OCT. 2017 SHORTLY AFTER LEASING THE VEHICLE, WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT, AND THE SALESPERSON AND HIS MANAGER BOTH KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH ALL CADILLAC MODELS BECAUSE THEY SEALED THE CABIN SO WELL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF WHAT IT CAUSES TO THE INNER EAR AND THE FACT THAT GMC NEVER MADE MENTION OF THIS ISSUE SO CONSUMERS CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION IF THEY WISH TO HAVE A PANORAMIC ROOF. IN OUR CASE, IF WE WERE TOLD AS WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN, WE WOULD NEVER HAVE LEASED THIS VEHICLE. GMC MUST MAKE BUYERS/CONSUMERS AWARE AND THE DEALERSHIPS TOO, OR NOT OFFER SUCH SUN ROOFS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ONCE, REF. # 11071918 AND HAVE NO REPLY OR ANSWER.

NEW TOTALLY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION FELT STRANGE IN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE AND WAS REPORTED TO CADILLAC IN THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASE. AFTER FIVE MONTHS AND 1800 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. PRIOR TO COMPLETE FAILURE, THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ASK ED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALL OR ISSUES WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND HE INDICATED THERE WEREN'T ANY. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE TRANSMISSION BECAME ERADICT ON AN INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND WE WERE FORCED TO EXIST AND RETURN HOME ON LOCAL STREETS. THE CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE ABOUT 10MPH WITH THE ENGINE RACING UNTIL WE FINALLY DROVE THE 20 MILES TO OUT HOME. ONSTAR WAS ACTIVATED AND DIAGNOSED A SERIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND SCHEDULED TOWINT TO THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ON MARCH 26 AND AS OF APRIL 15 THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED TO ME.

MY CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTO STOP FEATURE TO SAVE FUEL. I WORKS FINE BUT IS VERY UNSAFE ON HILLS HERE IN SEATTLE. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A HILL AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I HAD A FREE RIGHT SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS A DELAY BUT BEFORE I COULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD IN THE INTERSECTION ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN WHO WAS J WALKING. THE NEXT INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY WHEN I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP ON A HILL. THERE WAS A CAR ON MY LEFT THAT WAS WAITING FOR ME TO GO SINCE IT WAS MY TURN AND I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL AND THERE WAS A DELAY SO I PUSHED HARDER. THE OTHER CAR THOUGHT I WAS WAITING FOR THEM SO THEY WENT AND THEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND CAME WITHIN A FOOT OF HITTING THEM. THEY WERE NOT TOO HAPPY AND GAVE ME A WELL DESERVED FINGER GESTURE. I BELIEVE MY CAR MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT TURN OFF THE FEATURE. I CALLED THE CADILLAC COMPANY AND FILED A COMPLAINT BUT HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FEATURE TURNED OFF. I KNOW ITS FOR GAS MILEAGE BUT I CAN AFFORD THE GAS.

MY WIFE AND I WENT FOR A RIDE WITH OUR LITTLE DOG WITH US, AND AS ALWAYS HE LIKES THE WINDOW DOWN SO HE CAN STICK HIS HEAD OUTSIDE. NO SOONER THAN WE HAD LOWERED THE ONE (1) WINDOW WE NOTICED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF CABIN PRESSURE AND BUFFETING, TO THE POINT THAT IT CAUSED EXTREME INNER EAR PRESSURE AND PAIN. AT THIS TIME WE ALSO HAD THE SHADE COVER FOR THE PANORAMIC ROOF OPENED. WE CLOSED THE SHADE COVER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE WINDOW DOWN, BUT THE CABIN PRESSURE REMAINED. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMED TO HELP WAS LOWERING AT LEAST A SECOND WINDOW IN THE REAR. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE I CALLED SEWELL CADILLAC IN HOUSTON, TX WHERE WE LEASED THE VEHICLE AND I TALKED TO TWO (2) PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH WE HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY VEHICLE WE OWNED PRIOR TO THIS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND CADILLAC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CREATED WHEN CADILLAC DESIGNED THIS AND PROBABLY OTHER VEHICLES AND SEALED THE DOORS AND THE COMPONENTS TO MAKE FOR A QUIET CABIN EXPERIENCE, AND NOT ALLOWING ANY AIR TO ESCAPE. THE PROBLEM I STATED IS WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS BY CADILLAC IN ANY LITERATURE WE HAD NOR DID ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP MAKE US AWARE PRIOR TO LEASING. AS I TOLD SEWELL CADILLAC REPRESENTATIVES I TALKED TO, WE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY PAST VEHICLE AND IF WE HAD KNOWN AND HAD BEEN TOLD ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WE WOULD NEVER HAD LEASED THIS VEHICLE. I DID EXPLAIN THAT NOW WE CAN'T EVER LOWER A SINGLE WINDOW WITHOUT THE PRESSURE AND EXTREME PAIN AND DO NOT LIKE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL WINDOWS DOWN. WE BELIEVE WE WERE MISLED BY NOT INFORMING US OF A KNOWN ISSUE SO AS A CONSUMER WE COULD MAKE A DECISION IF IT IS SOMETHING WE COULD LIVE WITH, AND IN OUR CASE WE CAN'T. WE ALSO BELIEVE SINCE THEY WERE AWARE AND NEVER TOLD US ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THIS MAY BE CONSIDERED CONSUMER FRAUD.
