Cadillac STS Electrical problems by year

The vehicle experiences a Shift-to-Park malfunction in which it does not consistently recognize that it is in Park, despite being physically shifted into the Park position. When this occurs, the vehicle may fail to shut down properly or behaves as if it is not securely in Park. The condition is reproducible and occurs during normal use. The issue first appeared in approximately mid-2024 at an estimated mileage of 80,000-85,000 miles and continues to occur. No crash or collision has occurred. However, the defect...

Air bag on the steering wheel has oozing glue that oozed/leaked out of the airbag and has hardened on outer cover! Lights and radio don't disconnect or turn off when car is turned off and drain battery.

While driving, the entire panel goes "off" shutting down the car completely. The panel board is completely dark, no electric supply, no gas supply.

My car has been diagnosed as having 'extended crank'. My local chevy dealer made approximately fifteen attempts at fixing it to no avail. I'm told it's the check valve, but I have not had that done because all attempts by the dealer didn't work; e.G., New computer (and removed), battery (and removed), fuel pump, etc. Very frustrating and I feel it's a matter of health and safety because the car almost never starts on the first attempt, and sounds like it's a dead battery.

When driving in rain the smallest amount of water will cause the reduced engine power to engage and it does not go off until the vehicle has sat for a long amount of time. Extremely dangerous. First the abs light comes on and then you lose power. 3Rd row led taillight out... 400 To fix. Purchased in march of 2018 with 93k miles. Currently at 104k.

We own a 2011 cadillac sts. Recently my wife was leaving for work and all of a sudden I felt the house shake. My wife was reversing out of the driveway when she applied the brakes. The pedal was so hard she could not press the pedal down. To avoid a crash she put the car into drive to keep it from going into the street. Once she was able to keep the vehicle out of the street she put the car in neutral, but the brakes were still not responding. Thats when our home became our car stopper. I drove the car afterwards...

Just bought the vehicle used and I hear a noise coming from the rear back of the car. The key fob wasn't working correctly and drained the battery and I had to buy a new battery.
