The contact left a message with a service manager at the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

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.

My car is exhibiting the same symptoms as nhtsa campaign id: 08v108000, recall date: 2008-03-11. However, my vin: [[redacted]], is not included in the recall. Summary gm is recalling 4,586 my 2008 cadillac sts and sts-v passenger vehicles for failing to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 138, 'Tire pressure monitoring systems' (tpms).

Left headlight fills with water during a rainstorm or car wash. Headlamp is foggy with moisture reducing the light output and will cause a premature headlamp failure.

My cadillac sts left front light seal leaks water into it and now the headlight won't come on. This was notice upon purchasing the vehicle and was told it was a manufactures problem. Now my head lamp only works on brights.

The headlights have a major fogging issue which leads to impaired visibility both for the driver of the car and for other drivers on the road. This issue is being reported in sts and cts cadillac forums at least as far back as 2008. I believe this is a defect in either the design or manufacturing of these components. *Tr

I have had ongoing problem with this since I bought the car used last august 2012. The passenger side headlamp cover gets a lot of moisture inside. I was going to fix myself so I went to "cadillac forums" and searched problem. Amazed to find all models of cadillac and always on passenger side is the moisture problem. Started in 03 model year and last questioned on 08 model year (after that warranty problem so dealer would handle. This is to much to be a coincidence and a recall should be issued. Thank you in advance. [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr

#1 The above mentioned vehicle was purchased in chicago on december 22, 2009. The odometer read 29,832 miles. When the car was driven back to maryland, a maryland vehicle inspection was required. The headlights failed the inspection. #2 Over the past two years, condensation built up inside both the headlights. In the past month, I noticed there was one inch of water in the driver side headlight. The water has now shorted out the light. I believe this problem is a defect and I have read similar complaints on...

I have a 2008 cadillac sts and I cant read the dash instruments in the daylight, the dealer says there is nothing they can do about it. I just leased an hrr chevy and it is the same way , I have owned lots of cars in my time and never had a problem like this . Seam like this would be a safety problem. *Tr

Led taillights are distracting, especially those with low refresh rates. The human retina takes 1ms to take a snapshot of the world, so lights with a refresh rate below 1000hz should be banned from the roads. Cadillacs in particular are bad, with refresh rates apparently around 60hz or so. I can usually spot caddies from a distance on the freeway at night due to how much their taillights flicker. It is extremely annoying, being the equivalent to flashing a light on and off rapidly, and distracts me away from the...
