Driving on i-75 from orlando on a clear sunny afternoon when I hear the sunroof start to rattle. I began to slow down when I heard a loud noise coming from the sunroof. I pull the inside cover back only to find a hole in the roof of the car where the sunroof used to be. We called the local cadillac dealership that following tuesday. We were told to take the car to the collision center that saturday only to find the collision center was technically closed but there was a person in there working who came out to the...

car and took pictures. Then we were told to take the car to the dealership only to find out from them that only the manager from the collision center could approve repair or financial assistance for repair. Well, after getting no help from the collision center or the dealership we contacted the corporate office for assistance/direction. They initially seemed helpful by contacting the dealership on my behalf and having the to manager to contact us. Today is may 20th and the manager has not contacted us yet. We stopped by the dealership today (after calling first to no avail) only to find the manager will be out of the office for the next two weeks and someone else will be contacting us. This has been a very frustrating ordeal! They (the dealership/collision center) don't have a reason as to why this could have happened and are avoiding us instead of providing the customer service they should. *Tr

addressed with problems not listed in recorder or unable to be duplicated. Since mar. 20, 2010 Most of the problems have recurred and I have recorded 16 specific malfunctions to date some of which I consider to be safety concerns. E.G sudden failure of cruise control system and/or difficulty in disengaging it; repeated attempts required to open windows and lock or unlock doors; malfunctioning of windshield wipers; with 125 lb. Wife in front passenger seat, "passenger air bag off" indicator is lighted. Is indicator faulty or is passenger air bag inoperative when it should be functional? I have a large dossier documenting numerous trips to the dealer to address over twenty issues and repetitions and have never had more than a half dozen problems with any of the 40 or 50 previous vehicles I have owned over the past 60+ years. It appears that since these numerous intermittent problems do not register in the vehicle's recorder, cadillac is using that as an excuse to avoid addressing the real problem, that is, the computers themselves. I entreat you to force cadillac to replace the defective computers before I just give it up as a hopeless situation and sell the auto. Although I have always bought american autos for over 60 years, I shall never again own a cadillac.

07 Cadillac sts - rear window shattered while driving on turnpike. Nothing struck the glass. The noise was extremely loud and I almost went out of control. Very dangerous. This should really be a gm recall and not a tsb. The dealer is replacing the glass under warranty with a redesigned glass and molding. *Tr
