Description of the problem | Driving on the i10, semis all around, driving about 65 mph. My daughter and her friend in the vehicle. All of the sudden it felt like i hit a wall. All power went out, lost all speed, when the power flickered back on, lights only no speed, all the dashboard was lite up, everything was making a sound, the vehicle kept going from d -drive to p-park, the rpm were maxed- yet no speed. At 51k i noticed the vehicle shifting hard and took it in to a cadillac dealership, thousands of dollars later, it has continued to do the same thing, just two days ago 2-7-15, it is still doing the same thing. Many times i have been in danger of loosing my life, am not exaggerating. My vehicle has only been touched by the dealership for all of its services and repair. This vehicle is extremely unsafe for driving. I have a book of all my service record documenting the same issue over, and over........................................... Again. According to my research there are thousands of people experiencing the same problem, and cadillac just sits back, probably waiting for loss of lives. |
