Letter also stated that I was to make an appointment with my Cadillac dealer to get the repair completed. None of this is true. The dealer informed me that the parts were not available and that they did not accept appointments for the repair. This letter from general motors, dated September 2014, and signed by [xxx], vice president - global safety is very misleading and apparently contains false information.

Was traveling approx. 55 mph lost all power except engine power. All dashboard features cd power and time. I have proceeded to pull off road turned key on again even though it was on and everything lit up again. . . If engine would of stopped this could of caused a serious accident.

Several issues with the 2004 Cadillac to report. #1 (most significant) the rear seat child seat latch mechanism does not work. I had this inspected by the dealership and then admitted that the design is defective and will not properly latch and hold the belt. Any wiggling of the seat will loosen the belt through the latch. The cadi does not have a lock type mechanism where you pull the belt all the way out and then it won't give. They claim the latch mechanism will hold. I drove around for two weeks with a two year old in a four inch slacked car seat. #2 - remaining miles display is defective. I recently ran out of gas when the display read "41 miles remaining". The service department admitted that this is the sixth time they have seen this and that I should us the gauge and not the display. What is the point of the display? very dangerous! I was stranded on the side of the road in a snow storm for over an hour. #3 - bose cd player has errored over 20 times and locks up with an "initializing cd" error. Not common to any one cd. Cd player will lock up and will be unusable for five minutes to two days.
