While driving 30-40 mph over a washboard surface, all electrical accessories went blank. The car continued on in a drivable condition, but windows fogged up. Electrics returned after stopping and re-starting. Problem has not returned. Have not been able to recreate the condition. The ignition key has the insert installed. Wondering if the ignition switch is failing like other gm products of this era.
I cannot unlock the ignition system to remove the key, I believe there is a recall on this model to replace the ignition switch. So what should I do?.
Vehicle cut off on railroad track while I was crossing it,. It would not start, key stuck in ignition switch and I could put the vehicle in park, front wheels shake while driving in the city, while traveling on open highway I hit a bump and the vehicle jumped out of cruise control and stops. I had it fixed by edenton motors in north carolina. There is recall on Cadillacs, but not on our 2005 Cadillac Cts. .
