The contact owns a 2006 Cadillac Dts. While the contact was driving approximately 25 mph, the tire pressure warning light indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a nearby auto service station where the technician detected that the front driver side alloy wheel rim exhibited corrosion which caused a loss of air pressure in the front driver side tire. The wheel rim was cleaned. The tire was re- mounted and re-balanced. The identical failure would occur every three months on a different wheel rim. The contact stated that all four alloy wheels were repaired over a period of time. The failure mileage was 18,000. Updated 12/21/bf updated 12/29/10.
During a family outing, I noticed a rear tire that had lost air pressure again. I had no choice but to visit a discount tire, to diagnose the problem. We hadn't run over a nail nor a screw, but had become the victims of Cadillac's inferior production. The chrome plating began to peel, and separate from the alloy wheels. I was forced to purchase inferior aftermarket wheels in order to get my family home. The informative, and integritive agent at discount tire showed me that all four of my stock, chrome, Cadillac wheels had prematurely corroded, forcing my wife and I to replace the wheels. We have been spun, dismissed, and ignored by numerous Cadillac customer experience agents, regarding this issue, in spite of numerous complaints logged by other Dts owners, posted onto gminsider. Com. Cadillac has been well advised of this failure, yet Cadillac fails to accept that their product is substandard. My local dealership, coughlin motors of marysville, ohio, is reticent to resolve this issue, but, my question is, doesn't the president of our great nation, ride in a Dts? if I'm not mistaken, what are the conditions of his wheels? well, our vehicle had the same wheels. It is my professional opinion, Cadillac has produced an inferior product, and they should be held accountable for it. After all, the president of the united states, and his family, should be welcomed to the same durability and longevity, of Cadillac's product, my family and I, are entitled to? after all, didn't all of us bail out general motors in adverse conditions? in short, Cadillac has produced yet another inferior product. Isn't it time that gm answers for another inferior product, that affects our safety? granted, the potus has another Dts limo at his disposal; and I'm grateful for that. Sadly, my family of five, does not.
