The drivers side headlight shuts off and on or flickers - most noticeable during night time driving. Our dealer, ed shults Chevrolet, advised us that this particular model of the Cadillac cts was not under recall. We wanted an explanation as to why when all of the testimonials from other 2006 Cadillac owners reported the same problem. They dealer stated it had to do with where the car was manufactured. The total charge to us was $901. 80 to replace the light + labor. This was probably happening all the time we were driving but we only began to notice it during night time driving, most especially driving back from the buffalo International airport on the thruway. We live in the city of jamestown, NY so it wasn't really noticeable because of the city lights. After that, we were more diligent when driving at night and discovered0 it was on a daily thing. That was very scary.

So we bought the car. In 2012 or 2013. And in 2014 we received a yellow letter in the mail saying that our car needed to be serviced for a recall. We set it up. Ended up taking it in to be serviced for the recalls. Not knowing in 2008 they recalled what is now going wrong in the car, I didn’t say anything at the time we repaired it. It they didn’t either I believe and even if we didn’t say anything they honestly should’ve just repaired the part that was messed up for us and then let us know: now we have spent so much money towing our car back to our house so that it is safe, and have missed appointments, been stranded, I mean we have really, honestly and truly, very very compromised but this issue with the electrical system our car is having all the time since this recall repair was administered: now it has just gotten so bad we can noyt even drive it. We will get stuck where ever we turn it off unfortunately. I’ve not looked online at information taken all the necessary needs to find out if my vehicle was given the recall before we owned it just to be sure too, it was not. I know that everything that I have read relates directly perfectly to every single issue that we are have ig now on our car. The recall from 2014 the key doesn’t come out the ignition anymore and that’s very good, but I know that the Cadillac dealer, did not!! install any other part into the car but that service it asked for. Like beyond a doubt I don’t know what to do and would love to be able to get some answers soon. Thank you very much. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

I was driving down a 3 or 4 lanes, each way, road in orlando, florida at about 30 mph when it died. No warning or sputter, just died. It has happened off an on since that time. Probably 10 or 12 times, as I am turning into my driveway, pulling up to a stop sign, or slowing to make a left turn in traffic. This is very dangerous when turning left and traffic headed toward you. The car dies instantly. It has always re-started so far. I now have 80,000 miles on the car, and I am afraid to drive on long trips. Try to stay no farther away than about 100 miles. I have searched all sorts of forums as well as your site and there are many, many others with this problem. In fact my niece in missouri has one that has started doing it also. I have called cadilliac consumer complaint department twice in last 30 days, and they blow me off. They say we can not beleive what we read on the internet. . Wow, why would people sit around wasting time making up stories?? I know mine and my niece's are very real. Please help and thank you.
