general problems of the 2006 Cadillac DTS

The service stabilitrak and service traction control error message come on periodically and when on the car seems to run rough. Message shuts off then could hit a bump and comes on again. You never know when it is going to come on and when on it shuts off the traction control and could be dangerous.

Today I had the gm recall 14299 performed on my Cadillac Dts at my local Cadillac dealership. The repair took about 1 hour and the car was returned to me with the instructions from the dealership that one key had a "clamp" on it and if I removed the "clamp" and the new key insert did not stay in place that they would need to "figure something out". I waited an hour for the glue to dry and attempted to remove the "clamp" and the insert was adhered to the clamp as it appeared residual glue had stuck to the face of the insert and the underneath slide of the clamp. I then went to put a key chain on my gm valet key and the insert popped out of place on that key as well. I have not yet contacted the gm dealership, but this recall repair is very troubling as it does not appear that this repair will have the longevity needed to stay in place and protect the consumer. I have photos of the keys if needed.

Why is the auburn, al Cadillac dealership (lynch) not receiving replacement parts for the gm recall 1499. I have inquired about having my car serviced for this recall. They stated that "they only receive a few repair kits at a time" and at the time of my inquiry "they did not have any more kits. ".

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.

High amperage connectors controlling driver and passenger heated and cooled seats shorted at module under passenger seat inside passenger compartment. Car filled with smoke and I had to search and pull the fuse under the rear seat cushion for the wire that shorted under front passenger seat. Trolling forums yielded very quick results with many that had same issue. The module and associated wiring should be recalled by gm (not to mention the stealership charges well over 1,200 for the part alone).

In regards heated / cooled seat inoperative - keywords climate control cool cooled driver front heat heated inoperative intermittent left module passenger right - (Mar 18, 2008) subject:heated/ cooled seat inoperative models:2006- 2008 Buick lucerne w/ rpo kb6 2006- 2008 Cadillac Dts w/ rpo kb6 I had my heated/cooled seat module replaced in August 2013. Through the winter my heated seats worked fine. Today I turn on my seat heaters only to hear a clicking noise coming from under the passenger seat followed by puffs of white smoke. I quickly turned the car off and disconnected the battery. Upon visual inspection of the area where the smoke came from. I found the module melted to the connector so much so I had to remove the relay for the seat module. This fire could have grown dangerous very quickly. I know a number of fellow Cadillac/Buick owners that this has happened to. If gm does not resolve this issue with a recall there will likely be legal action taken.

I was driving down the highway at 65 mph and suddenly I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye over my head followed by a tremendous "boom" above me. The sunroof then disintegrated into many sharp shards and rained around the driver and passenger getting into the shifting mechanism, electric seats, seatbelt connectors and all over the passengers. There was no impact and the sunroof blew up and outwards from the inside of the car.

The contact owns a 2006 Cadillac Dts. The vehicle was parked when the contact observed that the support arm which secured the hood in an upright position failed to function. An authorized dealer was notified of the malfunction. The technician stated that the failure occurred extremely early at relatively low mileage, and stated that the part would be replaced. The failure and current mileages were 44,000.

This problem - the car dies and I lose all power assisted functions like steering and brakes - has happened multiple times, probably two dozen, over a period of time beginning some time in 2006, with model years 2000, 2001, and 2006 sedans. Since 1995 I have driven only Cadillac. It occurs only when I'm stopped, or rolling at a slow speed, and then begin to accelerate the car, such as has happened many times when I'm in a non-raised center median attempting a left turn against oncoming traffic (I have learned to left lots of room now). I hope I, or someone else in a Cadillac, won't have to die or be seriously injured before they admit this problem in their flagship vehicle. I called gm's 'ignition switch recall' line and was told that this sounds exactly like the problem in the other vehicles.
