I have several receipts from the vehicle being serviced because of the faulty windshield washer heater system that was supposed to be disabled caused an electrical short in the vehicle because it was not properly sealed water got in the wires and caused the computer to be fried this happened before the car still only has 67,000 miles and they won’t even take it in. The car stopped in the middle of the road almost killing everybody. I’ve had several technicians explain that it’s because of the faulty. Recall that they did not fix that is still exposed. Maybe they had a worker that was fired in 2017. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle Purchase Statement – Top Tier Auto I, [XXX] , purchased a vehicle from Top Tier Auto on [XXX]. The vehicle details are as follows: VIN: [XXX] Warranty: 30-day coverage for the transmission and engine After owning the vehicle for only 15 minutes, I entered the freeway, and the car began to shake violently. Shortly after, a gentleman driving behind me alerted me that sparks and fire were falling from beneath the car. I immediately pulled over, just before the engine burst into flames. The Columbus Police Department responded to the scene and had to extinguish the fire. This incident occurred within minutes of purchasing the vehicle, despite the supposed 30-day warranty covering the transmission and engine.

Ever since I purchased this 2008 CTS vehicle, I have dumped thousands of dollars to repair the vehicle even after the "recall repairs". Problems persist and the car has become more dangerous than ever. The vehicle had inspected by the dealership a number of times the first 5 years of ownership the first 3, listed below, were the replaced recalls from dealership, the rest are known safety issues that gm denies to admit to faults and recalls. *Ignition starter replacement (still have starter failure issues after 2 repairs from gm) *washer fluid warmer removal (they just snipped the wires and removed the component but left hot wires exposed in vehicle) *motherboard ecm replacement recall(ecm is still faulty and has caused dozens of electrical issues. **************** battery drains over night. On my 6th battery (just bought new one 3 days ago) gauge cluster never recalibrated and is completely disabled. Don't know how fast im going how much gas or any other info related to. sunroof constantly leaking, flooding vehicle and destroying the electrical components which fried many relays including the door lock and power window components vehicle refuses to turn but cranks on fuel often will not allow a fill up ecm throwing irrelevant codes headlight failure due to seal defect that allows moisture into headlight casing frequent oil loss. 2018: vehicle engine failure whilst driving on freeway with zero warning nearly causing a fatal crash. Purchased new alternator (Shade tree auto in san Clemente) and had to pay 2000 for tow and alternator transmission failure and near miss collision into another vehicle on a steep incline road I have taken this vehicle to a multitude of repair shops and auto supply to get a diagnosis. Even the dealership didn't have any answers. Now I am out of a car. and money. These issues had been confirmed by Rorick Cadillac, Shade tree auto, oreily, s and s auto, auto zone.

I was pulled over by the Police because my 2008 Cadillac CTS license plate lights were not working and my rear brake lights were not working. These light failures were caused by a known design flaw with the wiring harness in the trunk lid near the right trunk lid hinge in where the wires inside the harness that go to the brake lights break in half after repeated opening and closing of the trunk lid because of the poor design of the wiring harness and it’s mounting brackets. There should have been a safety recall from GM as I could have been killed if a car in back of me did not stop because my brake lights were not going on when I would step on my cars brake peddle! Now the car dealership service center wants to charge me $335.00 to replace the broken wires that were caused by GM/Cadillac’s poor and unsafe design of this wiring harness.

WHILE DRIVING MAYBE 6 MINUTES MY CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE RADIO OR AIR, WHICH BOTH REMAINED FUNCTIONING AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE RADIO NO LONGER PLAYS BUT THE AIR STILL BLOWS. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD AT NIGHT GOING APPROX. 50 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC CTS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND THE CONTROL PANEL BECAME INOPERATIVE. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. KUNI CHEVROLET CADILLAC (2449 FULTON AVENUE, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95825, (916) 538-7217) DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP DUE TO ENGINE ISSUES, NOW THAT ENGINE IS REPLACED I'M SEEING STABILITRAK, SERVICE AC, AND BRAKE ASSIST LIGHTS APPEAR. ALSO WHEN DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT ENGAGED AND CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS. CODES WILL NOT APPEAR WHEN HOOKED UP TO DIAGNOSTIC READER AND THEIR IS MOISTURE THAT GETS INSIDE MY CAR THROUGH THE SUNROOF.

MY CAR WON'T HOLD A CHARGE. I BUY A NEW BATTERY AND THE CAR SAYS BATTERY SAVER MODE ACTIVATED. THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD BY MORNING OR IF I TAKE IT DOWN THE ROAD THE VOLTAGE WILL START DROPPING BEFORE I GET HOME. WHEN I SAY DOWN THE ROAD I MEAN LESS THEN A 2 MILES. AFTER I TURN MY CAR OFF IT WON'T START BECAUSE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WILL BE TO LOW. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK BOTH ARE FINE. CHECKED TO SEE IF THEIR MIGHT BE LIGHTS LEFT ON, BUT NOPE NOT EVEN THE TRUCK LIGHT. SO I'M AT MY END WITH THE CAR, IT'S A $30,000 CAR THAT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A YARD ORNAMENT.
