This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Air bag on the steering wheel has oozing glue that oozed/leaked out of the airbag and has hardened on outer cover! Lights and radio don-??t disconnect or turn off when car is turned off and drain battery.
Left headlight fills with water during a rainstorm or car wash. Headlamp is foggy with moisture reducing the light output and will cause a premature headlamp failure.
My Cadillac Sts left front light seal leaks water into it and now the headlight won't come on. This was notice upon purchasing the vehicle and was told it was a manufactures problem. Now my head lamp only works on brights.
The headlights have a major fogging issue which leads to impaired visibility both for the driver of the car and for other drivers on the road. This issue is being reported in Sts and cts Cadillac forums at least as far back as 2008. I believe this is a defect in either the design or manufacturing of these components.
#1 the above mentioned vehicle was purchased in Chicago on December 22, 2009. The odometer read 29,832 miles. When the car was driven back to Maryland, a Maryland vehicle inspection was required. The headlights failed the inspection. #2 over the past two years, condensation built up inside both the headlights. In the past month, I noticed there was one inch of water in the driver side headlight. The water has now shorted out the light. I believe this problem is a defect and I have read similar complaints on car forums on the internet. Cadillac will not cover the cost of the repair because the car now has 63,000 miles. I am on a fixed income and cannot afford the cost of the repair which Cadillac quoted @ $1250.
