| Defect Summary | Gm is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 buick, lucerne; cadillac dts; hummer h2; model year 2008-2009 buick enclave; cadillac cts; model year 2007-2009 cadillac escalade, escalade esv, escalade ext; chevrolet avalanche, silverado, suburban, tahoe; gmc acadia, sierra, yukon, yukon xl; saturn outlook; and model year 2009 chevrolet traverse vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid system (hwfs). a recall was implemented in 2008 to add a fuse to the control circuit harness to address the potential consequences of a printed circuit board (pcb) electrical short. however, there have been new reports of thermal incidents on hwfs modules after this improvement was installed. these incidents resulted from a new failure mode attributed to the device's thermal protection feature. the significance varies from minor distortion to considerable melting of the plastic around the hwfs fluid chamber. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | It is possible for the heated washer module to ignite and a fire may occur. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid module. an updated page for the owner manual will be provided and inserted in the owner manual to document that the feature has been permanently disabled and removed from the vehicle. the safety recall is expected to begin on or before june 11, 2010. owners may contact buick at 1-866-608-8080, cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, saturn at 1-800-972-8876, gmc at 1-866-996-9463 and hummer at 1-800-732-5493 or at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com. | |||||||||||||||

| This 2006 cadillac dts was purchased used in november of 2011. at the time of purchase the vehicle only had 30,743 miles, was lightly used and never involved in any accidents. the vehicle currently has approximately 69,000 miles. a couple of months ago, i noticed the right side hid headlight flickering and going out while driving. thinking it was a bulb, i spoke to the dealer by phone who advised it may be a bulb, ballast or loose connection. from research and dealer conversation, i learned it was a costly and time consuming repair just to replace the bulb, due to design issues requiring removal of the entire bumper cover just to access the headlight. i took it to the dealer for repair, but was told that they could not duplicate the problem. since then, the flickering has gotten worse, now affecting both headlights. they randomly flicker off and on while driving proving to be a distraction to me, as well as drivers of other vehicles. it is also a safety issue as there is no warning when they are going to go out. a search of this issue via google reveals this is not an isolated instance with my vehicle, but in fact, is very widespread with many documented cases mirroring my situation. cadillac / gm to my knowledge has not offered any relief to an issue that is obviously a defect. per the dealer, repair of the ballast could be well over $1000. however, reviewing other's experience, there has been little success in finding or repairing the issue. cadillac is supposed to be a flagship for gm and a premium automobile. i would think reliable, safe and functional headlights would be a minimum threshold for safety. i ask your assistance in reviewing the documented issues from many frustrated cadillac owners who experience the same issues that i am having and exert some pressure on gm / cadillac to rectify this known issue. *tr | |||

| 07/01/2010 | 90000 | ||
| Headlight failure began at approximately 90,000 miles. initially, it started with the interior instrument panel light growing dim and then bright at any given time. then, headlights started doing the same thing. soon thereafter, the right headlight started going out on a regular basis. it would initally flicker, then go totally out. after a few months, the left headlight started doing it. recently, about 18 months after the first incident, they both go out at the same time! during an 80 mile trip i make on a regular basis, at least twice a week, my headlights will go out between 8 and 20 times! i can get them back on by jiggling the on/off light switch. but, one or both will turn back off within a matter of a few minutes. i try to drive during daylight hours as much as possible, but this trip is usually just before dawn or after dusk. i have called the dealer where i purchased the car, and have been told they've not heard of this problem. i don't believe that... all they have to do is talk to other cadillac owners, as i have; or look on the internet. this has to be a widespread problem! in checking with another dealer, they told me it was a ballast problem, and would be between $1400 and $1800 to repair. this is a $7000 car. for cadillac to expect me to pay 20% plus of the car's value to have headlights that work, is way out of line. i purchased this car new at a cost of $44,000. i expect to have headlights that work!! this is a safety issue and cadillac should be responsible for providing a fix! | |||

| The right headlight started going on and off for no reason. it might go off while driving or sitting still. it might come back on in a few minutes or stay off for a full evening. sometimes turning lights from automatic to manual will make it work, but not always. it has been doing this since july 2010, or for about 33,000 miles. it is dangerous when driving, plus i have been pulled over by police and so far i have been able to convince them the light had just gone out that evening. now i have to limit my night driving near home, as i do not want the same officer to stop me. i have read many forums plus your site, and i see many, many people with the same problem. i have called the cadillac consumer complaint department and they just say they have never heard of such a problem. i told them to check the internet. today, i called the dealer that i bought it from, out of state, 15 months ago. i explained it and he said he has been selling them for 20 years and has never heard of such a problem. i told him to check the internet. i also asked him to try and get me a number for the cadillac area rep, so i can talk to him. please help before i get a ticket or worse yet hit while turning left at night. thank you | |||
