NHTSA Complaint #10446633 — 2003 CADILLAC CTS

I PURCHASED MY NEW 2003 CTS IN 2002 AT PIKEVILLE, KY. CURRENTLY THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CTS RECALL 10V105000 (GM RECALL NO. 09149) THAT INVOLVES THE FRONT BRAKE HOSES RUPTURING DUE TO ROAD SALT CORROSION. HOWEVER, THE STATE OF KY IS NOT COVERED. WE HAVE ROAD SALT HERE AS WELL. PIKEVILLE IS JUST 20 MILES FROM WV AND IT IS COVERED THERE. MY VIN FALLS WITHIN THE GUIDELINE. IN 2007 BEFORE THE RECALL IT HAPPENED TO ME HERE IN KY AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE A CRASH. SINCE PIKEVILLE IS SO CLOSE TO WV AND MY EMPLOYER IS THERE, I AM IN WV A LOT. I FEEL THAT CADILLAC SHOULD HONOR ME AS WELL!!! HOWEVER, GM REFUSES TO HONOR THE RECALL SINCE I MEET EVERY REQUIREMENT EXCEPT THE STATE. SINCE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND I CRASHED, GM SHOULD REPAIR MY HOSES UNDER THE RECALL. I AM SURE THAT IF I DECIDED TO PURSUE LITIGATION, I WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL NOW THAT GM HAS ADMITTED TO THE PROBLEM. THE SIMPLE FACT THAT I RESIDE IN KY IS THE ONLY REASON THAT I CANNOT REAP THE BENEFITS OF THE RECALL. ROAD SALT IS THE SAME IN KY AS IT IS IN WV. CORROSION IS CORROSION. I HAVE PURCHASED OVER 15 NEW GM VEHICLES DURING MY LIFETIME AND AM A DEDICATED GM OWNER. I CURRENTLY OWN 4 GM VEHICLES. I AM RESPECTFULLY ASKING CADILLAC/GM TO OFFER ME THE RECALL AS WELL SINCE I FALL WITHIN THE VIN RANGE AND MY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO WV. AS A MATTER OF FACT, KY SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL AS ALL THE SURROUNDING STATES ARE ALSO UNDER THE RECALL. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A NEW CAMARO, BUT IF THIS IS GM'S WAY OF TREATING DEDICATED CUSTOMERS - I MAY RETHINK THAT. LET'S SEE....CADILLAC HAS ADMITTED TO THE CORROSION ISSUE - I HAD THE ISSUE AND CRASHED AS A RESULT - WONDER HOW THAT WOULD COME OUT IN FRONT OF A JURY? ALL I ASK FOR IS FOR CADILLAC/GM TO REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKE HOSES UNDER THE RECALL.... *KB
