Consumer Description

CONNECTOR UNDER FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MELTED DUE TO SOME SORT OF HIGH CURRENT PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE CADILLAC FORUM, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. SEE HTTP://WWW.CADILLACFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/CADILLAC-DTS-FORUM-2006-THROUGH-2012/285451-HEATED-SEATS-PARKING-SENSORS-STOPPED-WORKING.HTML#POST3288711 I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE AS THE MODULE IS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. CONNECTOR PART 15326110 WAS REPLACED. THIS MELTED CONNECTOR PROBLEM CAUSES (1) HEATED SEATS TO STOP OPERATING, (2) FRONT & REAR PARKING ASSIST TO STOP OPERATING, AND (3) AC THERMOSTAT TO OPERATE UNPREDICTABLY, E.G., HEATER WILL WARM CAR UP TO SET TEMPERATURE, E.G., 72 DEGREES, THEN THE AC WILL KICK ON TO COOL THE CAR...NOT DESIRABLE ON A COLD WINTER DAY. *TR
