NHTSA Complaint #10626283 — 2008 CADILLAC DTS

RECEIVED NOTICE OF GM RECALL 14299 ON 8/18/14. FURIOUS THAT THE PARTS TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM ARE SAID TO BE UNAVAILABLE AND NO DATE - OR EVEN AN EXPECTED DATE - FOR THEIR AVAILABILITY IS GIVEN IN THE LETTER RECEIVED. GM HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM LITERALLY FOR YEARS NOW AND I DON'T APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE REMEDY OR AN ANTICIPATED DATE FOR ITS RESOLUTION. TOTALLY UNCONSCIONABLE! MEANWHILE, OWNERS ARE EXPECTED TO USE ONLY THEIR IGNITION KEY (NO OTHER IMPLEMENTS ARE TO BE ON THE KEY RING - SUCH AS THOSE FOR SELF-DEFENSE OR CONVENIENCE) TO OBVIATE GM'S SAFETY LAPSE FOR AN UNDETERMINED LENGTH OF TIME THAT WILL BE AT THE CONVENIENCE OF GM, NOT THEIR CUSTOMERS. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE THERE HAS BEEN MEDIA COVERAGE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR YEARS, WHY AM I ONLY NOW RECEIVING NOTICE THAT MY CAR IS INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL? *TR
