NHTSA Complaint #10730577 — 2006 CADILLAC CTS

I TOOK MY WIFE TO GET A HAIR CUT ON SATURDAY JUN 20TH; WHEN SHE WAS DONE A COUPLE HOURS LATER WE RETURNED TO THE CAR AND NOTICE IT WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. I DIDN'T SEE ANY FIRE BUT COULD SMELL SOMETHING WAS MELTING, I UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY FIGURING THAT IT MAY BE ELECTRICAL RELATED. I OPENED ALL THE DOORS TO LET THE SMOKE OUT ONCE THE SMOKED CLEARED I PLUGGED THE BATTERY BACK IN AND DROVE IT TO MURDOCKS CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE MECHANICS TAKE A LOOK. THEY FOUND THAT THE MOTOR THAT CONTROLS THE FORWARD MOVEMENT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD FAILED OR SHORTED AND MELTED. I AM NOT SURE IF THE MECHANIC REPORTED THE INCIDENT SO I AM FILLING OUT THIS FORM. ..UPDATED 08/31/15 *BF
