Consumer Description

ON APRIL 8 2016 MY WIFE WAS ON THE WAY TO THE BANK AT PEACH AND LIBERTY IN ERIE PA. SHE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN SHE HAD NO TRANSMISSION OR BRAKES. LUCKILY FOR HER THE EMERGENCE BREAK WORKED BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING BACKWARDS. HAD IT TOWED TO ROTH CADILLAC IN ERIE PA. WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE BROKE (THERE WAS NO WARNING) AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT. SO AGAIN MY WIFE CONTACTED CADILLAC HEADQUARTERS AND MY WIFE GOT AN EMAIL FROM CADILLAC HEADQUARTERS SAYING SORRY FOR YOUR PROBLEM BUT WE WILL GIVE YOU ONE HOUR OF DIAGNOSTIC FOR FREE. AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT.
