Consumer Description

BATTERY ISSUES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY STATED VEHICLE NEEDED NEW BATTERY SINCE I DONT DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCE. BATTERY REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. 6 MONTHS LATER SAME ISSUE. CAR WONT START BATTERY DEAD. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT SINCE I ONLY DRIVE IT ABOUT 10 MILES A DAY THE VEHICLE DRAINS THE BATTERY BECAUSE OF ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THIS IS A ISSUE I BELIEVE CADILLAC IS AWATE OF AND NNEDS TO FIX. OR WHEN SELLING THE VEHICLE SHOULD OF TOLD ME IF I DONT DRIVE LONG DISTANCE THEN I SHOULD BE THE CAR OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WONT WORK. MY OTHER ISSUE IS THAT ONCE THE CAR IS OFF IF SOMETHING IS DRAININGBTHE BATTERY IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE.
