NHTSA Complaint #11192334 — 2006 CADILLAC DTS

THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT SHUTS OFF AND ON OR FLICKERS - MOST NOTICEABLE DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. OUR DEALER, ED SHULTS CHEVROLET, ADVISED US THAT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF THE CADILLAC CTS WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. WE WANTED AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY WHEN ALL OF THE TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER 2006 CADILLAC OWNERS REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY DEALER STATED IT HAD TO DO WITH WHERE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. THE TOTAL CHARGE TO US WAS $901.80 TO REPLACE THE LIGHT + LABOR. THIS WAS PROBABLY HAPPENING ALL THE TIME WE WERE DRIVING BUT WE ONLY BEGAN TO NOTICE IT DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING, MOST ESPECIALLY DRIVING BACK FROM THE BUFFALO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ON THE THRUWAY. WE LIVE IN THE CITY OF JAMESTOWN, NY SO IT WASN'T REALLY NOTICEABLE BECAUSE OF THE CITY LIGHTS. AFTER THAT, WE WERE MORE DILIGENT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND DISCOVERED0 IT WAS ON A DAILY THING. THAT WAS VERY SCARY.
