NHTSA Complaint #11266922 — 2013 CADILLAC XTS

HERE'S AN EXCERPT FROM AN EMAIL I SENT TO MARY BARRA AT GM AND STEVE CARLISLE AT CADILLAC... THIS PARTICULAR CADILLAC HAS A PROBLEM. YOU'VE KNOWN ABOUT IT EVER SINCE 2014 AND HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO AVOID OWNING AND FIXING IT. I'M REFERRING TO THE TOUCH SCREEN ON (ALMOST) ALL OF YOUR CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2013 THROUGH 2018. NOT ONLY DOES THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM NO LONGER WORK BUT CADILLAC OWNERS CAN'T ACCESS THE RADIO, HEAT/COOL CONTROLS, FAN CONTROL, DEFROST SETTINGS, ETC. THIS BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO TRY ALTERNATIVE MEASURES. I CAN'T EVEN USE THE CAR'S PHONE ICON IN EMERGENCIES. FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN. THE MESSAGE YOU'RE SENDING TO CURRENT AND FUTURE USED CADILLAC OWNERS IS NOT IN YOUR BEST FUTURE BUSINESS INTERESTS. YOU'RE ALSO PUTTING ALL CADILLAC OWNERS IN JEOPARDY. IF THE CADILLAC NAME AND REPUTATION DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU THEN WHY SHOULD I, AGAIN, BUY A CADILLAC FOR MY NEXT CAR. YOU'RE KILLING AN AMERICAN ICON.
