2005 CADILLAC STS Unknown Or Other Problems

WITHOUT WARNING MY TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING . I CAN MOVE THE GREER WITH OUT IT COLLECTING ANY GREER . NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT NOTHING . I PULLED THE PARKING LOT AND HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT STREET .

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY. MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WANTS TO SELL IT.

THE ABOVE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY IN A SHOP FOR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT WHEN MY MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK OF LUBRICANT IN THE REAR END OF THE AUTOMOBILE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR AXLE PINION SEAL WAS LEAKING. THE AUTOMOBILE HAS JUST 60,000 MILES. AFTER CHECKING THE NHTSA HE FOUND THAT A RECALL, GM RECALL NUMBER 07204 HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR THIS MORNING AT MARION CHEVROLET CADILLAC THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL STATING THE VIN DOES NOT MEET THE RECALL RANGE. I FIND IT UNTENABLE THAT GM COULD RECALL NEARLY 300,000 VEHICLES FOR THIS VERY ISSUE BUT REFUSE TO COVER AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM IN A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT MEET THE VIN RANGE SET BY GM. *TR

VEHICLES VOICE RECOGNITION & BLUTOOTH TELEPHONE SYSTEM ARE UNSTABLE/UNUSABLE. VR SYSTEM RECOGNIZES STATED CXOMMANDS APPROX. 10% OF THE TIME.

SERVICING DEALER STATES THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL OWNERS AND THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR FIX ACTIONS AT THIS TIME OR KNOWN. CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IN RESPONSE TO A WRITTEN LETTER INFOMRS THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS BEING A MAJOR CONCERN AND INFERRED IT WAS A "USER" ISSUE IN PROPERLY OPERATING THE SYSTEM. RESEARCH AMONG CADILLAC OWNERS BOARDS SHOWS A LARGE SAMPLE OF OWNERS WITH SIMILIAR/SAME CONCERNS. BLUTOOTH SYSTEM WAS 100% UNREALIABLE WITH A QULAIFYING CELLULAR DEVICE AND COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. WITH A SECOND DEVICE SYSTEM PARTIALLY WORKS BUT USER ALSO EXPERIENCED A SYSTEM "LOCKUP" OF ALL USER FEATURES INCLUDING HARD KETS, TOUCHSCREEN AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN USING...

PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS COMPLAINT # 10120320 DT: CONTACT STATES THE VEHICLE'S VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. IF YOU STATE A COMMAND A MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT WILL EXECUTE A DIFFERENT COMMAND. ONCE A COMMAND HAS BEEN EXECUTED IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE COMMAND. THE MANUFACTURER HAS ISSUED A FILE NUMBER(GM FILE NO. 1322945605) BUT NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM.
