I tried to explain to the dealership that unaware of the recall my cars breaks had failed and crashed my vehicle. They said the only thing that was affected was the key. I had told her that the result of my crash was from my breaks not working due to the recall. She told me no that that wasnt affected. I just want my car to be safe on the road as i have kids, and family that ride with me regularly.

IGNITION RECALL: ON 12 MARCH 2015 I TOOK MY 2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE INTO VALLEY CADILLAC ROCHESTER, NY AS PART OF THE GM IGNITION RECALL. PRIOR TO THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE SERVICED, I HIT A POT HOLE ON THE CITY STREET AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING. LAST WEEK I WAS TURNING A CORNER AFTER COMING OFF THE FREEWAY OFF RAMP TURNING ON TO A CITY STREET AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED AGAIN AND EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. THE RECALL FIX DID NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I AM CALLING VALLEY CADILLAC FIRST THING MONDAY TO GET IT SERVICED AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO POWER FOR BRAKES, STEERING OR LIGHTS. I HAD RECALL FOR KEY ROTATION COMPLETED LAST WEEK BUT MY CAR TURNED OFF LAST NIGHT WHILE DOING 70 ON INTERSTATE. THE MOSSY OF PICAYUNE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE RECALL MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE BUT FROM WHAT I READ BEFORE TAKING CAR IN...THE PROBLEM WITH KEY ROTATION CAUSES CAR TO TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED TO PREVENT BODILY HARM TO MYSELF AND POSSIBLY OTHERS. THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNING OFF PRIOR TO THE RECALL.

DURING A RECORDED PHONE CONVERSATION AN AGENT AND A MANAGER AT/FROM (GM) GENERAL MOTORS STATED THAT THEY DO NO HONOR ANY RECALLS FROM SAFERCAR.GOV/NHTSA OR ANY OTHER WEB-SITE AS THEY ARE "NOT VALID" BUT THEIR OWN @GM.COM. THESE ARE SERIOUS RECALLS THAT REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND VALIDATION BY GM BEFORE THEY ARE SUED FOR MUCH MORE THAN SIMPLE REPAIRS! I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! BLESSINGS!

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ABOUT ONE MONTH, THE ENGINE DIED AND ELECTRIC POWER WENT OUT (DASHBOARD LIGHTS). THE CAR RESTARTED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PUT IT INTO PARK. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT I CAREFULLY CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE BATTERY IS ALMOST NEW. AFTER GETTING THE RECALL NOTICE I CHECKED THE OPERATION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND I FOUND THAT THE DETENT WORKS PERFECTLY. I HAD TURN THE KEY CCW BY A LARGE AMOUNT TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND NO AMOUNT OF JIGGLING WOULD CAUSE THE FAULT. TWO DIFFERENT KEYS WERE INVOLVED IN THE TWO EPISODES. THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY THAT MY FAILURES ARE RELATED TO WEIGHT HANGING ON THE KEY.EVEN SO I ASKED THE LOCAL DEALER AS WELL AS THE GM HOTLINE WHEN THEY CAN INSTALL THE "FIXES" AND I WAS TOLD THAT NO PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR MONTHS. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO A PERSON ON THE GM HOTLINE PROMISED TO FIND A DEALER WITH PARTS AND CALL ME BACK BUT DID NOT DO SO. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT GM WILL SOLVE MY PROBLEM WITH THEIR RECALL FIX, IF AND WHEN IT IS EXECUTED, AND FEAR THAT THERE IS ANOTHER COMMON CAUSE FOR THE MANY FAILURES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED.
