| 2005 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC CTS WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN 2004. HE HEARD A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE FOR EIGHT MONTHS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, HE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE FOUND THE ROTORS HAD GROUND INTO THE BRAKES AND PADS WHICH CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST HIM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000. |
| 2010 | STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE | I USED THE REMOTE TO OPEN THE POWER LIFTGATE. I LEANED INTO THE BACK OF THE WAGON TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING, AND THE LIFTGATE CRASHED DOWN ONTO MY BACK. IT LIFTED BACK UP, AND THEN CRASHED DOWN AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, AND THE PROCESS WAS REPEATED UNTIL I MANUALLY SLAMMED THE LIFTGATE CLOSED. I OPENED IT AGAIN WITH THE REMOTE, AND THE SAME PROCESS OCCURRED. I CHANGED THE SETTING OF THE LIFTGATE TO MANUAL AND LIFTED IT MYSELF, AND AGAIN IT CRASHED DOWN. IT BRUISED MY BACK AND SHOULDER, BUT COULD HAVE DONE GRIEVOUS HARM TO SOMEONE ELSE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. *TR |
