WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING, A LARGE PLASTIC PIECE DETACHED FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND DRAGGED ON THE GROUND. AS A RESULT, HE HAD TO TEAR THE PIECE OFF. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT ENGINE SPLASH SHIELD DETACHES OFTEN AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20,000.
THE PLASTIC UNDERCARRIAGE COVER BEGAN DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. I PLACED DUCK TAPE ON IT IN ORDER TO GET IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REMOVED THE TAPE AND REFASTENED ONE OF THE PLASTIC BOLTS AND SAID IT HAD BEEN HIT WITH SOMETHING SO THE WARRENTLY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. BEFORE I GOT HOME IT WAS DRAGGING AGAIN. PART OF IT HAD TO BE CUT OFF BECAUSE IT WAS SO TORN UP AND MANY OF THE BOLTS WERE LOST. WE ULTIMATELY HAD TO WIRE IT ON TO HOLD IT UP.
2006 CADILLAC DTS-L3, SUN REFLECTS INTO THE CHROME BEZEL SURROUNDING THE ANALOG JEWEL CLOCK. *KB THE CLOCK IS MOUNTED AT AN ANGLE OF APPROX 45 DEGREES. DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY AND THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL THE CLOCK ACTS LIKE A MIRROR AND REFLECTS THE BRIGHT SUN FROM THE GLASS AND CHROME INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES. DARK SUNGLASSES PROVIDED LITTLE, IF ANY, RELIEF FROM THE GLARE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO TAPE A PIECE OF CLOTH OVER THE CLOCK TO GET SOME RELIEF. *NM
