Cadillac Xts 2013 Equipment Review #10466540

CADILLAC XTS 2013 car safety problem was reported on July 19, 2012.CADILLAC XTS 2013, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . the new cadillac touch-screen interface is a horrible safety issue. why does no one at cadillac remember how important ergonomics are for safety, and how almost everything in the car must be operable by feel, allowing the driver to keep his eyes on the road? touch-screen offers no tactile feedback. it demands that the driver take his eyes off the road. advertising campaigns about how bad texting-while-driving is are now common. and now a car company, cadillac, no less, comes out with an interface that requires the car be operated by "texting". totally unbelievable! how many people involved here, including the folks who designed and executed the advertising, were "asleep at the wheel"? and this from a "leading" car company!?!?! it is time to recall all cars that have been built with a touch-screen interface and replace those interfaces with a properly designed tactile interface. i am definitely against the litigiousness of our society, but the first time someone crashes because they are foolishly interacting with your ridiculous touch-screen interface, i hope some lawyer sues cadillac (and individually every person at cadillac working on or responsible for this atrocity of an interface) off the face of the earth. also, anyone who buys one of these cars should be somewhat liable for any damage they cause for choosing to buy and operate a "texting" interface car. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1 miles.

Cadillac Xts 2013 Air Bags

Cadillac Xts 2013 Air Bags Review #10497591

CADILLAC XTS 2013 car safety problem was reported on Dec 06, 2012.CADILLAC XTS 2013, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . passenger side airbag will not activate. she weighs 115 lbs, is 5'1". she sits on 3 inch memory foam cushion for back for eight years, no structure, only foam. in eight years she has used cushion, we have owned 5 cars and have rented over 40 cars and she has never had a problem with the passenger airbag activation. cadillac says the system is ok. i asked to try on another xts and it still did not activate. this is a design problem. i understand that some cushions might interfere with the airbag system, but this thin cushion does not. i should say it works in corvettes and worked in the loaner 2013 cts cadillac. the seat in the xts is a new design and i believe it is defective. the seat is not flat and requires a much heavier person to activate the airbag. i believe this is unsafe. the safety issue is that many older people, such as would purchase a cadillac, do use cushions and will either not be aware of or will ignore the fact that the passenger airbag will not work. i returned my cadillac (and lost $14,000) as i had to choose between my wife or the car. i purchased a lexus ls460 and the airbag worked perfectly with her cushion. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35 miles.

Cadillac Xts 2013 Electrical System Review #10615833

CADILLAC XTS 2013 car safety problem was reported on July 17, 2014.CADILLAC XTS 2013, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . in light of the recent gm's recall for faulty ignition switches, these car have a problem too! it is way to easy to accidently shut the car off by touching the stop start button on the dash. we did this at a stop light and had to put the car in park and step on the break to restart it. i later tested what would happen while the car was moving at 35 mph if the stop/start button was hit. the car shut off and there were no power breaks or power steering. i imagine the air bags wouldn't work either. to restart the car, it needs to be in park or neutral with the break applied. if this happens at freeway speeds in traffic, the car would be difficult to maneuver to the side of the road without power steering. people might wind up in the middle of the road stopped too. isn't this the same symptoms of the recalled gm ignition switches? by the way, this isn't the only car on the road with an exposed start/stop button. thank you.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 18000 miles.
