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.
The contact owns a 2003 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated that the ignition switch failed to start the vehicle and the key was hard to remove from the ignition. In addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated upon attempting to start the vehicle, which was a safety concern. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence where an independent mechanic diagnosed that a security module failed and there was a disconnection of the electrical system. The vehicle was then taken to vinings enterprises Inc. (904 N Tennessee St, cartersville, ga 30120, (770) 382-2007), but the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unavailable.
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.
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.

(2) fuel tank pressure sensor 03V238000, (3) driver air bag 03V051000, and the (4) air bag inflator 02V222000. 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!
