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.

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.
