WE (ELMORE SIMS) ARE THE OWNERS OF A 2004 CADILLAC DEVILLE SINCE MAY 2007. WE HAVE OWNED VARIOUS MODELS OF CADILLACS FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS, AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE NAME "CADILLAC'S" DENOTES QUALITY. HOWEVER, OUR LATEST PURCHASE WITH THIS THREE (3) YEAR OLD VEHICLE IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, HAS CAUSED US GREAT REPAIRS AND EXPENSES AND LOSS OF CONFIDENCE IN THE NAME CADILLAC'S. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS WITH THE FAN MOTOR FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING, WHICH COST $240. THE NEXT MAJOR REPAIR WAS THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH COST $600. THE BRAKES ARE NEXT, BUT THAT IS EXPECTED FROM A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE OTHER CADILLAC'S WE HAD WERE ALSO USED VEHICLES AND NEVER REQUIRED MAJOR REPA

I WAS STANDING AT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE (CADILLAC SRX) AND I LEANED AGAINST THE BACK BUMPER WITH MY LEG, AND BURNED MY LEG ON THE TAILPIPE. I WAS STANDING "FLUSH" WITH THE BUMPER, AND IT BURNED MY LEG BECAUSE IT STICKS OUT TOO FAR (ABOUT 1/2 INCH TOO FAR) FROM THE BUMPER. THIS IS THE SECOND BURN THAT MY FAMILY HAS EXPERIENCED; ONE MONTH AGO MY 7 YEAR OLD SON BURNED HIS LEG ON THE TAILPIPE AS WELL. HIS BURN WAS MUCH WORSE - IT BLISTERED AND BLED AND SCABBED OVER. HE WAS CLIMBING INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE TO RETRIEVE AN ITEM FROM THE TRUNK. I BELIEVE THAT CADILLAC NEEDS TO FIX THE TAILPIPES ON THE CAR BY EITHER SHORTENING THEM BY 3/4" OR 1 INCH, OR BY EXTENDING THE BUMPER SOMEHOW.
