This automobile has an oil leak that could cause a fire and General Motors are repairing vehicles, but will not make a recall. These automobiles are Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Buick models dating back to 1993 through 2008. A bulletin # 03-06-01-027 dated May 1, 2008 verified GM's knowledge of the problem. There is a faulty design between the motor and oil pan in these automobiles to cause them to leak so soon. Please investigate this matter. Updated 03/10/11

I have a periodic persistent stalling problem with my 2006 Cadillac Dts that the dealer has been unable to resolve from about 60,000 miles. The car sometimes just stalls out while at a red light or a stop. This is a dangerous situation with my 2006 Cadillac Dts. The dealer has been unable to resolve this issue since it began at about 60,000 miles. Is this an unsafe manufacturer defect in these cars?
