problem #2

XLR

  • 60,000 miles
The turn signal in the left rear tail lamp assembly which is a sealed led based system is not working. I reached out to Cadillac dealers and the part has been discontinued. This renders the vehicle unsafe as it cannot be legally driven and neither can it be repaired or resold as there is not a substitute part. GM used a supplier called guide corporation, which has went out of business. I believe GM should recover their tools and move them to another supplier in order to resume manufacturing of this key safety component.
