The front head lights on my 2006 cadillac dts go out at all times. I have to continuously cut out and i have to turn the light switch off and on so i can drive at night. Ii previously owned another 2006 cadillac dts with the same problems. I took the vehicle to a cadillac dealer kristal auto mall in brooklyn, ny and they fix the problem which they said was a faulty ballast. It was faulty on both headlights. And now in the dts i have, it is faulty too. There has been a recall on this same issue in other gm vehicles.

The factory installed optional glass sunroof of 2005 cadillac deville dts spontaneously "exploded" and shattered. Broken glass rained down inside the vehicle and over the back of the vehicle on to the roadway behind while traveling straight over a uncrowded highway at 62 - 63 mph approximately at 6:30 am on 6/2/17. Sunroof was closed. The interior sun shade was open. Exterior temperature was about 60f. Interior temperature was about 75f. The car has approximately 103,500 miles on it. There was no previous damage to sunroof or indications of prior damage to the sunroof. There was no sound of crack like when rock hits the windshield or sound of object hitting the car or sunroof prior to the "bang!" as the sunroof exploded. Traffic was lighton divided highway and were no trucks in ahead, or cars very nearby. It was an utterly uneventful and non-extreme drive in terms of speed, temperatures, traffic volume, or operation. Cruise control was set. The rear edge of glass remaining in the frame appears to be bent upward whether from the explosion or the air pressure after i have no idea. Submitted as a glass claim to my insurance company.
