2003 cadillac deville with approx. 65,900 miles on 07/11/07. The "service engine soon" warning light appeared on vehicle control panel & took vehicle to dealership same date 07/11/07. Dealer performed oil change & informed that entire transmission is about to fail & quoted $4,027.00 for repairs. Dealer refused to honor warranty past 50,000 miles & informed entire cost was the responsibility of the customer. Gm was contacted & refused to provide any financial or repair assistance for defect and repeatedly delayed any decision until approximately 08/02/07 (after repeated attempts by customer to contact/resolve problem), other than a $1,000.00 customer loyalty certificate to buy a new car on approx 8/02/07. Gm representative called & recorded phone conversation with customer without customer advance knowledge or consent on 8/01/07 & 8/02/07. Customer had gone to dealership (2nd time) & dealer service mgr. Refused to assist in any way (in person) & stated he will not help & stated his displeasure that gm was contacted.

Another issue, "check coolant level light" had been brought to dealership attention (while previously under warranty) & told us to disregard/not worry about it approximately last three times car was in to dealership for oil changes (over approximately six months). Customer was told this is not any safety issue & to disregard "check coolant level light". Issue remains unresolved due to assurance of safety from dealership.
