What Happened
The roof and pillar system in your vehicle has a component called the sunroof, which is controlled by a power-operated system. In certain vehicles, this system may not follow safety regulations, allowing the sunroof to close unexpectedly when the doors are open and the ignition is off.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sunroof closes unexpectedly while the doors are open and the ignition is off, it could cause injury or even death, as per federal safety regulations.
Free Fix
Your Cadillac dealer will install a new wire harness to correct this issue, and this repair is free. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your vehicle meets safety standards.
