Uh oh, we've riled the sleeping giant....

did you read this at the top of every Chrysler bulletin:

"This bulletin is supplied as technical information only and is not an authorization for repair. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retreival system,
or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, or otherwise, without written permission of DaimlerChrysler Corporation."

Hmmm.. its just a matter of time... I have had TSBs up for a long time now... they just asked me to take them down...

Give it time CVP..

2004CTSV, you should know better than to poke a hibernating bear (CVP33)... we only let him around here cause he doesnt say much unless we make a crack about a Dodge err... chrysler. HAHAH

I only chime in when people start justifying their failing vehicles. Oh, I guess I shouldn't have driven it so hard. Oh, I guess all new models have glitches. Quit explaining away mechanical and engineering failures and DO SOMETHING! I did, and I've NEVER been happier.

For 24.95 you can subscribe to 1 year of TSBs for only years 2004 or 2005 on http://www.alldata.com/products/diy/. I don't see anything in 2006 though. Hopefully this helps the pain some.

Amazing, another company can profit off them but GM won't let Cadillacfaq post them for free. Great car but GM still doesn't get why Americans are buying more Jap and German luxury cars.

Its about the OWNERSHIP experience, the dealers can make it or break it.

That's okay Chris, we'll give you love no matter what. We expect the prodigal son to come home some day

Much love felt. I reserve my hatred for a corporation and it's treatment of it's owner/enthusiasts. I don't "hate" people and certainly not forum members. Car guys are good guys.

[ctsvett]

damn, and here I thought you hated me.. HAHAHA

Sometimes I agree with your hatred of said corporation's policies, other times I drive around in my V and thank the lord they exist cause I wouldnt want to drive anything else.

Not you Reed. You walk the talk in my book. If you ever venture to my neck of the woods, I'd buy you a beer in a heartbeat! I do miss flogging my V and the SRT-8 will never satisfy every desire, nor did the V. I hope the next gen' V rocks.

Well this is a bunch of shit to say the least. GM decides to dump on the most die hard fans and supporters they have. I am a HUGE Cadillac fan and planned on driving Cadillac for my entire life.... but now I doubt it. Its so disgusting how corporations run these days. These are documents that could potentially save a life and here they are denying us access to them for fear it will cost them money.

Thats exactly what theyre doing too! The only reason they are doing this is because it could potentially cost them money! PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

During the summer I had a problem with my AC. The car went to my dealer several times and they could never figure the problem. No matter how many times I took it in the couldnt get it fixed. Finally I brought in a TSB from Reed's site and bing bang, it fixed the problem. How many trips did the FAQ save me with that TSB? How much money did it save GM by them not having to keep on replacing parts and slaving over my car?? My dealer had ZERO knowledge of the TSB I brought in for them.

This crap just makes me want to blow my diff and scratch my nav every 10000 miles just so those bastards have to keep dumping money into my car. Everytime a part is replaced that replaced part gets a new 12000 mile warranty.

The best way we need to handle this is to spread the word as widely as humanly possible. We need to post something about this on every site any of us visit. We need to find a way to get it into the mainstream media. People need to know that GM puts MONEY over their customers lives and safety!! Im sure alot of people would like to hear about this.

Lastly, I would like to thank you for all work on this whole thing Reed. You are a true assett to this site and community. If you ever need donations or anything please let us know as I would damn sure be willing to make one.

Thanks again Reed! Let me know how I can help.

[ctsvett]

thanks for the comments..

I am hoping that lots of people fill in the form on the FAQ: http://www.cadillacfaq.com/gmlegal.html

so I can present them to GM (anonymously) and they can see what this has done to their customers. Plain an simple. I have recevied lots of those submissions already and I am encouraged that when they read these responses from THEIR customers, they may think twice.

Reed,
I saw on another site a sticky listing the date of the TSB, the subject/item of the bulletin, and company internal memo number. This would not be as good as having the actual bulletin, but it is better than nothing.

[d-dash]

I can see this being fixed in only two ways. Either gm requires training for all of the technicians all over the country every month to update them and test them on thier knowledge of repairs needing ot be made to some of their vehicles, or let the tsb's be posted for free. plain and simple.
So will it cost gm more to require this training or have a few extra people getting repairs than they would have by removing the tsb's from reeds site.

[Kadonny]

Filling it out now Reed. Thanks for all your hard work.
