I UNDERSTAND FROM MY MECHANIC THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CASES OF CRACKED TRANSMISSION CASES, WHICH ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. I WOULD HAVE HOPED THAT CADILLAC WOULD PAY FOR THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS REPAIR, SINCE IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATILITY. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS IS ACTED UPON? *AK
