| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was standing at the back of the vehicle (cadillac srx) and i leaned against the back bumper with my leg, and burned my leg on the tailpipe. i was standing "flush" with the bumper, and it burned my leg because it sticks out too far (about 1/2 inch too far) from the bumper. this is the second burn that my family has experienced; one month ago my 7 year old son burned his leg on the tailpipe as well. his burn was much worse - it blistered and bled and scabbed over. he was climbing into the back of the vehicle to retrieve an item from the trunk. i believe that cadillac needs to fix the tailpipes on the car by either shortening them by 3/4" or 1 inch, or by extending the bumper somehow. this is a design error, and a safety issue! i want cadillac to take care of this before one of my younger kids, or someone else is burned. cadillac has told me there is nothing that they can do, and i do not find this acceptable! |
