TL*- THE CONTACT CALLED TO REPORT THAT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF AND RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR INTERNAL FLUID LEAKS IN THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (RECALL # 00V114000). THE CONTACT CALLED AN AUTHORIZED DEALER LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CAR HAS ALSO STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT 50 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OF TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAS OCCURRED OVER 10 TIMES.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S TIRES SPLIT ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON ALL FOUR OCCASIONS, THE TIRE THAT SPLIT WAS THE SAME SIZE AND MADE BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER. THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR TIRE SPLITS SINCE 33000 AND 68000 MILES AND THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE DEFECTIVE.

THIS TO REPORT A NON-CRASH INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IS A 2000 CADILLAC DEVILLE, DTS. THE BACK SEAT RESTRAINT SYSTEM HAS BEEN USED WITH A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS ONLY. OTHER THAN THAT, IT HAS SEEN LITTLE USE AT ALL. THIS SUMMER THE RETRACTOR QUIT WORKING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL SLIDING DEVICE BROKE IN HALF. I REPORTED THIS TO THE CADILLAC DEALER. HE REFUSED TO SERVICE THE RESTRAINT BELT SYSTEM AS A WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ONLY BEEN USED FOR 2 YEARS AND APX. 12,000 MILES. I WAS SHOCKED AND TOLD HIM I WOULD REPORT THIS. HE SAID GO AHEAD. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FAILED COMPONENTS I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE. PLEASE ADVISE HOW TO DO THAT.

PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE WHEN CAR IS PUT INTO DRIVE. OCCURS ABOUT 95% OF THE TIME AND IT IS NECESSARY TO RELEASE MANUALLY. WHEN USING THE MANUAL RELEASE, THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL COMES UP FAST AND INJURES HAND. HAD THE BRAKE RATCHET ASSEMBLY REPLACED ONCE BY DEALER. SIX MONTH LATER, THE PROBLEM IS BACK. *JB

JACKING UP A 2000 CADILLAC DEVILLE AND THE VERY FLIMSY JACK FAILED AND THE CAR COME DOWN WITH MY ARM BETWEEN THE WHEEL WELL AND THE TIRE AS I REPLACED THE FLAT TIRE. DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF JACK SIMPLY TO SAVE MONEY ON A PART RARELY USED. *JB
