AS A DISABLED VIETNAM MILITARY VETERAN MY 1993 CADILLAC SEDAN DEVILLE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANYPLACE WILL SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE WITH NO WARNING. LOOKING FOR ANSWERS TO WHY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

THE ENGINE FELL OUT THE ENGINE CRADDLE BROKE LOSE FROM THE FRAME IT RUSTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE CAR HAS NO RUST AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION.THANK GOD I HAD JUST GOTTON OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED STPPED AT THE STOP SIGN.DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE .

PURCHASED 2003 CADILLAC DHS FROM COAST CADILLAC, THE NEXT MONTH WE HAD TO GET A NEW ENGINE FROM RANCHO MOTORS. LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THAT WE HAD TO GET A NEW COMPUTER. MY HUSBAND HAD A CAR ACCIDENT ON JULY 4, 2009 WHERE HE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AAA ADJUSTER CAME TO DIAMOND CAR COLLISION IN HESPERIA AND STATED THE CAR WAS NOT TOTALED. I REQUESTED A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT TOTAL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2007 WHERE IT WAS REAR ENDED AND SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE. NOW THE SENSOR IS NOT SENDING A SIGNAL TO ENGINE COOLING FAN AND THE CAR RUNS HOT. NOONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS WE SMELL A STRONG SCENT OF FUEL OR FUMES. THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK HAS PROBLEMS. THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ON NUMERIOUS OCCASIONS. WE HAD TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION TWICE AND THE MOTOR MOUNT IS NOT LEVELED PROPERLY FROM REPAIRS OF JULY 4, 2009. GAS MILEAGE INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO DEPT OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS AND FILING A COMPLAIT AGAINST AAA INSURANCE. THEY REPAIRED THE VEHIICLE TWICE AND KNEW OF THE SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAGS YET WERE NOT WILLING TO TOTAL CAR. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ONGOING PROPLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED VEHICVLE AND ACCIDENTS THAT OCCURED. MY HUSBAND WAS NOT AT FAULT BUT WE SUSTAINED INURIES DURING THE ACCIDENT. ALSO DEPT OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR WANTED TO COME INSPECT BUT OWNER TALKED MY HUSBAND INTO DROPPING THE CLAIM I REPORTED AND TOLD HIM HE WOULD DO EX

WAS DRIVING IN A 25MPH ZONE WHEN BOTH REAR ENGINE CRADLE MOUNTS BROKE LOOSE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO DROP EFFECTING STEERING OF SAID CAR. HAD THIS BEEN ON A HIGHWAY, SERIOUS INJURY COULD HAVE RESULTED. *TR

IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, SMOKE WILL APPEAR FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, RATHER THAN THE HOOD. THE FAILURE HAS ALSO CAUSED THE AIR CONDITIONER TO STOP WORKING.

I OWN A 1993 CADILLAC DEVILLEI OWN A 1993 CADILLAC DEVILLE. I KNOW THAT THIS VEHICLE IS MORE THAN 10 YEAR OLD, BUT I STILL BELIEVE A GLAIRING AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT ISSUE IS: *AK WHEN THERE IS 3 GALLONS OR LESS OF GASOLINE IN THE FUEL TANK, AS INDICATED BY THE DIGITAL FUEL METER, ANY LONG SWEEPING TURN (ESPECIALLY TO THE RIGHT) WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR TO UNEXPECTEDLY STOP DUE TO FUEL STARVATION. WHEN THE MOTOR STOPS, THE POWER STEERING ALSO STOPS FUNCTIONING AND THE RESULT CAN BE LOSS OF CONTROL BY THE DRIVER OR AN ACCIDENT DUE TO PANIC. NOW THAT I KNOW IT MAY OCCUR ANY TIME THE FUEL IS LOW, I LOOK FOR IT. I'VE EXPERIENCED IT MANY TIMES BUT, IT'S STILL DISCONCERTING WHEN IT OCCURS.

I JUST CAME OFF I70 WHEN I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN==THE WASHERS HOLDING THE CRADLE MOUNTS ON THE REAR OF THE CRADLE PULLED THRPUGH THE CRADLE ITSELF RENDERING THE ENGINE TRANNY ASSEMBLY ON THE GROUND THE STEERING PULLED OUT OF ITS SLEEVE AND HAD NO STEERING THE EXHAUST PIPE ALSO SEPARATED DUE TO THE DROOPING OF THE CRADLE ON THE GROUND. *AK

THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RECALL INCLUDING THE DATE AND GM RECALL NUMBER. *MR *NM

THERE EXISTS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CADILLAC DEVILLE'S. MINE IS A 1993 MODEL BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS A CONSISTENT FLAW WITHIN THE DEVILLE LINE. IT REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL PAN, OIL GASKETS, AND OIL SEALS ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 3 YEARS. I HAD MINE REPLACED FIVE TIMES IN TEN YEARS. BESIDES THE COST, THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND POSSIBILITY FOR THE CAR TO CREATE DAMAGE TO OTHERS IS BEYOND MEASURE. CADILLAC HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY DEFECT. THEY KEEP CHANGING THE DESIGN OF THE OIL PAN AND GASKETS BUT TO NO AVAIL. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS OBVIOUS FRAUD BEING PERPETRATED AMONG CADILLAC DEVILLE OWNERS. WHO KNOWS THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THAT ARE PAID FOR YEARLY DO TO AN OBVIOUS AND KNOWN DEFECT. IF YOU CAN'T HELP CAN YOU REFER THIS TO SOMEONE WHO CAN? THANK YOU!*JB

WHILE DRIVING , THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE, THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE TRANS AXLE COOLANT HOSE WAS ALSO LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR IT, THE DEALER STATED THERE WERE TOO MANY LEAKS IN TOO MANY PLACES. THE CONSUMER REPAIRED THE PROBLEMS HIMSELF. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. *JB
