THE CAR WOULD DIE OUT, AND YOU HAVE NO POWER ANYTHING. PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND YOU COULD RESTART IT. SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE TWO SENSORS THAT COST ABOUT $400. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON A 2001 CADILLAC DEVILLE, I HAD IN 2012, AND HAD TO REPLACE SENSORS. ABOUT $400. AGAIN. ALL REPAIRS WERE DONE A CHEVY DEALER DEKALB/SYCAMORE CHEVY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A VILLAGE STREET, THE ENGINE JUST STOPS. IT HAS DONE THIS THREE OR FOUR TIMES. I HAD MY MECHANIC CHECK THE CAR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. IT SHOWED NO FAULTS. GLAD IT HAPPENS AT 20MPH IN TOWN, AND NOT AT 70 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. AT LEAST AT LOW SPEED, I CAN WRESTLE THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER! *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH ON OUR 2002 DHS CADILLAC WENT OUT IN APRIL, 2014; MILEAGE 91,000. WE LIVE IN COVE, OREGON. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FRO,M OUR GARAGE 15 MILES TO LEGACY FORD IN LAGRANDE, OREGON. THE TOTAL COST WAS TOWING 152.00, IGNITION SWITCH INSTALLATION 295.65. DUE TO THE RECENT RECALL ON IGNITION SWITCHES TO SO MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES IT SEEM REASONABLE TO ME THAT IT IS POSSIBLE OUR CADILLAC COULD BE PART OF THIS RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS NOTIFICATION BEING INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

AT AROUND 11:35 AM, AS I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM PRAIRIE STREET INTO THE FAR SOUTH ENTRANCE OF KROGERS' SUPERMARKET. THE CADILLAC'S ENGINE JUST STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FAST ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE TURN WITHOUT JUMPING THE CURB. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN, I PLACED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND HIT THE STARTER A FEW TIMES. THE ENGINE CRANKED BUT FAILED TO START THE FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS (AT LEAST I THINK). I WAS ABOUT TO START MY PROCESS OF EXITING THE CAR, WHEN I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER SHOWING 600 RPM. I WAS REALLY HESITATE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY FURTHER, SO WE PROCEEDED TO DO OUR GROCERY SHOPPING. I REMOVED THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE CAR'S ENTRY REMOTE AND MY CLUSTER OF PERSONAL KEYS. AFTER STOWING THE GROCERIES AND CHECKING MY COMPUTER FILES FOR THE PREVIOUS REPORTED CADILLAC'S PROBLEM CONCERNING ONSTAR DISABLING IT IN AUGUST 2008. I MADE SOME OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. I REALLY HAVE MY DOUBTS THAT THE WEIGHT ON THE KEY WOULD CAUSE SUCH A MALFUNCTION, UNLESS THE IGNITION CONTROL CIRCUITRY IS GROSSLY DESIGNED. *TR

DRIVING ON 85 AND RAN INTO TWO BIG POTHOLES. HAVE PICTURES ALSO.

WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN. ALL (EVERY) (ALL 4) WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN WITHOUT WARNING AND REQUIRED PREMATURE REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS A HAZARD SINCE SECURITY IN BAD NEIGHBORHOODS WAS COMPROMISED MULTIPLE TIMES, ALSO WAS UNABLE TO KEEP CRIMINALS AND RAIN OUT OF CAR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS CAUSING DAMAGE TO INTERIOR. *TR

ENGINE LEAKS OIL PROFUSELY FROM ALL OVER (ESPECIALLY OIL PAN GASKET) AND THE OIL FALLS ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND CAUSES FIRE HAZARD AND SMOKE AND THEREFORE POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE DANGEROUSLY FAILED PREMATURELY TWO TIMES IN 113,000 MILES. FAILED DANGEROUSLY AT 60,000 AND 113000 MILES. THIS RESULTED IN FRONT WHEEL SHIMMY (SHAKING STEERING WHEEL EXCESSIVELY) AT HIGH SPEEDS AND AT ALL TIMES WHEN BRAKING. FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING BRAKES WHEN BRAKING DOWN A HILL. WHEN CAR IS JACKED UP WHEEL ROCKED BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 2 INCHES. SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON GM CARS THAT USE THE CARTRIDGE TYPE OF WHEEL HUB BEARING ASSEMBLIES AS INDICATED BY NUMEROUS POST ON THE INTERNET AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS AN AUTO MECHANIC. *TR

THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN AND AFTER REPAIRING, WITHIN A YEAR TWO OF THE WINDOWS REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN AGAIN. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE A SUDDEN DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. IN ONE SITUATION, THE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR WHILE IN A RAIN STORM. THIS CAUSED A SUDDEN DISTRACTION TO THE ROAD. I STRAYED OUT OF MY LANE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN BREAKING OF THE REGULATOR. SECOND TIME OCCURRED WHEN I WAS AT A GROCERY STORE. I CAME OUT TO FIND THE REAR WINDOW DOWN WHICH COULD HAVE ALLOWED SOMEONE INTO THE CAR AND ROB OR EVEN WORSE. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN ANY OTHER CAR BUT THE CADILLAC DEVILLE'S. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHER CADILLAC OWNER'S JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE. *TR

2002 CADILLAC DEVILLE, GETTING CODES PCM P1860 AND PCMP0741. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. *TR

2002 DEVILLE BOUGHT IS USED WITH 46,000 MILES AFTER DRIVING IT 1,500 MILES I NOTICED IT USED 3 QUARTS OF OIL. EVERYONE I ASK SAYS IT IS EXCESSIVE AND I AGREE I CAN NOT GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF ON MY OWN AND I OWE TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE CAR TO GET RID OF IT. CADILLAC SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ONE CAR HAVING BLOWN THE ENGINE. HE NOW DRIVES A TOYOTA AVALON. *TR

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DIRECTLY FROM MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WHERE THE FIRST OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A CLEAN SERVICE HISTORY AND THAT IT WAS THOROUGHLY LOOKED OVER. WITHIN THE ONE AND A HALF YEARS I OWN THE VEHICLE I REPLACED BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, AND HAVE HAD THREE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. I CONTACTED CADILLAC CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THE WINDOWS ARE DEFECTIVE. AFTER SEEING AT LEAST SIX COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH THE NTSB AND FINDING OUT THAT THE DEALERS IN MY IMMEDIATE AREA KEEP THE WINDOW REGULATORS ROUTINELY STOCKED TELLS ME THAT THERE IS IN FACT A DEFECT. WHY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND WHY NOT AN HONEST ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITH THE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE REMAINED LOYAL TO GM OVER THE YEARS? I'M SORRY BUT THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT WILL MAKE ME THINK TWICE ABOUT WHAT BRAND OF VEHICLES MY FAMILY & I PURCHASE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF REAR ILLUMINATION OF GM VEHICLES DURING RAIN OR FOG DRIVING CONDITIONS. DRIVERS SEEM TO THINK THAT THEY DO NOT NEED TO TURN ON HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THEY PROBABLY DO NOT REALIZE THAT THE DRL'S ONLY ILLUMINATE THE FRONT OF THEIR VEHICLE. GM SHOULD INFORM DRIVERS THAT WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE REQUIRED, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS DO NOT SUFFICE. *TR

I HAD 3 WINDOWS ON MY 2002 CADILLAC THAT THE ARM INSIDE THE WINDOW HAS BROKEN AND THE WINDOW FALL DOWN AND YOU CANNOT GET IT BACK UP GENERAL MOTOR HAS A PROBLEM WITH AS THE DEALER TOLD ME HE HAD OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND HE QUOTED REPAIR COST WITH OUT LOOKING UP THE COST. *TR

1. NO WARNING. 2. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. CADILLAC IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE ONE OF THEIR ENGINES USES ALL THE OIL, OVER HEATS, CAUSING A FIRE THAT KILLS SOMEONE. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER TSB FORUMS 3. BEYOND ADDING 5QTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES NOTHING. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $5000 ENGINE REBUILD FOR THEIR MISTAKE. *TR
