MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2002 CADILLAC DEVILLE OCTOBER 14, 2001. ON APRIL 25, 2003 WITH 11,059 MILES ON THE ODOMETER THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB TO ALLOW THE TRAFFIC TO GO BY. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PROCEED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED TWO SENSORS UNDER THE WARRANTY. ON JULY 28, 2006 WITH 30,779 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IT STALLED AGAIN AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AFTER TRYING FOR SOMETIME THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THESE SAME TWO SENSORS AT A COST OF $468.65 TO US. I AM 82 AND MY HUSBAND IS 85 AND WE FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THE CAR STALL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH PERHAPS AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. WE ARE ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOT KNOWING IF THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, ESPECIALLY ON A FREEWAY. OUR SON TOLD US OF A FRIEND'S FATHER WHO HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM THREE TIMES ON HIS CADILLAC LIKE OURS. WE WONDER IF THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT ON ALL OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF CADILLAC. *NM

A 2002 CADILLAC DEVILLE DHS 4-DOOR SEDAN WAS ORIGINALLY PARKED HEAD-FIRST INTO A PARKING SPACE. WHEN THE DRIVER STARTED THE IGNITION, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUT THE VEHICLE INTO THE REVERSE GEAR "R", SLOWLY AND PARTIALLY RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE MOVED BACK NORMALLY AS EXPECTED. AFTER ABOUT 15 FEET, THE DRIVER TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE INTO POSITION TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT. AT THAT MOMENT, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED UP, THE BRAKES FAILED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION, THE STEERING MECHANISM FAILED (DRIVER'S ACTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAD NO IMPACTS ON THE ACTUAL MOTIONS OF THE FRONT WHEELS), AND A SIGNIFICANT "CLANKING" NOISE (AS IF SOME MAJOR COMPONENTS IN AND AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA HAD BEEN BROKEN) WAS CLEARLY NOTICEABLE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AFTER SCRATCHING THE SIDE OF ANOTHER PARKED 4-DOOR SEDAN AND SUBSEQUENTLY HITTING A SIGN POST ABOUT 35 FEET FROM ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE COULD BE SEEN WITH ITS ENGINE COMPARTMENT LOWERED AND THE FENDERS "RESTED" ON AND TOUCHING THE FRONT WHEELS, AS IF THE FRONT AXLE HAD BROKEN. LOOSE BEARINGS / NUTS COULD BE FOUND IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE. *NM

THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DASH CLUSTER TWO OR THREE TIMES. IT WORKED FOR A WHILE, AND THEN IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. *AK

I DON'T SUSPECT THAT THIS DEFECT IS SAFETY-RELATED SO MUCH AS JUST A DEFECT, BUT THE WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN ON 3 OF THE WINDOWS IN MY CADILLAC IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS, CAUSING ALL 3 WINDOWS TO BE STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE REPAIR GUY SAYS HE IS REPAIRING A LOT OF REGULATORS IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPLY DESIGNED. *NM

1. (A) MY CADILLAC (DHS-2002) OPERATES IN A DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE MANNER THAT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

(B) THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THOUGH THE BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. (C) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WHEN MAKING TURNS. 2. (A) MY VEHICLE CONTAINS "AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSORS" FOR ITS WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE WIPERS COME ON VIOLENTLY (HIGHEST LEVEL), EVEN WHEN NOT TURNED ON, AND THOUGH IT IS NOT RAINING. THE DANGER IS SUDDEN DISTRACTION, WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN MERGING WITH TRAFFIC AND IN OTHER DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS. THEY ALSO COME ON SUDDENLY WHEN PASSING RADIO TOWERS. THE DATE SET FORTH BELOW IS THE FIRST INCIDENT; IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. (B) THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CREATES FEAR IN THE DRIVER, AS WE ARE UNSURE AS TO IF AND WHEN THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY.
