2005 Cadillac Deville

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.

I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL & RESTART THE ENGINE, BUT FOR A SHORT PERIOD I WAS WITH LIMITED BRAKING AND STEERING. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING I AM CERTAIN THE OUTCOME WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS GOOD. AFTER THIS I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH CORRECTIVE RECALL COMPLIED WITH. THEY ADJUSTED THE SIZE OF THE HOLE ON MY KEYS - THIS WAS THE FIX. HOWEVER, CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE KEY HOLE DOES NOTHING TO PREVENT MY IGNITION SWITCH FROM "POPPING' TO OFF. AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE MENTIONED, I HAD ONLY A SINGLE KEY IN PLACE. I CONTACTED CADILLAC ABOUT THIS AND THEIR REPLY HAS BEEN THAT THE RECALL ONLY COVERS THE KEY HOLE CHANGE & DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. FURTHER, THEY INDICATEDTHAT I COULD HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH CHANGED FOR $1090.00.

THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR CHANGES POSITION, POINTING DOWN TO THE GROUND, ERRATICALLY, USUALLY WHEN ENTERING OR LEAVING THE CAR, OR INSERTING THE KEY, EVEN THOUGH I AM ALWAYS USING DRIVER #1 KEY. I CAN RESET IT, USE THE MEMORY BUTTON TO SAVE THE POSITION. IT MAY WORK FOR SEVERAL STOPS DURING A SHOPPING TRIP, THEN CHANGE AGAIN ON IT'S OWN. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN I WANT TO CHANGE LANES I LOOK AT THE MIRROR AND IT IS POINTED TO THE GROUND.

THIS REPAIR COST ME $572.66 TO RUN 2 NEW BRAKE LINES FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE REAR BRAKES. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AND NOT TRYING TO STOP AT 65 MPH. I HAVE AN 84 CHEVY, A 98 BUICK AND A 2002 CHEVY AND THE ONLY THING I EVER DID TO THE BRAKES WAS TO REPLACE THEM WHEN THEY WORE OUT.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DETROIT LOCATION OF DON MASSEY CADILLAC ON JUNE 9 2009. THERE WAS A VERY BAD RAIN STORM THAT WEEKEND. I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE RAIN COMING INTO THE VEHICLE BY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD DRIPPING FROM THE ROOF. AFTER TAKING IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES TO DON MASSEY THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT IT WAS SOME SORT OF PLUG IN THE SUNROOF THAT WAS GETTING CLOGGED UP. THEY FIXED IT BUT EVERY TIME IT HAS RAINED FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS RAIN HAS CONTINUED TO COME IN THE CAR AND NOW ITS COMING NEXT TO MY LEFT FOOT. THE DETROIT LOCATION OF DON MASSEY CLOSED LATER THAT YEAR AND I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO ANOTHER ONE (NOT SURE WHERE TO REALLY). NOW I'M REDUCED TO PUTTING A PLASTIC BAG OVER THE SUNROOF WHEN I KNOW RAIN IS PREDICTED (WHICH IS EXTREMELY TACKY ON A CADILLAC) ;-( NOT SURE IF OTHER 2005 CADILLAC OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS TRULY A PAIN IN MY "ROOF" . *TR

DRIVING MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL ON I 95 IN CONNECTICUT NEAR STAMFORD AT APPROXIMATELY 12 MIDNIGHT, AND NOTED CHIMES RELATED TO SAFETY ALERTS FOLLOWING A PARTICULAR STRONG BUMP IN THE ROAD. FIRST ALERT WAS THAT THE ABS AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM WAS INACTIVE, NEXT AIRBAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THEN ELECTRICAL CHARGE WAS LOW. ATTEMPTED TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO STOP THE CAR; EVENTUALLY ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND ALL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR BEGAN TO FAIL - COULD NOT OPEN WINDOWS, COULD NOT CONTACT ONSTAR, LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR, SPEEDOMETER, HAZARD LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND THE HEADLAMPS. EVENTUALLY USED STREET LIGHTS TO GUIDE US TO EXIT ON I 287 IN WHITE PLAINS, NY. ONCE WE FOUND A SAFE SPOT OFF THE ROAD, WE TURNED OFF THE CAR, BECAUSE WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS (?ENGINE, ?FIRE RISK, ?WOULD POWER STEERING / BRAKES FAIL NEXT). CAR TOWED AT ~10 AM TO LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN ON WET ROADWAY (NOT A PUDDLE OF WATER) OR TRYING TO TURN AT A LIGHT FOR INSTANCE WHILE IT IS RAINING, EVEN AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE POWER STEERING LOCKS AND THE CAR WILL NOT CONTINUE TO TURN, CAUSING TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU TO COME TO A SCREECHING HALT.AFTER STOPPING THE STEERING WILL SLOWLY LOOSENS UP ALLOWING YOU TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT WITH MY REPAIR GARAGE BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. SINCE I AM AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING I'M VERY CAREFUL WHEN MAKING A TURN IN THE RAIN. I'M THANKFUL I WASN'T ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 60. *TR
