1995 Cadillac Seville

Defect. SOME PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.0L V8 ENGINES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE NYLON TUBING USED IN THE FUEL RAIL CONSTRUCTION MAY DEGRADE AND CRACK. ADDITIONALLY, THE 1995 MODEL YEAR USES A UNIQUE UNDERHOOD FUEL RETURN LINE THAT MAY CRACK. CRACKING OF THE FUEL RAIL OR RETURN LINE TUBING CAN RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

Risk. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL WITH A NEW STAINLESS STEEL FUEL RAIL. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A REVISED CHASSIS FUEL RETURN LINE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 2, 2004, FOR 1996-1997 OLDSMOBILE AURORA VEHICLES. OWNERS OF 1995 CADILLACS AND 1996-1997 OLDSMOBILE AURORA WERE SENT LETTERS ON AUGUST 6, 2004. ADDITIONAL LETTERS TO OWNERS WILL BE FORTHCOMING. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS CAN OCCUR DUE TO WATER INTRUSION.

Risk. DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG WITHOUT WARNING COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOSE VEHICLE CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL CLEAN THE EXTERIOR CASE OF THE SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) AND APPPLY A POTTING COMPOUND TO THE SDM CASE AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR BODY.

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS DRIVING MY 1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE OUT OF A SHOP-RITE PARKING LOT ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2017 AND WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND ROUTE 46 (A BUSY HIGHWAY). MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD. ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 98V115000, 1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE 'PASSENGER VEHICLES INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS CAN OCCUR DUE TO WATER INTRUSION.' I THEN CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS WHO STATED THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THEY PERFORMED AN INVESTIGATION AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIRS BUT REFUSED TO GIVE ME A REASON. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE: 'FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE GENERALLY DESIGNED TO DEPLOY IN 'MODERATE/SEVERE' FRONTAL OR NEAR-FRONTAL CRASHES, WHICH ARE DEFINED AS CRASHES THAT ARE EQUIVALENT TO HITTING A SOLID, FIXED BARRIER AT 8-14 MPH OR HIGHER. (THIS WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO STRIKING A PARKED CAR OF SIMILAR SIZE AT ABOUT 16-28 MPH OR HIGHER.)' SINCE I WAS GOING MUCH SLOWER THAN 8-14 MPH, I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST ME OR ADVISE ME?

WANT START AFTER 2OR3 DAYS CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT. GAS PADDLE CHICKS WHEN YOU TURN SWITCH OFF.

HAVE HAD ONLY ONE PANIC STOP AND THE ABS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK AS THE CAR SKIDDED AND STEERING CONTROL WAS LOST. WE ARE GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT SAFETY ISSUES EXIST. A YEAR LATER, WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER WHO IS SERVICING IT. IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ?

POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE RESULTED IN VEHICLE FIRE. YH
