general problems of the 2003 Cadillac Deville

I tried to explain to the dealership that unaware of the recall my cars breaks had failed and crashed my vehicle. They said the only thing that was affected was the key. I had told her that the result of my crash was from my breaks not working due to the recall. She told me no that that wasnt affected. I just want my car to be safe on the road as I have kids, and family that ride with me regularly.

Tl-the contact owns a 2003 cadilac Deville. The contact stated the ignition switch fails when cutting the vehicle on. The key also gets stuck in the ignition. The air bag light illuminates when atempting to cut the vehicle on. The vehicle was towed to the contacts home and an independent mechanic came to the service the vehicle. The independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and found that the security module failed and was due to a disconnection of the electrical system. The vehicle was taken to vinings enterprises inc. , dealer (770) 382-2007 904 n tennessee st, cartersville, GA 30120 where they informed the contact that nothing could be done. The vehicle was not repaired the manufacturer was not notified. Jw.

After taking off from a stop sign, I drove up over about 1 1/2 inch vertical rise in the pavement (small bump). The engine and electrical systems shut down. I lost power stirring and power brakes. I got stopped and restarted the engine. This occurred about 3 days after I had taken my car to the gm dealer for repairs covered by gm recall 14299, "unintended ignition key rotation". My key did not rotate. Yesterday April 2, 2015 when driving 45 mph on a state highway, the engine stopped again without hitting any bumps. I was able to coast, put the car in neutral, and restart the engine, before the car behind me could hit me. There was no shoulder to pull off. Again there was no key rotation. I called my gm dealer after the first occurrence and was told I would have to pay for a new ignition switch or what ever was causing the problem. The recall only removed all other keys from the ignition key ring. This is a very dangerous defect that gm needs another recall to fix this sudden engine and electrical system shut down because if there is a crash the air bags will not deploy. Also lost of power stirring and power brakes makes control of the car very difficult.

The contact owns a 2003 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated that the vehicle suddenly accelerated while driving 55 mph. The engine warning light was illuminated at the time the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where a diagnostic was performed, which located the failure at the engine intake air flow. The vehicle was also taken to the dealer for a second diagnostic, which located the failure at the intake air plenum. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,100 and the approximate current mileage was 200,000.

Notified last summer (2014) about recall. . . In September (2014) notified to schedule an appointment for the repair. . . Have called the local dealer several times. . . . Dealer does not have the necessary materials to correct the problem. Have experienced several times the ignition turning off. . . . (the reason for the recall). . . Fortunately have not had an accident. What is holding up the repairs? why send a letter instructing us to now get it repaired when the local dealer does not have the materials needed? very frustrating!!!!.

2003 Cadillac Deville with approx. 65,900 miles on 07/11/07. The "service engine soon" warning light appeared on vehicle control panel & took vehicle to dealership same date 07/11/07. Dealer performed oil change & informed that entire transmission is about to fail & quoted $4,027. 00 for repairs. Dealer refused to honor warranty past 50,000 miles & informed entire cost was the responsibility of the customer. Gm was contacted & refused to provide any financial or repair assistance for defect and repeatedly delayed any decision until approximately 08/02/07 (after repeated attempts by customer to contact/resolve problem), other than a $1,000. 00 customer loyalty certificate to buy a new car on approx 8/02/07. Gm representative called & recorded phone conversation with customer without customer advance knowledge or consent on 8/01/07 & 8/02/07. Customer had gone to dealership (2nd time) & dealer service mgr. Refused to assist in any way (in person) & stated he will not help & stated his displeasure that gm was contacted. Cadillac was therefore taken to aamco at Cadillac owner's expense for complete transmission replacement. Another issue, "check coolant level light" had been brought to dealership attention (while previously under warranty) & told us to disregard/not worry about it approximately last three times car was in to dealership for oil changes (over approximately six months). Customer was told this is not any safety issue & to disregard "check coolant level light". Issue remains unresolved due to assurance of safety from dealership.
