general problems of the 2004 Cadillac Deville

When driving the car the "service engine soon" light would come on. I took it to the local gm dealer and the told me the computer was bad and needed to be replaced. They got the new part in and tried to program it and "fried" the part. After trying 13 units I was told that there is a defect in the part and that gm was sending 2 engineers to mexico to investigate the factory where they are made. It was then determined that it is now a software issue that gm changed the software over 1 1/2 years ago and upload procedure and was now looking to see where the problem is. It has now been 6 weeks since my car has been in the shop and I have no estimation as to when the problem will be solved. I was also told that there are as amny as 10 to 20 cars around the us with the same problem and are unreapairable at this time. It is obvious that gm knew they had a problen since they changed the procedure 1 1/2 years ago since my car is not the first to experience this.

Takata inflators . . . And ignetion.

Car was parked, attempted to start it but key would not turn. About half hour later ignition switch worked. Call to dealer, dealer said parts not available for at least 3 months after call to Cadillac corp appointment was available next day when brought into dealer switch was working. While at dealer switch failed to turn. Cadillac said it was not their problem $800 plus repair.

The letter I just received states "schedule an appointment with your Cadillac dealer as soon as possible" I was given a date of December 1, 2014. To bring the car in for the gm recall 14299 to be done to the vehicle. That is 50 days from now. That is unbelievable. . . Almost 2-months in advance. General motors you should understand why are dealerships taking this in stride? I think this is unconscionable to have an appointment so far in the future when my life could be at stake, or my family? I think this recall should be on the dealers top list of having this done as soon as possible. In days, not the way I have been treated. The name of the dealership is kenny ross somerset, pennsylvania.

I veered right to avoid a vehicle who approached over the center yellow line, the wheel locked, and I crashed over guardrail and into a utility pole. The airbags never deployed. I was not injured, and did not seek medical attention. The vehicle was a total loss. I did not know my vehicle was involved in a recall until my insurance provider sent me a document to that effect as part of the payout for the car. I've been driving for over 40 years, I am a defensive driver. I have 15 keys on my keychain what happened was just as they outlined I am totally screwed in this whole situation.

When the key was inserted into the ignition it did not go in. It appears due to a gm recall #14299 this contributed to, what seams, the tumblers falling & the key will not insert. The vehicle is now disabled. I believe this is gm's faul & should be under their warranty.

Right front window dropped/broke down causing a $500 repair. Three months latter the left rear window also broke causing another $500 repair. Now, in 2014 the right rear window has broken, while driving on the freeway, startling my wife and grandchild with another very loud bang! this is a continuing problem on a car that only has 48,500 miles on it, and is always parked inside a garage. There are way too many reports of this happening for the feds or gm not to do something about this failure!.

9/30/10 - could not start or remove key from ignition, had to have vehicle towed from parking lot to dealership, had cylinder lock and key replaced. 12/10/13 - key is stuck in on position, drove straight to dealership (since we could not turn the car off), had to replace cyclinder lock and key again.

The regulators on all four power windows broke, all while driving on higher speed roads (main thoroughfares or highways), three out of four on occasions with inclement precipitous weather and/or extreme cold. This was not only expensive to repair each time, but created an unsafe driving environment exposing the driver and passengers to the elements! a representative at the dealer in nashville said the company knew this was common but never was held to a recall. Over $1,200 for repairs over the years because of some cheap chinese-made plastic parts! how do I know that the replacements will hold up? having just found out about this site, I can't begin to imagine what happened to the receipts, but I needed emergency repairs while traveling between NJ and TN. The first event was about 12 years ago (the date below is an estimate for the first one of the incidents, but there were four total). The mileage for the first event is merely a guestimate of 75,000 miles. The vehicle now has over 203,000 miles. The last of four was about five or six years ago. Unbelievable to me that Cadillac has done nothing and wasn't held to a recall!.

The power windows in my 2004 Deville one window per year has just gone bad the motor for the power window had to be replaced and it has cost me $300. 00 per window. So far three windows have gone out and I am now waiting for the fourth and hopefully final window to go out at a cost of $1,200. 00.

The onstar equipment on 2004 Cadillac Deville did not work properly. ** answer required***. The consumer stated the phone did not reconize voice command.
