Equipment Problems of Cadillac Deville - part 1

[  ] I had purchased my car used. I found that there was a recall on this model. I went online and ran the VIN # and confirmed that. I called the dealership and explained they looked it up and confirmed it needed to have the original plastic fuel rail replaced with a new stainless steel fuel rail. They informed me that they had to order the parts from michigan an it would be 2 weeks for the parts to get here and then we could set up an appointment to bring the car in. Over 2 weeks later they called and we set up the appointment I had started the car the morning of the appointment for it to go to the dealership. I  needed to grab something from in the house so I turned it off to go back in my house. I was answering a text on my phone and as I looked up to get out of the car there were flames coming out from between the fender and the hood. I rushed to the front of the car to put the flames out. . I just got the car a d couldn't afford to let turn to the ground. I took off my hoodie and used it to ut out the flames while doing so the hood came down and hit me in the back of my head,I burned my left hand pretty badly and burnt off my arm hair. I have had a ringing in my ears since I was hit in the head. I called the dealer and told them what happened and I would have to get it towed in. They said okay it took three days to get a tow truck because we had a snow storm. The tow companies were booked. I got the car to the dealer and exspected them to start the job.   the parts were ordered and there. It had been over 3 weeks now that had gone by since I first talked to the dealership and they ordered the parts I was waiting for. Now the car has been there for over a 2 weeks and  not  even been touched .   I was finally told by the service department  to call customer service about the recall. I called the # I was give spoke to someone and explained everything. After I was told they didn't know why I called. The dealership should just handle the repair. I called service and re.

2003 Cadillac Deville. Consumer writes requesting information for any safety recalls on their vehicle.

I see this affects many years and models. Its the security system thinking the car is being tampered with after a new battery is installed. This car wont start as many others. It gets juice to the fuel pump lights and dash. Jumped the fuse to the starter and cae turns over but wont start. Ot will lock you out. No dealers or mechanics know what this problem is. So we have no choice but to junk the car. This is ridiculous. I'm one po'd Cadillac owner!!!.

Car overheated while on freeway engine turned off left me with no steering or brakes. When car was bulit too short. Of header bolts were user.

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.

Was involved in a front end crash going 48mph and the drivers side air bag or any other air did not deploy. There was so much damage to the front end that the car was totaled a complete loss. I would like car to be inspected for faulty air bags and also front end for faulty equipment as did not hold up well with crash. This vehicle only had 78,000 miles and was in perfect condition prior to crash. I was told there was a recall on the airbags and with that much damage and speed they should of been deployed this is a major safety violation. I was driving east bound at 48 mph car in front slammed on brakes I tried to avoid them and went to the right but there was a pole and another truck so I pulled back to left and it the car in the rear. At no time did the air bags deploy I would like an investigation started prior to car being totaled and removed by insurance company.

Nhtsa campaign number: 14v355000 gm is making a half-hearted "repair" by placing an insert into the key. I've four times requested they mail me the inserts. They refuse. I must bring in the car so the dealer can record the VIN or they won't get paid. I can't spend 2 hours traveling to a dealership and waiting for the key inserts. It's not a vehicle repair and gm doesn't need my vehicle. Just the keys! I have four keys in the hands of different family members. Gathering them and making a trip to the dealership is unreasonable. Nhtsa should require gm to mail inserts to owners to place into the keys when requested.

Friend was driving my car at the normal speed limit and the car cut off. When the car cut off a car hit her from the side which caused the car to spin out of control and hit another car! the air bags never deployed and she was hurt badly. The key ignition recall for the 2003 Cadillac said that it will cause the car key to shift and could cut off while driving. This is a serious matter that needs to be taken care of because her neck and shoulder and foot got injured very badly because the air bags didn't deploy!. . . . . . Updated 01/12/bf.

I was preparing to make a 270 degree left turn and I was attempting to turn the wheel and the steering wheel kept spinning while the car stayed in a forward motion. I attempted to press on the brakes and they had barely any brake pressure which resulted me to collide with a parked car that was in the first parking spot in the lot I was attempting to pull into. The operator in the parked vehicle I hit was taken to the hospital after sustaining injures due to the impact of the crash.

I backed out of my driveway and proceeded down the highway and the passenger side airbag exploded on my wife's arm. I am afraid that it will happen on the drivers side while driving. What should I do for safety sake?.

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 was told by city service queens new york that at long last that the recall part was ready to be installed and when I arrived the next morning appointment I was told that gm did not deliver the part. I'm at an in pass and very annoyed.

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.

I have a recall on my car & had it repaired but gm will not reimburse me. . .

Keys have been recalled. Nhtsa recall #14v355. Key rotation safety recall here. Dealers insist that I must bring in the car to get the 20 cent key part, else gm won't pay them. I don't have a spare 2 hours. Gm could easily send me new keys or the 20 cent plastic pieces that I could insert myself. Dealers I've spoken with say this change in the center of gravity for the key ring isn't a complete solution, just a band-aid that will reduce the incidence. Please force gm to send replacement keys or justify the need to force owners to bring in their cars for a 20 cent plastic key modification.

I put my car in drive and it felt and sounded like the entire front end fell out,my electric shows everything works , have also had weird thing come up that I can not turn security off, it started over heating I have fixed everything but will still get extreamly hot for no reason,.

Key want fit in ignition, no power when excellerate.

Rolled down front passenger window using the driver button and was down for about a minute and then as I tried to bring it back up with the same button the window came up and then slammed down inside the window. The plastic guides broke inside and had to replace. The following week, the rear driver side window did the same thing. Today, my wife got the car washed and the attendant was unable to get the passenger rear window up without using his hands to help pull it back up. I'm hoping I'm not having to replace that one soon. It looks like others have been having the same problem. I believe there should have been a recall on this part! we are on our way to palm springs and I hope this doesn't happen while we are on vacation!!!!.

My first window broke about 6 months ago. My second one 3 weeks ago and tonight a third. Can Cadillac be responsible and can they be made to take care of these costs?.

The ignition switch on our 2002 dhs Cadillac went out in April, 2014; mileage 91,000. We live in cove, oregon. We had to have it towed fro,m our garage 15 miles to legacy Ford in lagrande, oregon. The total cost was towing 152. 00, ignition switch installation 295. 65. Due to the recent recall on ignitioin switches to so many other gm vehicles it seem reasonable to me that it is possible our Cadillac could be part of this recall. I would appreciate this notification being included in the recall.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Cadillac devill. The contact stated the vehicle key would not go into the ignition of the vehicle and had to call a locksmith. The locksmith then rebuilt the vehicle ignition. Also the contact stated the air bag light comes on and blinks while starting vehicle, and stays on. The contact stated that the vehicle steering was hard to turn and the vehicle makes a squeaky noise while attempting to turn the steering wheel. The manufacturer was made aware of failure. The vehicle had not been repaired at this time and the failure mileage was 111,808. Lnc.

Car keeps stalling out (at light, while driving, etc) with the cause apparently attributed to a faulty ignition switch. I had the ignition switch replaced (for a charge of $496) at midway Cadillac in pokomoke MD (after having car towed there on Feb 14, 2014, because at that time, had difficulty even getting the key in the ignition switch). The problem I was having with it stalling out persists, even after the new ignition switch. Writing because the ignition-switch-related problems I am having appear to be the same or similar to other gm cars which are currently being recalled due to ignition switch problems. Please include the Cadillac Deville 2001 into your investigation regarding faulty ignition switches of gm-made cars.

I have a lengthy complaint that I will send to your email address as an attachment ? thankyou !.

I have no lights inside, no backup lights, it is misfiring, it cuts off as I am driving,seat belt will not luck on passenger side.

Window regulators are faulty. When they break the window glass falls to the bottom of the door panel. This has happened twice and is a safety hazard at highway speeds especially in inclement weather. An internet search reveals this is a common problem with Cadillac.

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!.

Noticed that one passenger side headlight was out, but I still had the high beam. A few days later both were out. Went to auto parts store to have them put in new bulbs and they noticed the that plastic cover was missing and they said that caused the bulbs to short out. From reading other complaints I'm afraid I will have to pay hundreds for a new assembly when all I need is a plastic cover.

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.
