Car purchased 10/16/2003 with 15200 mileage. Left rear door regulator failed. This door could not have been used in 9 years more than 20-25 times. Dealer, royal Cadillac, charged $694. 95 for replacement. I complained to Cadillac, requesting reimbursement, and they refused. Research indicates that door regulator failures on this make and model were well known and published many years ago. Given the little useage of this door (we are senior citizens and rarely have rear seat passenders) I believe this defect to exist at the time of purchase.

The window regulator on the rr window of my 2005 Cadillac Deville is refective. My window is down and won't come back up although the motor power is running to the window the regulator is broken. I have checked the complaints and noted that there are several complaints regarding defective window regulators on this model of Deville which in 2002 through 2005. I called the dealer and they knew exactly what the problem was and said it would cost over $500. 00 to replace. This is only one window. There is the possibility that this could occur three more times. I know several people with this model Deville ( not this year) that have the same problem but can not afford to get the part replaced consequently they are driving around with no window in the back. I feel this is unsafe for children and pets. As well as dangerous for leaving your car out. I would appreciate if you would check into this. I think it has not been addressed because the complaints appear to be unrelated. However taken as a whole for all the years it is significant. I you look at the window regulators you will see the problem. I do not know how to get Cadillac to address this problem.

Rear passenger window made a popping noise and the window fell into the door and wouldn't raise back up. Secure windows are a very important personal safety issue, and this could be very dangerous situation if one is driving in inclement weather.

Over the past 26 months, each of the windows (4) in my 2004 Cadillac DE ville. 4 dr sdn, VIN [xxx] , has had the window regulator broken and had to be replaced. . This has happened as the window was opened with no prior warning. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Three of the four window regulators have broken and after repairing, within a year two of the windows regulators have broken again. This is an obvious manufacture defect that can cause a sudden distraction to the driver. In one situation, the window fell into the door while in a rain storm. This caused a sudden distraction to the road. I strayed out of my lane because of the sudden breaking of the regulator. Second time occurred when I was at a grocery store. I came out to find the rear window down which could have allowed someone into the car and rob or even worse. I have not seen this problem in any other car but the Cadillac Deville's. In speaking with other Cadillac owner's just about every single one of them reported the same issue. I think the government should be looking into the issue.

We were parked waiting to pick up a friend and heard a noise that sounded like someone had thrown a stone at our driver side window. The window dropped down approximately two inches, and wouldn't go back up. The cable mechanism that operates the window broke. Now we have had a total of three that have broken in the same manner, with the same sound and window dropping down. Repair man said the problem is a faulty design and carries a repair cost of over $395. 00 each.

I am the second owner of this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle directly from my local Cadillac dealership where the first owner purchased the vehicle. I was told that the vehicle had a clean service history and that it was thoroughly looked over. Within the one and a half years I own the vehicle I replaced both front wheel bearings, and have had three window regulators replaced. I contacted Cadillac corporate and was told I would have to pay a diagnostic fee to the dealership to find out if the windows are defective. After seeing at least six complaints registered with the ntsb and finding out that the dealers in my immediate area keep the window regulators routinely stocked tells me that there is in fact a defect. Why a diagnostic fee and why not an honest attempt to remedy the defect with the customers that have remained loyal to gm over the years? I'm sorry but this type of treatment will make me think twice about what brand of vehicles my family & I purchase in the future.

The sun visor doesn't extend forward far enough. As a result, the visor obstructs driver's view. The visor was changed in the newer model year vehicles, but the manufacturer was not willing to resolve the problem although they were aware of visor's defect.
