My wife purchased a 1999 Cadillac Eldorado in 2009 and it only had 38k miles on it. Now in 2016 it only has 103k miles on it but while driving the engine coolant temperature gauge will frequently go from 'normal' to 'engine hot - a/c off'. After shuting off the engine, letting it cool, and topping off the coolant level, the will operate in the 'normal' temperature range for several miles but then it will suddenly jump up to the 'engine hot - a/c off' range. The car is now at a repair shop and they have diagnosed that this 1999 Cadillac Eldorado has failing cylinder head gaskets. Recall - campaign #99086 (March 19, 2002) acknowledges this defect and the reasons for it. Will Cadillac please help us with this problem? a 103,000 mile Cadillac Eldorado should not have this issue and, if it does, the manufacturer should take responsibility.

From a complete stop the car suddenly accelerated as if I had floored the gas pedal. I braked hard and brought the car to a stop, the engine still racing. I turned off the engine, waited a while and restarted the car. Normal operation. I was too far for a tow, so I drove ~50 miles to my daughter's house. The car accelerated twice more at freeway speeds. Hard brake, pull to the side, shut off engine, restart, everything normal. This has happened 5 more times, twice with witnesses to see that I did not mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. More stuff replaced over the next three years, but the problem still occurs occasionally. Independent gm mechanic thinks that the computer dropping out and restarting again at full-throttle could cause it, and that replacing the computer would not guarantee a fix. The vehicle has only 85,000 miles on it now and is in otherwise fine shape as far as the drivetrain is concerned.
