7 Car Stall problem of the 1999 Cadillac Seville

Failure Date: 05/26/2005

While driving at highway speed, mostly when slowing down quickly, vehicle stalls & dies. When this occurs vehicle loses all power. Happens every few weeks; starts right up again after coming to stop, but it's difficult to stop because no power brakes, steering, etc. Very dangerous. I want this to be a record of the problem in case I am killed in accident following an occurance of this type.

8 Car Stall problem of the 1999 Cadillac Seville

Failure Date: 12/24/2004

I serviced my 1999 Cadillac Seville in November 2004. It only has 31,000 miles and is driven on freeway only. The car stalled for no reason when I last drove it and now will not start. Battery is fine, power kicks on but engine will not respond. This is frightening as it dies while I was in an intersection during a u-turn. Warranty just expired and I will be taking it to the dealer 1/10 (at my cost). I think they should step up to the plate. It was not surprising to see 7 other complaints against the same year's model.

16 Car Stall problem of the 2000 Cadillac Seville

Failure Date: 02/04/2003

On two separate occasions my old 2000 gm Cadillac sts stalled while driving on the highway. This was not a mechanical problem - it was some sort of defect. Note that it was "repaired" in between the incidents, do it was not the same initial problem. I filed a complaint back then, but got no response. The mechanics at the palo alto Cadillac dealer seemed to know of the problem. At the time, they said it was a failure of some sensors on the flywheel. I don't know if this was related to the current ignition switch problem. Having a vehicle stall at 65 mile per hour is absolutely terrifying. You lose power steering and brakes. It would have certainly ended up in an accident if I didn't understand how cars work. I was able to shift into neutral and restart the car. My point is, there was a defect on this car that appeared to be known by gm, and was also ignored. The complaint was ignored by the NHTSA. I think you should also inquire with gm what was known about this defect. As I wrote - they seemed to have known that this was a problem, and just repaired it, rather than understand the risk they were making us take. I ended up selling the car because of this issue.

21 Car Stall problem of the 1998 Cadillac Seville

Failure Date: 03/27/2002

This vehicle was purchased in December 2001 as a reaquired vehicle from general motors with a 12 month, 12,000 mile new car warranty with the option for us to purchase an extended new car warranty which we did. This vehicle had an intermittent stalling problem when it was reaquired the first time. When we purchased the vehicle it was sold as having been corrected for the problem. On March 27, 2002, began the series of headaches. The car stalled and we took it to kachine Cadillac. To date this vehicle has been in there 7 times for the intermittent stalling. To date 8/6/02, the car is again in the dealer shop and has been since July 26, 2002. At first they refused to keep the car because they did not know what was causing the stalling and did not want to pay for rental cars for us anymore of which we have now had 7 rental vehicle and to date still are driving a rental. When we reported it to better business bureau, they then changed their tune and again gave us another rental and since, the car is still in their possession. This is a safety hazard as you don't know when the car is going to stall and we are afraid of this causing an accident and/or serious injuries. We explained our concern to them, but at the time they said just bring it back if it stalls again. It is not safe for ourselves much less anyone else. The reference number to this is 8014734.
