4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 1999 Cadillac Seville

Failure Date: 10/25/2013

My son almost died on October 25, 2013 in his 1999 Cadillac Seville in our driveway while he was relaxing in it with his dog. He had fallen asleep waiting for his mother/my wife and the engine caught fire. He needed to climb out of window and pull his dog through the window. He injured himself and went to hospital. The fire was so intense that the engine fell apart from heat, the cabin was destroyed, front tires are gone/melted while trunk and gas tank were relatively fine. The police and fire departments responded to this disaster in our driveway. My son also lost various personal possessions and his transportation to work. It has been several months since my son's near death experience and the only thing gm says is that the fire damaged the car and there is nothing it can do. It also has informed me that if I wish to take any other action, I must retain the vehicle, which is a burned-out shell of a vehicle in our front driveway. It is a reminder every day that my son almost died in what I thought was a high quality car and gm does not care about its customers. I was hoping that gm would resolve this matter in a reasonable manner so my son could move forward with his life. He lost several personal affects, his prescription eye glasses, school supplies and money he had withdrawn to give to my wife for a school bill. I also have been unable to use our bonneville for 5 months because the Cadillac is blocking access to it. Is there anything you can do that will resolve this matter in a fair manner? we need immediate assistance from gm. Thank you.

8 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 1996 Cadillac Seville

Failure Date: 03/20/2010

My 1996 Cadillac sedan deville caught on fire on 3-20-10 after I started the engine. I had it towed to a local dealership which informed me that there was an open recall on the engine fuel rail which I was not aware of. I contacted general motors and informed them of the damages to my car and they told me that the statue of limitation had expired on my car. My problem is how could they have forseen that this was going to happen unless they knew that there was a problem. I was informed that the statue of limitation expired on 2-13-02 and the recall was issued until 4-16-04 which does not make sense unless they knew there was a problem and just didnt do anything about it. My question is did I have to get burnt or lose my life in that car for general motors to take responsibilty for what happened to my car. Now I have no transportation and general motors wont take responsibility for what happened. An employee from geralds tires had to run and get a fire extingusher to put the fire out before any of there customers or employees got hurt when the fire ignited. Who is going to hold these manufactures liable for there negligence. If I had received a recall notice I would have had the fuel line replaced because thats something very serious and dangerous and I drive my kids and grandkids in that car because thats my only vehicle and I feel that general motors should stand up and take resposibility for there negligence it is something that they manufactured and also dana the maker of the fuel line.

10 Engine And Engine Cooling problem of the 1997 Cadillac Seville

Failure Date: 07/29/2008

I was on the highway driving at 60 to 65 miles an hour, the distance before the malfunction began was approximately 5 miles before my brakes automatically were applied during a non braking application. The Cadillac sts slowed down into a car that hit my rear bumper. I tried to recover from the bump. As an result, the momentum sent me into a rocky but grassy ditched area on the side of the highway. As a result of the ebtcm failing while driving on the highway, my bumper was damaged, front bumper was damaged, along with my steering and struts. I contacted gm about the issue with this defective ebtcm and the remedy has been that a inspector will evaluate the car then next(. . . . ) I will be notified whether or not it will repaired. The car has been parked majority of the time since my incident. I'm waiting for the inspector to call and schedule an date to view vehicle. After the date of accident, I went to get a diagnosis of the damage from an authorized Cadillac dealer and they told me I would have to start with the ebtcm and struts. In addition, they would need more time to diagnosis other issues.
