| Problem Category | Number of Problems |

| Fuses And Circuit Breaker problems | |
| Wiring problems |
No extraordinary events leading up to this problem. Massive sudden electronic failures of accessories systems. Parking brake release, loss of power to seats, cab lights out, front ac passenger side blows hot only, no power to door locks, no response to keyless entry, valet switch stopped working, rear window defogger stopped working, rear ac blower stopped working and electronic trunk and fuel release mechanisms no longer work. Consequences are possibility of car electronic system breaking down in traffic. All fuses, relays and circuit breakers are good. Cadillac dealer wants $175. 00 + parts just to repair the door locks.
Since I purchased the Cadillac 2000 seville in Mar. 2002, I have had many incidences in which the interior lights did not come on after starting the engine for several minutes, and that the headlights were dim. I took the vehicle into the dealer at kent rylee in rogers, ar, on 1-29-04, and to superior Cadillac in fayetteville, ar on 11-3-04 with the same complaints each time. They could not find anything wrong, as they said because it was difficult to detect the problem with intermittent failures of lights. This is an extreme safety hazard in nighttime and bad weather conditions, as I cannot see what I am doing in the car or outside of it! in addition, the covers for the windows and mirrors adjustment buttons are loose, and I was told by superior Cadillac that the whole door panel would have to be replaced at my cost. This is another safety hazard especially when you try to get the mirrors adjusted at night!.
