2003 Cadillac Deville Problems

The contact owns a 2003 Cadillac DeVille. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The power steering was inoperable. In addition, the contact stated that the message that the key was not detected was displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle was recently serviced at the dealer under Manufacturer Recall Number: N140299. The contact stated that the failure had occurred before receiving the recall repair notification. The failure reoccurred after the recall repair was completed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

I tried to explain to the dealership that unaware of the recall my cars breaks had failed and crashed my vehicle. They said the only thing that was affected was the key. I had told her that the result of my crash was from my breaks not working due to the recall. She told me no that that wasnt affected. I just want my car to be safe on the road as i have kids, and family that ride with me regularly.

THE ABS & TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS COME UP ON THE SCREEN ALONG WITH CHECK AS I'M DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY BRAKES MAKE A WEIRD SOUND LIKE A SPRUNG SPRING AND THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GONE BUT THEY'RE NOT. IT'S SCARY BE SURE I FEEL I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP WHICH TO ME IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NO CODES SHOW EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, BUT NONE OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS EVER STAY ON VERY LONG, IT'S OFF AND ON , OFF AND ON, JUST POPS UP OCCASIONALLY, ALL 3 TOGETHER EVERY TIME. IT MAY GO DAYS BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO POP UP ON THE DASH AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN I WAS JUST HEADING OUT FOR WORK SO THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE PRIOR DAY IT WAS STABLE ON LEVEL GROUND AS I STARTED BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I REACHED THE POINT TO APPLY THE BRAKES THAT'S WHEN THE WEIRD BAKED SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY THE BRAKE PADDLE FEELING LIKE MY BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING AND DASH LIGHTS APPEARED. THIS HAPPENS DURING BRAKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR,/ MONITOR THING COULD BE THE CAUSE. THAT'S ANOTHER THING. WHY HAVE TIRE PRESSURE EFFECT THE WORKABILITY 9F MY BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL? THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TIRE PRESSURE. ALSO THE ELECTRIC REAR WINDOWS SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE. EVERY OWNER OF THE 03 CADILLAC DEVILLE HAS COMPLAINED OF THE WINDOWS JUST FALLING OUT OF PLACE BOTH OUTSIDE & INSIDE THE DOOR FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN A BAD DESIGN DEFECT. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS AT NO FAULT OF OURS? GM HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE FROM THE FIRST YEAR OF MANUFACTURING, YET IT IS US, THE BUYERS, CONSUMERS THAT ARE PAYING AND NOT JUST OUT OF MONEY BUT THE RISK OF BROKEN GLASS HURTING A BACKSEAT PASSENGER A CHILD OR ADULT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A LAW SUITE FOR GM. THIS IS WHY IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A RECALL.

DEAR SIR: I'D LIKE TO STATE THAT I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CADILLAC OWNER FOR MANY YEARS. AFTER SPEAKING TO CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TODAY REGARDING AN ISSUE THAT I HAVE WITH MY 2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE. IT HAS BECOME APPARENTLY CLEAR THAT CADILLAC LIKES SELLING HIGH PRICED LUXURY VEHICLES BUT HAS NO INTENTIONS ON STANDING BEHIND THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY SELL. LET ME ASK YOU THIS? HOW DOES CADILLAC ALLOW A DEFECTIVE SAFETY PART BASICALLY TO BECOME UNAVAILABLE FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS? I'M REFERRING TO THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON CADILLAC DEVILLE MODEL YEAR 2003. HERE IN NH IT'S A MOVING VIOLATION SUBJECT TO NH LAW SAF-C 3215.04 TO DRIVE SUCH VEHICLE KNOWING THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT FUNCTION. CADILLAC'S REMEDY WAS TO ORDER THE PART (WHICH I DID THROUGH AUTHORIZED DEALER IN MANCHESTER NH) AND WAIT UNTIL IT COMES IN AND IN THE MEANTIME DRIVE THE VEHICLE KNOWING THAT I'M IN VIOLATION OF NH STATE MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY LAWS. HOW MANY VIOLATIONS OR ACCIDENTS COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN BECAUSE OF MY FAULTY EQUIPMENT DURING A SIX MONTH TIME PERIOD. DO YOU KNOW? I CERTAINLY DON'T. HOWEVER, I DO KNOW THAT I WILL PERSONALLY HOLD GENERAL MOTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LEGAL ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST ME IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. AND FURTHERMORE, JUST THE FACT THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS ALLOWED A SAFETY PART TO BECOME UNAVAILABLE FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS ON VEHICLES BUILT OVER A 5 YEAR PERIOD SUGGESTS TO ME THAT THIS IS AN ITEM THAT SHOULD REQUIRE GENERAL MOTORS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL THAT WILL BE MY NEXT STEP IN WHICH I INTEND ON PURSUING. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE. I FIND YOU VEHICLES APPEALING AND COMFORTABLE BUT YOUR LOYALTY AND ACCOMMODATIONS TO YOUR EXISTING CUSTOMERS IS APPALLING. *TR
