2000 Cadillac Deville

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I HAD TO PARK CAR AND NO LONGER DRIVE EVEN THOUGH I PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT IN 2013. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON AIRBAG SYSTEM FOR MY CAR.

WHILE BACKING UP IN MY PARKING LOT , I HEARD A LOUD POP AND LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING BOX BOLTS HAD RIPPED OUT OF THE FRAME.

ENGINE BEGAN OVERHEATING AND TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE WATER PUMP. ENGINE CONTINUED TO OVERHEAT AND SAME MECHANIC REPLACED ALL OF THE UPPER SEALS. EVENTUALLY, A PRESSURE TEST AND CAMERA INSERT BY MY MECHANIC CONFIRMED A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. CONFIRMED THAT RESULT WITH PEPE CADILLAC IN WHITE PLAINS, NY. CHECKED THE PRICE TO HAVE THE HEAD GASKETS REPLACED, BUT SINCE THIS ENGINE HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, THE COSTS ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE FIX FOR THESE ALUMINUM HEADS ARE BOLTS RATHER THAN THE GM SERTS. BAD ENGINE DESIGN BY GM SINCE THEIR BOLTS WERE TOO SHORT AND THE BITE WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH IN THE BLOCK TO PREVENT THE HEAD GASKETS FROM BLOWING. SAD EPITAPH FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 65K LIGHTLY DRIVEN MILES ON IT HAVING SPENT ALL OF IT'S OFF ROAD LIFE IN OUR GARAGE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE NORTHSTAR ENGINE DURING THAT PERIOD AND WAS FINALLY SOLVED AFTER 2004. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE ENGINEERING NORTHSTAR ENGINE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A WIRING PROBLEM UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I CONFIRMED THIS BY MOVING THE SEAT WHICH CAUSES THE LIGHT TO COME ON OR GO OUT. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM WHICH MIGHT INACTIVATE THE AIR BAGS, I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY A RECALL NOTICE BY GM AND THE BURDEN TO REPAIR THE LOOSE WIRE CONNECTION SHOULD FALL UPON GM.
