2003 Cadillac Deville

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.

WHEN I GOT THE CAR THE CAR WASN'T PAINTED GOOD AT ALL AND THE IGNITION COIL WAS BAD. *TR

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.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING , ALSO AFTER I GOTTEN MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND MY FRONT MOTOR MOUNT PLACED IN THE CAR NO LONGER CRANKS LIKE NORMAL . TAKES A WHILE TO TURN OVER, KEY SLIDES OUT , STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN WHILE DURING AND STEERING WHEEL JERKS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION WHILE TURNING . THE POWER STEERING HAS A LEAK AND ALSO THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION HAS STOPPED WORKING LOWERED THE CAR AND SHOCKS HAVE LOWERED . NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 14V355000 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 03V238

BACK ON JULY 16TH 2019, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ABOUT TO GET A ON THE MAIN ROAD. WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED IN MY 03 CADILLAC DEVILLE. AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO HAVING WHIPLASH/NERVE DAMAGE. AS PER MYSELF, NOW I HAVE LOWER BACK ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL - THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OCCASSIONALLY AFTER I PUT GAS IN

2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE. CONSUMER WRITES REQUESTING INFORMATION FOR ANY SAFETY RECALLS ON THEIR VEHICLE. *LD *JS

I SEE THIS AFFECTS MANY YEARS AND MODELS. ITS THE SECURITY SYSTEM THINKING THE CAR IS BEING TAMPERED WITH AFTER A NEW BATTERY IS INSTALLED. THIS CAR WONT START AS MANY OTHERS. IT GETS JUICE TO THE FUEL PUMP LIGHTS AND DASH. JUMPED THE FUSE TO THE STARTER AND CAE TURNS OVER BUT WONT START. OT WILL LOCK YOU OUT. NO DEALERS OR MECHANICS KNOW WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS. SO WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO JUNK THE CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I'M ONE PO'D CADILLAC OWNER!!!

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE ARROWHEAD CADILLAC (8310 W BELL RD, GLENDALE, AZ 85308 (623) 455-6910) WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE KEY WAS HARD TO REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE WHERE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT A SECURITY MODULE FAILED AND THERE WAS A DISCONNECTION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

GOT A FLAT TIRE. STOPPED ON A PAVED STREET AND PUT TIRE JACK UNDER FRONT RIGHT UNDERCARRIAGE AS INDICATED IT SHOULD BE PLACED. I RAISED THE JACK TO REMOVE THE FLAT AND THEN HAD TO RAISE IT MORE TO INSTALL THE TEMP SPARE TIRE. THE JACK COLLAPSED ON THE TEMP SPARE AND THE BODY OF THE CAR HIT THE PAVEMENT. I'M FORTUNATE I DID NOT HAVE A FOOT UNDER THE CAR OR THAT I WASN'T PUTTING THE TEMP SPARE ON THE WHEEL WHEN IT FELL DOWN. THE JACK HAS A GROVE THE FIT INTO THE CAR UNDERCARRIAGE AND IT WAS INSTALLED CORRECTLY BUT THE JACK COLLAPSED FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR AS I RAISED THE JACK. I WAS ABOUT ONE INCH FROM GETTING THE TEMP SPARE ON THE WHEEL. I CONTACTED CADILLAC ON CHAT, REF# 8-4056609660, AND REQUESTED A FREE JACK REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS PURCHASED WITHOUT A JACK AS JACKS WERE OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AND ORIGINAL OWNER DID NOT PURCHASE ONE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A 2003 $30,000 PLUS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT WITH NO JACK FOR THE TEMP SPARE TIRE. I FEEL CADILLAC OWES ME FOR A NEW JACK AND PROBABLY FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED WHEN THE CAR FELL AND HIT THE PAVEMENT WHEN THE JACK COLLAPSED. WHAT DO YOU SAY? DID 2003 NOT REQUIRE TIRE JACKS WITH NEW VEHICLE PURCHASES? I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL BAD SHAPE IF THE LOCAL MAYOR HAD NOT HELPED ME GET THE CAR UP AND THE TEMP SPARE ON. DID I GET THE CADILLAC CHAT BUM BRUSHOFF? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON IN DISPLAY OFTEN AND STAY ON FOR DAYS IT MIGHT BE OFF A TIME AND IT COME BACK ON AND REMAIN ON

IGNITION RECALL: ON 12 MARCH 2015 I TOOK MY 2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE INTO VALLEY CADILLAC ROCHESTER, NY AS PART OF THE GM IGNITION RECALL. PRIOR TO THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE SERVICED, I HIT A POT HOLE ON THE CITY STREET AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING. LAST WEEK I WAS TURNING A CORNER AFTER COMING OFF THE FREEWAY OFF RAMP TURNING ON TO A CITY STREET AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED AGAIN AND EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. THE RECALL FIX DID NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I AM CALLING VALLEY CADILLAC FIRST THING MONDAY TO GET IT SERVICED AGAIN.

MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO POWER FOR BRAKES, STEERING OR LIGHTS. I HAD RECALL FOR KEY ROTATION COMPLETED LAST WEEK BUT MY CAR TURNED OFF LAST NIGHT WHILE DOING 70 ON INTERSTATE. THE MOSSY OF PICAYUNE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE RECALL MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE BUT FROM WHAT I READ BEFORE TAKING CAR IN...THE PROBLEM WITH KEY ROTATION CAUSES CAR TO TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED TO PREVENT BODILY HARM TO MYSELF AND POSSIBLY OTHERS. THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNING OFF PRIOR TO THE RECALL.

KEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. NHTSA RECALL #14V355. KEY ROTATION SAFETY RECALL HERE. DEALERS INSIST THAT I MUST BRING IN THE CAR TO GET THE 20 CENT KEY PART, ELSE GM WON'T PAY THEM. I DON'T HAVE A SPARE 2 HOURS. GM COULD EASILY SEND ME NEW KEYS OR THE 20 CENT PLASTIC PIECES THAT I COULD INSERT MYSELF. DEALERS I'VE SPOKEN WITH SAY THIS CHANGE IN THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR THE KEY RING ISN'T A COMPLETE SOLUTION, JUST A BAND-AID THAT WILL REDUCE THE INCIDENCE. PLEASE FORCE GM TO SEND REPLACEMENT KEYS OR JUSTIFY THE NEED TO FORCE OWNERS TO BRING IN THEIR CARS FOR A 20 CENT PLASTIC KEY MODIFICATION.

MY ENGINE LEAKS OIL FROM THE SEALS. IT WAS ALWAYS DEALER MAINTAINED FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE WITH LOW MILEAGE. IT STARTED 3 YEARS AGO. I NOTICED YOU RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY ENGINE IS A V8. REGULAR OIL CHANGES ETC. IT CONTINUES TO LEAK. DEALER WANTS $2,500 TO FIX SEALS. THE WAY I DRIVE IT WITH LOW MILLAGE OF 60,000 MILES IT SHOULD NOT HAVE LEAKED. JUST READ ABOUT RECALL OF OTHER GM CARS ON 27 OCT. 2015.
