2002 Cadillac Deville Problems & Complaints

The contact owns a 2002 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated that while driving approximately 7 MPH and making a left turn, the vehicle suddenly shut off, causing the driver to lose control of the steering and crash into a tree. During the crash, the vehicle sustained front-end damage, but no air bag had deployed. No injuries were reported, and no police report was taken. The vehicle was later towed to a local dealer, who diagnosed that the ignition switch had failed. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 80,000.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN THE HORN SOUNDED EXTREMELY LOUD AND WOULD NOT STOP I COULD NOT STOP IT SO I TOOK IT TO SHOP. THE DEALER SAYS THAT AIRBAG SHORTED OUT AND SHORTED OUT THE HORN. THEY WANT TO REPLACE AIRBAG AND HORN AT A COST OF $1109 WAS THIS AIRBAG RECALLED?

I WAS GOING TO DROP OFF SOME TRASH BAGS IN DUMPSTER AROUND THE BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE.AND WAS PARKED NEXT TO IT AT APTMENTS STREET.I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED OFF ENGINE AND REMOVED THE KEYS POPPED THE TRUNK REMOVED TRASH BAGS CLOSED TRUNK AND GOT BACK IN DRIVER SEAT PLACED KEY IN JUST AS ALWAYS REAL EASY GOING AND TRIED TO TURN IT FOR HOUR IN HOT SUN THEN WALKED HOME CALLED TOW TRUCK WERE WE BROUGHT IT HOME WERE I LIVE MY HOUSE AND COST $164.00 DOLLARS AND IS IN SAME CONDITION AS OF NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AND I WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND I'M PRETTY SURE MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING EITHER

TAKATA AIR BAG, DO NOT KNOW IF THAT ITEM IS IN MY CAR BUT THEY SAY IT IS. ALSO LIKE SO MANY NORTHSTAR ENGINES THERE IS TROUBLE WITH THE HEAD GASKET, AND ACCORDING TO THE HYDROCARBON BLOCK TEST, MINE MUST BE REPLACED. IN ORDER TO REPLACE IT, THE ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN MUST BE REMOVED, AT MY EXPENSE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, MY CAR CONTINUES TO TRY AND OVERHEAT AFTER ABOUT 29 MILES OF DRIVING. AFTER LISTENING TO THOSE FOLKS ON THE CADILLAC FORUM, I HAVE BEEN LEAD TO BELIEVE, THE OVERHEATING ISSUE MAY BE, PARTLY THE FAULT OF THE FINE THREAD HEAD BOLTS AND OR STUDS. MANY MECHANICS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE SAID THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE, ALTHOUGH THE FOLKS ON THE CADILLAC FOURM HAVE SAID THAT TIME-SERTS, OR THE LARGER STUDS/BOLTS MIGHT FIX THE ISSUE. NEVER THE LESS, WITH EACH CADILLAC DEVILLE DHS WITH THE NORTHSTAR ENGINE I READ ABOUT, THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS FOR ALMOST ALL OF THEM, WHICH INDICATES TO ME THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE IN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF POSSIBLY NOT USING A LARGE ENOUGH BOLT/STUD TO BEGIN WITH. EITHER THAT OR CADILLAC MAY HAVE HAD A PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE TYPE THING TO GET THE DRIVERS TO KEEP REPLACING THEIR AUTOMOBILES. AND THEY SAY RECALLS ARE NOT COVERING THIS DESIGN FLAW....

I HAVE THE LIGHT ON DASHBOARD OF AIRBAGS THE LIGHT NEVER TURNS ON PLUS BLUETOOTH DOESNT WORK AND SOME TIME IT DOESNT WANT TO TURN ON THIS HAPPEN LIKE 3 TIMES 1 IN THE GAS STATION 2 AT WALMART PARKING AND 3 AT HOME THIS HAPPEN DIFFERENT DAYS AND MONTHS FROM OCT ,2018, NOV ,2018 , AND JAN OF THIS YEAR 2019

THE IGNITION SWITCH ON OUR 2002 DHS CADILLAC WENT OUT IN APRIL, 2014; MILEAGE 91,000. WE LIVE IN COVE, OREGON. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FRO,M OUR GARAGE 15 MILES TO LEGACY FORD IN LAGRANDE, OREGON. THE TOTAL COST WAS TOWING 152.00, IGNITION SWITCH INSTALLATION 295.65.

AT AROUND 11:35 AM, AS I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM PRAIRIE STREET INTO THE FAR SOUTH ENTRANCE OF KROGERS' SUPERMARKET. THE CADILLAC'S ENGINE JUST STOPPED RUNNING.

THE ENGINE CRANKED BUT FAILED TO START THE FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS (AT LEAST I THINK). I WAS ABOUT TO START MY PROCESS OF EXITING THE CAR, WHEN I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER SHOWING 600 RPM. I WAS REALLY HESITATE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY FURTHER, SO WE PROCEEDED TO DO OUR GROCERY SHOPPING. I REMOVED THE IGNITION KEY FROM THE CAR'S ENTRY REMOTE AND MY CLUSTER OF PERSONAL KEYS. AFTER STOWING THE GROCERIES AND CHECKING MY COMPUTER FILES FOR THE PREVIOUS REPORTED CADILLAC'S PROBLEM CONCERNING ONSTAR DISABLING IT IN AUGUST 2008. I MADE SOME OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. I REALLY HAVE MY DOUBTS THAT THE WEIGHT ON THE KEY WOULD CAUSE SUCH A MALFUNCTION, UNLESS THE IGNITION CONTROL CIRCUITRY IS GROSSLY DESIGNED. *TR

2002 DEVILLE BOUGHT IS USED WITH 46,000 MILES AFTER DRIVING IT 1,500 MILES I NOTICED IT USED 3 QUARTS OF OIL. EVERYONE I ASK SAYS IT IS EXCESSIVE AND I AGREE I CAN NOT GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF ON MY OWN AND I OWE TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE CAR TO GET RID OF IT.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DIRECTLY FROM MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WHERE THE FIRST OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A CLEAN SERVICE HISTORY AND THAT IT WAS THOROUGHLY LOOKED OVER. WITHIN THE ONE AND A HALF YEARS I OWN THE VEHICLE I REPLACED BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, AND HAVE HAD THREE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. I CONTACTED CADILLAC CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THE WINDOWS ARE DEFECTIVE. AFTER SEEING AT LEAST SIX COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH THE NTSB AND FINDING OUT THAT THE DEALERS IN MY IMMEDIATE AREA KEEP THE WINDOW REGULATORS ROUTINELY STOCKED TELLS ME THAT THERE IS IN FACT A DEFECT. WHY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND WHY NOT AN HONEST ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITH THE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE REMAINED LOYAL TO GM OVER THE YEARS? I'M SORRY BUT THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT WILL MAKE ME THINK TWICE ABOUT WHAT BRAND OF VEHICLES MY FAMILY & I PURCHASE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF REAR ILLUMINATION OF GM VEHICLES DURING RAIN OR FOG DRIVING CONDITIONS. DRIVERS SEEM TO THINK THAT THEY DO NOT NEED TO TURN ON HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THEY PROBABLY DO NOT REALIZE THAT THE DRL'S ONLY ILLUMINATE THE FRONT OF THEIR VEHICLE. GM SHOULD INFORM DRIVERS THAT WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE REQUIRED, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS DO NOT SUFFICE. *TR

I HAD 3 WINDOWS ON MY 2002 CADILLAC THAT THE ARM INSIDE THE WINDOW HAS BROKEN AND THE WINDOW FALL DOWN AND YOU CANNOT GET IT BACK UP GENERAL MOTOR HAS A PROBLEM WITH AS THE DEALER TOLD ME HE HAD OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND HE QUOTED REPAIR COST WITH OUT LOOKING UP THE COST. *TR

A 2002 CADILLAC DEVILLE DHS 4-DOOR SEDAN WAS ORIGINALLY PARKED HEAD-FIRST INTO A PARKING SPACE. WHEN THE DRIVER STARTED THE IGNITION, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUT THE VEHICLE INTO THE REVERSE GEAR "R", SLOWLY AND PARTIALLY RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE MOVED BACK NORMALLY AS EXPECTED. AFTER ABOUT 15 FEET, THE DRIVER TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE INTO POSITION TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT. AT THAT MOMENT, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED UP, THE BRAKES FAILED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION, THE STEERING MECHANISM FAILED (DRIVER'S ACTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAD NO IMPACTS ON THE ACTUAL MOTIONS OF THE FRONT WHEELS), AND A SIGNIFICANT "CLANKING" NOISE (AS IF SOME MAJOR COMPONENTS IN AND AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA HAD BEEN BROKEN) WAS CLEARLY NOTICEABLE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AFTER SCRATCHING THE SIDE OF ANOTHER PARKED 4-DOOR SEDAN AND SUBSEQUENTLY HITTING A SIGN POST ABOUT 35 FEET FROM ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE COULD BE SEEN WITH ITS ENGINE COMPARTMENT LOWERED AND THE FENDERS "RESTED" ON AND TOUCHING THE FRONT WHEELS, AS IF THE FRONT AXLE HAD BROKEN.

THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DASH CLUSTER TWO OR THREE TIMES. IT WORKED FOR A WHILE, AND THEN IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. *AK

I DON'T SUSPECT THAT THIS DEFECT IS SAFETY-RELATED SO MUCH AS JUST A DEFECT, BUT THE WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN ON 3 OF THE WINDOWS IN MY CADILLAC IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS, CAUSING ALL 3 WINDOWS TO BE STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION.

1. (A) MY CADILLAC (DHS-2002) OPERATES IN A DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE MANNER THAT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED NO LESS THAN 16 TIMES TO FIX EQUIPMENT FAILURES, INCLUDING THOSE WHICH COULD BE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES, TO NO AVAIL. (B) THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THOUGH THE BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. (C) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WHEN MAKING TURNS. 2. (A) MY VEHICLE CONTAINS "AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSORS" FOR ITS WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE WIPERS COME ON VIOLENTLY (HIGHEST LEVEL), EVEN WHEN NOT TURNED ON, AND THOUGH IT IS NOT RAINING. THE DANGER IS SUDDEN DISTRACTION, WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN MERGING WITH TRAFFIC AND IN OTHER DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS. THEY ALSO COME ON SUDDENLY WHEN PASSING RADIO TOWERS. THE DATE SET FORTH BELOW IS THE FIRST INCIDENT; IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. (B) THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CREATES FEAR IN THE DRIVER, AS WE ARE UNSURE AS TO IF AND WHEN THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY. IF IT WHERE TO DEPLOY ERRONEOUSLY WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. (C) ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE MAKING TURNS IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STALLED, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. 3. (A) I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER FOR SERVICE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, NOR HAS ANY REPAIR BEEN EFFECTED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE, AND I SUSPECT THAT IT AFFECTS ALL CADILLACS SIMILARLY EQUIPPED. (B) THE AIRBAGS WHERE REPLACED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHICH HAS, AS LEAST TEMPORARILY, SOLVED THE PROBLEM. (C) ON TWO OCCASIONS, SENSORS WERE REPLACED WHICH WHERE ALLEGEDLY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS 5/25/05) THE FOREGOING REPRESENT CRITICAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FAILURES THAT COULD RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENTS. THE INABILITY OF GM TO RESOLVE THE AUTOMATIC WIPER ISSUE, TOGETHER WITH MULTIPLE REPAIRS OF OTHER SENSORS THAT CAUSED MAJOR SYSTEM FAILURES REQUIRES INVESTIGATION INTO THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.
