2004 CADILLAC DEVILLE Complaints

RIGHT FRONT WINDOW DROPPED/BROKE DOWN CAUSING A $500 REPAIR. THREE MONTHS LATTER THE LEFT REAR WINDOW ALSO BROKE CAUSING ANOTHER $500 REPAIR. NOW, IN 2014 THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW HAS BROKEN, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, STARTLING MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILD WITH ANOTHER VERY LOUD BANG! THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM ON A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 48,500 MILES ON IT, AND IS ALWAYS PARKED INSIDE A GARAGE. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING FOR THE FEDS OR GM NOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FAILURE! *TR

ALL FOUR WINDOWS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY FELL DOWN ONE AFTER ANOTHER STARTING A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, AND WILL NOT SAY UP. THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND POPULAR WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. THEY MADE A CRACKLING SOUND AND FELL DOWN FOR NO REASON OF MY OWN. I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $199 TO REPAIR EACH WINDOW. IT IS 2013 AND I STILL HAVEN'T REPAIRED ANY OF THE WINDOWS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO REPAIR THIS FACTORY DEFECT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DISCONCERTING, EMBARRASSING AND A NUISANCE. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT STEER TO RIGHT IN RAIN. DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL ESPECIALLY TO THE RIGHT. ONLY AFTER STOPPING COULD I TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT W/O CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY. MY WIFE HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT I DID NOT THINK IT WAS LIKE THIS. THE DEALER TOLD MY WIFE THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IF SO IT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THE CAR IS AN 04 MODEL AND HAS JUST OVER 51,000 MILES. *TR

VEHICLE OVERHEATED, ENGINE WENT INTO PROTECT MODE, DRIVER INFO CENTER DIRECTED ME TO SHUT DOWN VEHICLE, I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PROMPTLY AND SHUT VEHICLE DOWN. I WAITED FOR 15 MINUTES, TURNED IGNITION TO ON POSITION, AND IT READ IT WAS COOLED DOWN ENOUGH TO DRIVE. I TOOK OFF ONTO THE ROAD AGAIN, A HALF A MILE LATER, I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING. I WAITED 30 MINUTES FOR A SOME ONE TO MEET ME AT THE LOCATION, THIS PERSON RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT 2 MILES TO MY HOUSE, WHERE IT OVERHEATED AGAIN IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER REPLACING THE WATER PUMP, BELTS, THERMOSTAT, AND RADIATOR, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE HEAD BOLTS WERE INDEED WHAT WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THEY WERE AT THE INCORRECT TORQUE AND THAT THERE WAS COMBUSTION CHEMICALS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. I NOW AM REPLACING THE GASKETS, BOLTS, AND MAY HAVE TO GET THE HEADS MACHINED, BUT WORK HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE AS OF YET. *TR

ALL THE WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN DOWN ONE TIME OR ANOTHER IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS! ON JUNE28TH 2011 I REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER REGULATOR. JUST TO HAVE IT FAIL AGAIN UNDER FOUR MONTHS. I ONLY USED THE WINDOW THREE TIMES! I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS YEAR OF CADILLAC POWER WINDOW PROBLEMS AND THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL! THIS IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. IT IS A HUNK OF JUNK!!! THIS LATEST REGULATOR PROBLEM HAPPENED TWO HOURS AGO! OCTOBER 23RD 2011. *TR
