1995 CADILLAC DEVILLE Complaints

THE FUEL RAIL IN MY 1995 CADILLAC CONCOURS HAS STARTED TO LEAK GASOLINE. I AM INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THANKS, LARRYR.

SEVERE VIBRATION BETWEEN 50 TO 80 MI. PER HOUR. HAVE SPENT OVER $1000.00 TO TRY TO REMEDY PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYMORE AND IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE IS ALSO A VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. IT COMES FROM EITHER SIDE AND POSSIBLY CHASSIS. AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS STRUTS OR BEARINGS. COMPLETE FRONT END REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE NOISE. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT EITHER. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH CHANGING GEAR SHIFT FROM PARKING TO REVERSE OR DRIVE ON AN INCLINE. SOMETIMES IT JAMS AND HAS TO BE JERKED VERY HAD TO GO INTO GEAR. OTHER TIMES IT SLIPS FROM GEAR TO ANOTHER. HAVE REPLACED BRAKES 2 TIMES. STILL HAS SHUDDER UPON PRESSING BRAKES REGARDLESS OF SPEED. AN OFFENSIVE ODOR LIKE ROTTEN EGGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN USING AIR CONDITIONER. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FOUND THIS A LOT IN THIS CERTAIN VEHICLE. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX. IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. OWNER BEFORE ME HAS ALREADY REPLACE THE IGNITION MODULE. A DEALERSHIP SAID ANOTHER MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FUEL PUMP WIRES WERE BURNED AND REPLACED BY PREVIOUS OWNER. BATTERY CABLES ALSO SHORTED OUT AND WERE REPLACED ON 8/29/03. BATTERY CONTINUES TO BE DRAINED IF VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN STARTED WITHIN A 3 DAY PERIOD. *CB

THE DRIVER'S SIDE CHROME WHEEL CRACKED AND ALLOWED AIR TO SEEP OUT. THIS COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, ACCORDING TO THE CONSUMER. *AK AIR HAD TO BE PLACED IN THE TIRE EVERY DAY AND RUINED THE TIRE WELL. CADILLAC HAD BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *SCC *JB

THE WIRE TO THE FUEL TANK OVER HEATED AND CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO FAIL. *JB UPDATED 12-12-07. *KB THE FUEL PUMP HARNESS HAD MELTED. UPDATED*JB

CAR LOSES DETONATION AND WON'T ALWAYS RESTART RIGHT AWAY. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS. OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE STILL WORKING. CAR STALLS. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS HAPPENED ONCE GOING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. *JB

FUEL PUMP FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE NOT TO START.*AK THE INSULATION AROUND FUEL PUMP WIRES, THAT PROVIDED POWER TO THE ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMP, PARTIALLY MELTED. SINCE THE WIRE ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION. *TS *NLM

CONSUMER DOES NOT FEEL SAFE WITH VEHICLE DUE TO UNEXPECTED POWER FAILURE. HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO SELL VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS HAD REPAIRS ON THE FOLLOWING: WATER PUMP, FUEL SYSTEM, AND IGNITION MODULE. NONE OF WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM). DEALER WANTED TO GIVE THE CONSUMER A $1000.00 OWNER LOYALTY CERTIFICATE WHICH COULD BE USED UPON THE TRADE OF A NEW VEHICLE. BUT THE CONSUMER FELT THAT WAS INADEQUATE AND TRADED THE VEHICLE IN ON HIS OWN TERMS AFTER HAVING NUMEROUS DIFFICULTIES W/VARIOUS DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVES(STATED IN LETTER). CONSUMER EXPECTS TO RECEIVE A REFUND OF THE MONIES HE HAD SPENT ON GETTING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. *SCC...*AK

PASSENGER'S FRONT SEAT BELT TIGHTENED PASSENGERS' WAIST WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UNLATCH. DRIVER TRIED TO ASSIST PASSENGER, BUT, LAP PORTION OF BELT CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN. DRIVER HAD TO GET SCISSORS TO CUT THE BELT. FOR SOME REASON BUCKLE ALSO WOULDN'T UNLATCH. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *AK

CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. THE WIRING HARNESS HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MELTED THE INSULATION ON SOME OF THE WIRES DESTROYING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR UNDER THE FUEL OUTLET LINES INSIDE OF THE TANK. THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FIRE USED TO STALL UNTIL IT QUIT ENTIRELY. AFTER CONSUMER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, HE NOTICED THE OLD FUEL PUMP WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE WIRING HARNESS HAD FAILED BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. *JG

IN-TANK FUEL PUMP UNIT MOTOR FAILURE CAUSED A HIGH-CURRENT DRAW. PRIOR TO FUSE BLOWING, IN-TANK WIRING BECAME HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE WIRE INSULATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION. HAD THE WIRE COME OFF THE TERMINAL AND CREATED A SPARK, THE RESULTING EXPLOSION COULD HAVE KILLED THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS.*JB
