1999 CADILLAC SEVILLE Complaints

1999 CADILLAC STS SEVILLE SEAT BELT BUCKLING DIFFICULTY**CC THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A DESIGN GLITCH AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE ACCELERATOR WOULD STICK AT TIMES AND THE POWER SEATS JAMMED. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THE LENSES TURNED YELLOW AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

CAR STALLED (DIED) WHILE EXITING HWY ON EXIT RAMP; LOST PWR STEERING, BRAKES, AND WAS LUCKY TO COME TO A STOP WITHOUT INJURY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW MONTHS AND DEALERS CANNOT REPEAT OR FIND THE PROBLEM. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, MOSTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY, VEHICLE STALLS & DIES. WHEN THIS OCCURS VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER. HAPPENS EVERY FEW WEEKS; STARTS RIGHT UP AGAIN AFTER COMING TO STOP, BUT IT'S DIFFICULT TO STOP BECAUSE NO POWER BRAKES, STEERING, ETC. VERY DANGEROUS. I WANT THIS TO BE A RECORD OF THE PROBLEM IN CASE I AM KILLED IN ACCIDENT FOLLOWING AN OCCURANCE OF THIS TYPE.

DT: CONTACT STATES WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL DISASSEMBLED FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED EVERYTHING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THERE WAS NO SAFETY CLIP BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER.*AK

DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE SRS LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. THE DRIVER WILL CONTACT THE DEALER IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *AK

I SERVICED MY 1999 CADILLAC SEVILLE IN NOVEMBER 2004. IT ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES AND IS DRIVEN ON FREEWAY ONLY. THE CAR STALLED FOR NO REASON WHEN I LAST DROVE IT AND NOW WILL NOT START. BATTERY IS FINE, POWER KICKS ON BUT ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND. THIS IS FRIGHTENING AS IT DIES WHILE I WAS IN AN INTERSECTION DURING A U-TURN. WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED AND I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER 1/10 (AT MY COST). I THINK THEY SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE. IT WAS NOT SURPRISING TO SEE 7 OTHER COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE SAME YEAR'S MODEL.*AK

PROBLEM INVOLVES FAULTY STEERING RACK, IT HAS RUPTURED SEAL. WHICH PROHIBITS POWER STEERING ASSIST, WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. *BF THE LACK OF POWER STEERING RESTRICTS THE CONSUMERS ABILITY TO TURN TO THE LEFT. *TC *JB
