2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE Complaints

DT: WHEN PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. DID NOT HAVE BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. IT DID THIS ANYTIME WHEN DRIVING BELOW 35 MPH. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GMC DEALER 6 TIMES. THEY HAVE CHANGED EGR VALVE, INSTALLED A RECORDER FOR 20 DAYS, CLEANED PISTON WASHERS, THEY FLUSHED FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHANGED CRANK SHAFT SENSORS . BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. THE PROBLEM STARTED ON AUGUST 20, 2003. *AK *JB

THE COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. I PURCHASED A 2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE SLS WITH 29000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT HAD A TERRIBLE VIBRATION THAT COMES THROUGH THE SEAT AND THE STEERING WHEEL. I BALANCED THE TIRES 3 TIMES, ALIGNED IT, REPLACED ROTORS AND FINALLY REPLACED THE CADILLAC WHEELS AND TIRES THAT CAME ORIGINALLY FROM THE FACTORY. THE VIBRATIONS ARE THE SAME. ACCORDING TO A WEB SITE I FOUND, AT LEAST SEVEN OTHER SEVILLES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1500 SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 04 AND HAVE NOT FOUND THAT TIRES AND WHEELS ARE THE PROBLEM. THE CAD DEALER HAS NOT A CLUE AS TO WHAT TO DO FOR ME. CADILLAC CASE NUMBER IS 1-2943339661. *AK *SC *JB

WHERE THE BRAKE LINE IS NEAR THE ENGIVE A HOLE WORE THROUGH METALLIC LINE, LOSING BRAKE FLUID. VEHICLLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME OF BRAKE FAILURE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CRANK SENSOR. *AK

I HAD A PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED AND THAT IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WERE TURNED BACK IN OCTOBER 2003. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND THE PROBLEM MUST BE THE ROTORS. THE DEALER STILL DOESN'T CLAIM THAT IT'S A DEFECT BUT I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR ACT LIKE THIS. THE CAR IS A 2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE. *AK

THE DRIVER 'S SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT. THE DRIVER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE SEAL BELT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. *NM

I OWN A 2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE, MODEL STS THAT HAS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED SEVEN TIMES AT TWO DEALERSHIPS. THREE SETS OF TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS TO NO EFFECT. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE A ROCK HIT UNDERNETH AND THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS AT LEAST 10 TIMES SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM ARISES AFTER TRAVELING AT LEAST 70 MILES, THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED WHILE SLOWING DOWN ON THE EXPRESSWAY, GETTING OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND ALSO WHILE GOING AROUND A CORNER.*JB

VEHICLE WILL START TO SHAKE WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MPH. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *AK THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DEALER TRIED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A NEW DRIVESHAFT, A NEW WINSHIELD WAS APPLIED DUE TO A CHIP IN THE INSIDE OF WINDSHIELD, THE WHEEL HAD BEEN BENT/REPLACED, BALANCED/ALIGNED AND ADDED A NEW RIM, AND SUPPOSEDLY A NEW SET OF TIRES FROM CADILLAC-BUT HAD THE SAME MARKINGS OF THE OLD TIRES/SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF. WITH ALL REPAIR AND MAINTENENCE MADE ON THE VEHICLE, THE VIBRATION STILL EXSISTS AND SEEMS TO GET WORSE(THE LONGER THE TRIP AND WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES/STRAIGHTENING OUT). THE ENGINE WHINES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND DECREASES WHEN SLOWED, ALSO THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A BIG CLUNK NOISE AND LUNGES WHEN IT FIRST SHIFTS. *SCC
