1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE Complaints

THE DEFECTIVE MIRROR ON THE VEHICLE HAS LIQUID FILLED.THE LOWER HALF OF THE MIRROR APPEARS TO BE NEARLY BLACK IN APPEARANCE AS THOUGH IT IS ALL GATHERED IN THE BOTTOM HALF MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO VIEW AN IMAGE.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT CONTROL MOUNTED INTO BROKEN PLASTIC SEAT PANEL, CAUSES MOVEMENT WHILE DRIVING

IN THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS ALL SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILE PER HOUR. DIFFICULTY WAS EXPERIENCED IN BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP AND STEERING IT TO A SAFE PARKING PLACE. THE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK NOR WOULD ANY OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. IN TWO INCIDENCES THE CAR STARTED AFTER 15 TO 30 MINUTES AND RAN PROPERLY. THE AGENCY'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DETECT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. IN THE LAST INCIDENCE THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE AGENCY. IN EACH CASE THE WEATHER WAS WARM.*AK

ON 6/25/98 I PLACED 4 NEW GOODYEAR TIRES AT 30948MILES. ON 6/22/00 BLOWOUT AT 55MPH LEFT REAR AT 43958 MILES. REPLACED BLOWOUT W/ GOODYEAR TIRE. ON 3/24/01 BLOWOUT LEFT FRONT GOODYEAR . ON 4/13/01 BLOWOUT AT 60MPH LEFT REAR [THE GOODYEAR PLACED ON 8/1/00] AT 48344 MILES. TOO MANY BLOWOUTS...NO INJURIES, BUT LUCKY. DID NOT HIT ROAD HAZARDS. (TIRESIZE: P225/60R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/60R16 )

WATER PUMP SIEZED. THIS CAUSED THE CAMSHAFT TO BREAK. EITHER THE BELT SHOULD HAVE SLIPPED OR BOLTS SHOULD HAVE ACTED AS SHEAR PINS. FAULTY DESIGN CAUSED MAJOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS.

SOON AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, ABS/TRACTION DISABLED MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON AND THE PEDAL WILL KICK BACK. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN MORE THAN 10 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER CHIP AND WIRING HARNESS AND IT STILL OCCURS. SOMETIMES JUST BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE IT HAPPENS. HAVE HAD ONLY ONE PANIC STOP AND THE ABS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK AS THE CAR SKIDDED AND STEERING CONTROL WAS LOST. WE ARE GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT SAFETY ISSUES EXIST. A YEAR LATER, WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER WHO IS SERVICING IT. IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ?

WHILE PROCEEDING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT, EAST BOUND, ANOTHER CAR GOING SOUTHBOUND AT ABOUT 65, HIT CONSUMER'S VEHICLE ALMOST HEAD ON. UPON IMPACT, NEITHER FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, CONSUMER WAS SERIOUSY INJURED. *AK

REAR LEFT TURN SIGNAL FLASHES TOO FAST WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE CHANGED THE FLASHER,REPLACED FUSES BURNED OUT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. HAVE NOTICED OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME TYPE WITH SIMILAR DEFECTS. CONTACTED CADILLAC DEALER TECHNICIAN RECOMEND REPLACE LIGHT SOCKET. *AK

ORIGINAL BATTERY LEAKED ACID ON STARTER CABLES. UNDERSTAND OTHERS HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS. WE WERE LUCKY AND FOUND THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. LEAK WAS SUBSTANTIAL, NOT MINOR.

E POSITIVE TERMINAL MELTED AWAY FROM THE CASE. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO A DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. *AK
