1996 CADILLAC SEVILLE Complaints

ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND BURNS RECEIVED FROM DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HEATER. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND REPAIRS WERE BEING MADE AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

1. ENGINE OVER HEAT, THE CAR HAS OVER 120 TICKET REPAIR, THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES, ENGINE WAS REPLACED TWO TIME, PROGRAM CONTROL MODULE REPLACED 3 TIME, ESC MODULE REPLACED 3 TIMES, REDIATOR WAS FLUSHED, HOSES REPLACED AT MY COST., AFTER REPLACING THE FISRT ENGINE, CAR HEAT UP TO 248F THAT BROKE TIME SERTS, COOLING WAS COMING AS STEAM WILL DRIVING FROM THE ENGINE MADE HARD TO SEE. NOW ENEN AFTER REPLACING THE SECOND ENGINE STILL THE ENGINE WILL HEAT UP QUICKLY IF DRIVING AT LOW SPEAD OR SHORT IDLE OR CLIMIMNG A SHORT HILE. DEALER DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM, CAR THIS YEAR ONLY WAS AT THE DEALER OVER 60 BUSSINES DAY ALONE, AS FOR THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMTION, PRIOR TO REPLACING THE ENGINE, THE ENGILE WILL CONSUM 1 QTR PER 1000 MILE, THE CAR WILL GIVE AN INDICATION OF ADDING OIL AFTER 2000 MILES BEFORE I GET THE CHANCE TO CHANGE OIL. CURRENTLY HAVE A NEW ENGINE, DON'T KNOW IF THE PROBLEM RESOLVED YET. THERE WAS NO LEAK OF OIL

CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING INJURY. HAVE CONTACTED CADILLAC, AND FINALLY THROUGH ESIS THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WORKED PERFECTLY BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I DISAGREE.

INPUT SPEED SENSOR FAILURE CAUSE ENGINE RACING, ROUGH SHIFTING AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON THE DRIVERS INFO CENTER.*ET

BEFORE GOING ON THIS TRIP WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TRACTION CONTROL. DRIVING ON A WET HIGHWAY DURING RAIN ALL OF SUDDEN VEHICLE STARTED DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT. DIDN'T APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT TRIED TO TURN WHEEL TO LEFT, AND IT HAD NO EFFECT. DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON WHEN CAR GETS HEATED UP. *AK

A/C HAS LACK OF COOLANT UNDER HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. CONSUMER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED & THERE WAS 50,1000 MILES ON VEHICLE. *AK *ML

HEADLIGHTS FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE DEFECT. A MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED, AND SO FAR THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REOCCURRED. *AK *ML

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THE FACT THAT THE FUEL FILTER IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRAME JUST INCHES FROM THE FRONT BUMPER. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS NEEDS IMEDIATE ATTENTION. ALSO, MY SEATBACK BROKE IMMEDIATALY AFTER IMPACT WHICH RENDERED MY SHOULDER HARNESS USELESS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS STEERING LOCKS UP. DEALER CLAIMS THAT POWER STEERING BELTS SLIP IN THE RAIN *AK

THE LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT GETS FOGGED UP DUE TO MOISTURE AND WATER GETTING INSIDE OF THE LENS. DEALER SAYS CADILLAC WONT LET THEM CHANGE IT. THE ONLY SHORT TERM SOLUTION IS TO BLOW DRY THE LIGHT. *AK
