IT STILL RUNS IT JUST WILL NOT MOVE. THIS MORNING IT CONTINUED TO STOP ACCELERATING. CAUSING SOME REALLY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. LUCKILY I GOT MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOW IT WONT MOVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CADILLAC DEVILLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO SMOKING AND OVERHEATING. THE SENSOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE HEAD GASKET. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RODS AND CRANK SHAFT PLUS THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE PARTS FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALER TO REPLACE THE ENGINE , RODS AND THE CRANK SHAFT. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED AND GETTING AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO PURCHASE THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER BUT THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND WAS WAITING FOR PARTS TO REMEDY THE RECALL REPAIR.

I DROVE UP TO VALLE PARKING, STOPPED TO INSERT VALLE PARKING KEY. IGNITION FROZEN-COULD NOT INSERT KEY. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. COULD NOT CONTACT ONSTAR. EVERYTHING FROZE? CALLED ONSTAR WITH MY CELL PHONE? THEY SENT A WRECKER TO TOW CAR TO CADILLAC DEALER(APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AWAY). CADILLAC ADVISED "IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER JAMMED AND WILL NOT ROTATE". CADILLAC DEALER "CODED AND INSTALLED NEW IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER", FOR WHICH I PAID $632.86. SHOULD THIS BE INCLUDED IN "IGNITION RECALL"? SHOULDN'T I BE REFUNDED THE $632.86 I PAID FOR THESE REPAIRS? *TR

THE PLUG THAT CONNECTS TO THE HEAT/COOL MODULE HAS NOW MELTED ON THE YELLOW/RED WIRE WHICH IS ABOUT A 10GA WIRE. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND ONLINE ARTICLES ABOUT GM HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WHICH CAN RESULT IN A FIRE SINCE THE WIRE GETS HOT IT CAN POSSIBLY IGNITE THE PADDING UNDERNEATH THE SEAT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIX THIS MYSELF IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 47K MILES ON MY CADILLAC AND THE HEAT AND COOL SEATS NO LONGER WORK UNLESS I MAKE THE REPAIRS. *TR

EVERY TIME I PUT GASOLINE IN MY CAR, IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY START. I HAVE TO TRY 2 OR 3 TIMES. *TR

IT IS SETTING IN THE GARAGE, AND I HAVE NO CAR BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SENT A NOTICE THAT IT'S RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE KEY PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE NO PARTS!!! SO, I AM WITHOUT A CAR, IN THE COUNTRY. THEY SHOULD SUPPLY ME A CAR IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT! *TR
