1992 CADILLAC Deville Problems & Complaints

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A GAS TANK PROBLEM. WHEN THE GAS TANK WENT DOWN TO 5 OR 6 GALLONS WHILE TURNING A CORNER GAS WOULD NOT CONTINUE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. ALTHOUGH THIS DEFECT OCCURRED WHEN ON THE STRAIGHT AWAY IT WAS MORE OBVIOUS WHEN TURNING THE CORNER. CONSUMER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS QUESTIONING THE CONSUMER ABOUT THE INFORMATION HE RECEIVED CONCERNING THE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. WHILE DRIVING ALONG- VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW UP. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE, HER HUSBAND GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT VEHICLE WAS SMOKING. HUSBAND WENT AROUND, LIFTED THE HOOD, THEN LOOKED AROUND TO THE REAR, AND SAW FIRE COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF VEHICLE. BY THE TIME THEY GOT THE FAMILY OUT OF VEHICLE AND STARTED ACROSSING THE STREET THE VEHICLE WENT UP IN FLAMES. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED, AND THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS THE GAS TANK.*AK

PLASTIC BAFFLE WITHIN GAS TANK BROKE AWAY FROM TANK, CAUSING PLASTIC PIECE TO FLOAT WITHIN THE TANK. IN TURNS OR STOPS PLASTIC BAFFLE WOULD OVER SUCTION PICK UP CAUSING AUTO TO STOP WITHOUT WARNING. THIS ACTION ALSO OVERWORKED FUEL PICK-UP AND CAUSED IT TO MALFUNCTION. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED CADILLAC, CONSUMER HAS REPLACED TANK. *AK *ML

MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON,AND WHEN I HAVE TO STOP SUDDENLY MY CAR SLIDE SIDEWAYS, CAUSING MY BACK END TO GO INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK MY CAR INTO GRAY CHEVY-CADILLIAC OF THE POCONOS.AND DID THE SCANN AND SAID IT WAS THE PUMP MOTOR. I HAD IT CHANGED AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON, AND KNOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ABS MODULE HAS TO BE CHANGED. IT COST ME THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE DOLLARS AND EIGHTY CENTS TO HAVE THE PUMP MOTOR PUT IN AND KNOW IT'S GOING TO COST MORE MONEY TO PUT IN THE ABS MODULE. I FEEL IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AREN'T WORKING,THEN THAT IS A DANGER TO ME OR ANY ONE ELSE OUT THERE.I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A ONCOMING CAR THAT WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD,IF I WOULDN'T HAVE SEEN HIM COMING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HEAD ON COLLISON. *JB

WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE VEHICLE CHECKED FOR LEAKS, THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING, WHICH WAS REPLACED, MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS RELACED AGAIN. *AK CONSUMER STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS D BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, CONSUMER TRADED THE VEHICLE.*SLC

THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT ON FIRE. *JB THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THE INCIDENT MAY BE THE RESULT OF RECALL #94V199000. SCC

WATER PUMP FAILURES SINCE PURCHASE--WATER PUMP REPLACED SIX TIMES

TWO (2) PROBLEMS: IF ENGINE FAILS, FOR ANY REASON, CAR MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACED IN PARK, TO RESTART ENGINE. IN TRAFFIC THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. SECOND, ENGINE QUITS UNDER HARD BRAKING WHEN THERE IS LESS THAN 4 GAL FUEL REMAINING. YES, FUEL FILTER REPLACED. YES, NO WATER IN FUEL SYSTEM. PLEASE ASSIST.8JB

VEHICLE STALLS/ALL FUEL GOES TO ONE SIDE OF TANK. ALSO, THERE IS NO POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES FAILED. *AK FUEL TANK WAS REMOVED WITH NO APPARENT VISABLE PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO AN UNCONTROLLABLE VEHICLE IN A TURN. *YH

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL INFORMATION. WHEN THE CAR WAS FINALLY STOPPED, THE DOORS COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED BECAUSE THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO DRIVE AND THERE ARE NO DOOR LOCK KNOBS AVAILABLE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE. ALSO, NO WINDOWS COULD BE OPERATED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER AVAILABLE TO OPERATE THEM. THE END RESULT WAS THAT PASSENGERS WERE TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR WITH NO WAY TO GET OUT OTHER THAN BREAKING THE GLASS OF ONE OF THE WINDOWS AND UNLOCKING THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE ARE NO OVERRIDE OPTIONS AVAILABLE FROM WITHIN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM. A PERSON WHO IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE CAR ONCE THE POWER STEERING IS LOST (E.G. A SMALL WOMAN, AN ELDERLY PERSON) COULD VERY EASILY HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND IF THE CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN A FIRE, THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE OCCUPANTS TO ESCAPE FROM THE CAR. DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM REVEALED THE BATTERY CABLES HAD APPARENTLY WORKED LOOSE OR HAD NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED AFTER REPLACEMENT OF A CAM SENSOR AT A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS EPISODE. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IS SIGNIFICANTLY DANGEROUS IN THIS VEHICLE AND SERIOUSLY THREATENS THE LIVES OF PASSENGERS AND PUTS THEM IN A VERY HIGH RISK SITUATION. HAD THIS EPISODE HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS DEFECT IS A LIFE THREATENING DESIGN DEFECT AND REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE PRIORITY FIX BY GM. *NLM

BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION (AT ANY SPEED) RESULTS IN IGNITION CUT-OFF AND THE CAR STOPS RUNNING. BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION SHUTS OFF THE IGNITION AND INTERRUPTS ALL ELECTRIC POWER IN THE CAR. PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY.

STARTER FAILED CAUSING CAR TO NOT START. NLM

BATTERY FAILED.

HAVE HAD AUTO IN TO CADILLAC REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES FOR REPLACE OF THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND PROBLEM STILL EXCISTS. MECHANICS ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE REASON FOR PROBLEM OF GAS PEDAL ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. IT CREATES A REAL SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR IN CITY. *AK

MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 35 MILES AND HOUR AND THE ENGINE DROPPED OUT OF THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION OF THE CAR AFTERWARDS, IT APPEARS THAT THE RUBBER BUSHINGS ON FOUR BOLTS FOR THE ENGINE MOUNTS HAD DISINTEGRATED / DRY ROTTED AND THE BOLTS THAT WERE HOLDING THE ENGINE INTO CAR WERE SEVERLY RUSTED WHICH RESULTED IN LETTING THE ENGINE DROP OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR HAD JUST PASSED INSPECTION. THERE WAS NO RUST ON THE BODY OF THE CAR AND ONLY SLIGHT SURFACE RUST ON VERY LITTLE OF THE CARS UNDERCARRAGE. MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR THE DAY BEFORE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU COULD NOT SEE THIS DRY ROT ON THE ENGINE MOUNTS WHEN THE ENGINE WAS MOUNTED IN CORRECT POSITION.

WHILE CHECKING COOLANT HOOD SUDDLENLY WITHOUT WARNING FELL AND LATCHED WITH MY HAND TRAPPED UNDER IT, RESULTING IN SEVERE NERVE AND SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE TO MY LEFT HAND.
