I BOUGHT A CADILLAC SEVILLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER, IT VIBRATE WHEN I DRIVE IT. THE WHOLE CAR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING IT ON A SMOOTH ROAD. THE CAR DEALER REPLACE THE TIRES, TIE-RODE, LOWER BALL JOINTS, AND STEERING ARM OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT AND DONE AN ALIGNMENT ON ALL THE WHEELS. IT STILL IS VIBRATING TO THIS DAY. THEY SAY THEY CAN 'T DUPLICATE THE VIBRATION, AND DON'T WANT TO RIDE WITH ME TO SHOW ME WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING NORMAL AND I CAN SHOW THEM WHAT I AM FEEL AS ABNORMAL. THEY EVEN TOOK IT TO AT THE CADILLAC DEALER AND THEY DONE SOME EXPENSIVE MACHINE BALANCING ON THE TIRES AND IT STILL DOES IT. ONE MECHANIC SAID THAT I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS OR TO GET IT FIXED. THAT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD TO ME AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY INJURES OR DEATH RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER I DON'T WANT TO THE FIRST. *NM

VISIBILITY

1 complaint

Sunroof flew off while driving. The adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame debonded and the sunroof glass completely separated from the vehicle. Webasto Hollandia 700 series sunroof, Serial Number 0524386. A recall was already done for this defective product but Webasto will not fix this one because they claim this sunroof is a "different series" than what is covered by the recall, which is supposed to start with 06. I think this is just an excuse to get out of fixing the vehicle. The vehicle has no interior roof other than the small fabric slider that was there to protect the glass. The contact stated that Webasto finally agreed to send a replacement but the cost of the repair was not covered.

FUEL/IGN STARTING PROBLEMS ________________________________________ I HAVE A 2001 CADILLAC SEVILLE SLS THAT HAS BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. PRESENTLY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BUILD-UP FUEL PRESSURE IN ORDER TO START TO 41-47 PSI UNLESS I REMOVE THE REAR FUSE/RELAY BOX IGN 1 MICRO RELAY. WITH THIS RELAY REMOVED, I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP BUILD-UP THE REQUIRED PSI AND THEN I CONFIRM THE BUILD-UP OF THAT PSI BY LOOKING AT MY TEST FUEL PSI GAUGE UNDER THE HOOD, THE CAR THEN STARTS NO PROBLEM, AND RUNS NO PROBLEM WITH RELAY NOT INSTALLED. WHENEVER I RE-INSTALL THIS MICRO RELAY THE FUEL SYS WILL NOT BUILD-UP THE REQUIRED PSI, IT JUST STAYS AT 0 PSI, AND OF COURSE IT WILL NOT START. I JUST REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT ASSY PLUS FUEL FILTER TODAY. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 25 SOUTHBOUND AND DOING 75 MPH AND THE ENGINE JUST DIED, QUIT RUNNING AND WOULD NOT RE-START. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED HOME, THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO TROUBLESHOOT MY CADILLAC AND THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP WITH THE IGN 1 RELAY REMOVED. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER I ALREADY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSY THINKING IT WOULD FIX PROBLEM AND IT DID NOT! TODAY WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING AGAIN AND I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE FRONT END AND THE CAR SHOOK ALSO. I HAD TO FIND SOME SHOULDER ROOM, PULLED OVER, REMOVED IGN1 RELAY AGAIN AND THE CAR RE-STARTED NO PROBLEM AND I CONTINUED ON DRIVING TO WORK. *TR

WE PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TUTWILLER CADILLAC IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA IN 2001. IT IS AT 46,000 MILES NOW AND IS THANKFULLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS RANGING FROM COMPUTER TO POWER STEERING. LAST WEEK MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TCC SOLENOID. THEY ALSO SAID THE TURBINE SHAFT SEALS WERE LEAKING. THEY RECEIVED MY CAR ON OCT. 27TH AND RETURNED IT TO ME ON OCT. 29TH. NO SOONER THAN 20 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME BACK ON! I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE AIR INJECTION PUMP AND REPLACED IT. I RECEIVED IT BACK ON OCT. 30TH. YESTERDAY, NOV. 6TH I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GRINDING IN THE FRONT. IT CAME UNSTUCK AFTER APPROX. 10 SECONDS OR SO. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME THE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM CAME ON. (IT WAS ON LAST WEEK TOO, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND THAT THE LIGHT WENT OFF.) I ASKED THAT A WRECKER TAKE MY CAR THIS TIME, BECAUSE I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. AS OF TODAY I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS DEALERSHIP AND CADILLAC. I AM SURE TUTWILLER HAS COMPUTER RECORDS OF HOW MANY TIMES THEY HAVE SERVICED THIS CAR!
