I purchased a new 1992 4 door cadillac brougham. At present the car has 45,000 miles. All 4 drs automatically lock when the gear shift is engaged. Problem: starting around mid-december, 2005 and through march 30, 2006, all 4 drs automatically unlocked while the car was in motion. This happened about 4-5 times in this time period. Other than the doors unlocking, there were no other operational problems. On march 31, 2006, all 4 drs unlocked again. This time, about one (1) minute after the doors unlocked, the engine shut down leaving me with no power brakes or steering. Trying to maneuver a powerless car with no foot brakes and difficulty with steering amongst other vehicular traffic to a stop along the side of a one lane road is a scary situation! After doing so, I noticed a lit dash light indicating "no charge." when the car was at a full stop, I put the gear shift in park and turned off the ignition. Not knowing what else to do at that time, I tried to restart the car. The car started, no warning dash lights came on so I drove it home. The car was fully operational on the way back home. Please advise if this is a problem common to this make and model vehicle. And certainly notify all other owners of this very scary, unsafe and dangerous operating problem!
