I was driving on 1-26 and exit on north meeting st rd. North charleston sc when the power steering went out the car was difficult to steer the power steering line was damaged due to design defect. The ignition switch locked and car could not start. Brakes traction system light and engine light stay on car used 2qts of oil a month the air conditioner fan wire smell like it was burning after fan quit working.
Car keeps stalling out (at light, while driving, etc) with the cause apparently attributed to a faulty ignition switch. I had the ignition switch replaced (for a charge of $496) at midway cadillac in pokomoke md (after having car towed there on feb 14, 2014, because at that time, had difficulty even getting the key in the ignition switch). The problem I was having with it stalling out persists, even after the new ignition switch. Writing because the ignition-switch-related problems I am having appear to be the same or similar to other gm cars which are currently being recalled due to ignition switch problems. Please include the cadillac deville 2001 into your investigation regarding faulty ignition switches of gm-made cars.
2001 cadillac deville (r) front window will not roll up.
My car failed to start. On checking battery, located under rear passenger seat, I discovered the battery was badly corroded. The battery sits directly on the floor pan beneath passenger seat. On removing the battery I discovered the corrosion had eaten through the floor resulting in a hole one inch in diameter. I had the floor pan repaired and had rinocoat sprayed on to prevent future problems. I feel gm should put a plastic tray under the battery to prevent this problem.
Dt*: the contact stated while navigating slowly through a parking lot the vehicle lost power. After multiple attempts the vehicle was restarted. When the vehicle was restarted the battery warning light came on and went back. The vehicle was driven directly to the dealership. They were unable to identify the cause of the problem through the vehicle's built in diagnostic system.
Engine sudden shut off while driving on high traffic highway resulted in loss of power steering and quick reduction in vehicle speed. Driver made efforts to pull over out the traffic but faster traffic from behind caught up with the disabled vehicle and resulted in number of collisions. In total three vehicles were severe dammaged and two other drivers were injured. Cause of the failure is attributed to failure of the cranck shaft sensor.
Positive terminal on the battery fell off the battery, causing the battery to leak, and burn a hole in the base of the battery compartment inside the vehicle under the back seat. Currently, vehicle has no electrical power. *ak
The engine suddenly stops running while driving with no apparent warning. At that point it is almost impossible to steer and you must stop the car and restart the engine. I have had repeated problems with this and have heard of other cadillac deville owners having this problem. I had my car in to the dealer for the problem last week and it happened to me again today.
While driving 45 MPH vehicle stalled. Consumer managed to pull over and restart the vehicle without a problem. *ak
