The car would die out, and you have no power anything. Put it in neutral and you could restart it. Solution was to replace two sensors that cost about $400. This also happened on a 2001 cadillac deville, I had in 2012, and had to replace sensors. About $400. Again. All repairs were done a chevy dealer dekalb/sycamore chevy. This a similar problem to the keys in the ignition. The car engine just die and no power anything. The repairs are in the dealer records. I would like my money back.

The ignition switch on our 2002 dhs cadillac went out in april, 2014; mileage 91,000. We live in cove, oregon. We had to have it towed fro,m our garage 15 miles to legacy ford in lagrande, oregon. The total cost was towing 152.00, ignition switch installation 295.65. Due to the recent recall on ignition switches to so many other gm vehicles it seem reasonable to me that it is possible our cadillac could be part of this recall. I would appreciate this notification being included in the recall.
At around 11:35 am, as I was turning left from prairie street into the far south entrance of krogers' supermarket. The cadillac's engine just stopped running. I was unable to turn the steering wheel fast enough to complete the turn without jumping the curb. After completing the turn, I placed the car into neutral and hit the starter a few times. The engine cranked but failed to start the first few attempts (at least I think). I was about to start my process of exiting the car, when I noticed the tachometer showing 600 RPM. I was really hesitate to drive the vehicle any further, so we proceeded to do our grocery shopping. I removed the ignition key from the car's entry remote and my cluster of personal keys. After stowing the groceries and checking my computer files for the previous reported cadillac's problem concerning onstar disabling it in august 2008. I made some operational checks of the ignition switch. I really have my doubts that the weight on the key would cause such a malfunction, unless the ignition control circuitry is grossly designed.

For years I have been frustrated by the lack of rear illumination of gm vehicles during rain or fog driving conditions. Drivers seem to think that they do not need to turn on headlights because they have daytime running lights. They probably do not realize that the drl's only illuminate the front of their vehicle. Gm should inform drivers that when headlights are required, daytime running lights do not suffice.
Engine fire.
