1. (a) my cadillac (dhs-2002) operates in a dangerous and defective manner that could cause accidents. I have had the vehicle serviced no less than 16 times to fix equipment failures, including those which could be major safety issues, to no avail. (b) the airbag warning light has come on two separate occasions, though the bag never deployed. (c) the vehicle suddenly stalled when making turns. 2. (a) my vehicle contains "automatic rain sensors" for its windshield wipers. The wipers come on violently (highest level), even when not turned on, and though it is not raining. The danger is sudden distraction, which could easily cause an accident when merging with traffic and in other dangerous driving situations. They also come on suddenly when passing radio towers. The date set forth below is the first incident; it continues to happen. (b) the airbag warning light creates fear in the driver, as we are unsure as to if and when the airbag will deploy. If it where to deploy erroneously while we were driving, the results could be catastrophic. (c) on two occasions, while making turns in traffic, the vehicle stalled, which could have LED to a serious accident. 3. (a) I have returned the vehicle to my dealer for service on numerous occasions. No parts have been replaced, nor has any repair been effected. It appears that this is a systemic issue, and I suspect that it affects all cadillacs similarly equipped. (b) the airbags where replaced on two occasions which has, as least temporarily, solved the problem. (c) on two occasions, sensors were replaced which where allegedly the cause of the problem (last time this occurred was 5/25/05) the foregoing represent critical electronic system failures that could result in fatal accidents. The inability of gm to resolve the automatic wiper issue, together with multiple repairs of other sensors that caused major system failures requires investigation into the safety of this vehicle.
2002 Cadillac Deville visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer complaining about the design of the accelerator pedal being close to the brake pedal. Mr the consumer states that it causes additional seconds to get his foot on the brake pedal from the accelerator pedal. The consumer also states that the same maneuver happens when his right foot hits the end of the side vertical panel. Scc when looking in the rear view mirror, consumer can only see one quarter of the bottom horizontal view. On a sunny day, the illuminated numbers on the dash are not visible and requires repeated glances to obtain an accurate reading. The passenger door handle is difficult to reach for closing once it has been opened.
The windshield of the vehicle is severely distorted. I have been having severe headaches and medical problems due to this windshield. It has affected my health. I have been seen by numerous doctors in various fields. The distortion in this windshield has caused poor visibility and unsafe driving conditions.
Consumers wife entered the vehicle. The seats, mirror and steering are supposed to respond to her key fab as programmed, but it did not. Trying to attempt it manually did not work either. The vehicle was taken to the service dept. Who found a module under the drivers seat had shorted out and blew a fuse.
Turn signals do not turn off after making a turn, consumer has to either turn them off manually or turn the wheel 90 degrees. Dealer stated that's the way turn signals are designed.*jb consumer took vehicle to norwood cadillac where its service writer informed consumer that the turn signals were designed that way and that all vehicles of this model operated in the same manner. Nothing was done because of the design. The hood bounces and flutters at highway speeds only. The hood bumpers and panel were not adjusted. They were aligned and adjusted. Also, when the wipers are in delay mode, the operation is erratic. Consumer was informed that the windshied and wipers are water sensitive. The wipers will speed up if the windshield is very wet.
Loud intermitent grinding noise hear when steering turned when backing outand turning wheel car driven less than 100 miles. As car milage increases noise is becoming more constent. Windshield the rubber gaskets on both sides is installed on top of the glass instead of in the groves provided.this allows road salt and other debris to accomulate at bottom corners of windshield. This causes a messey appearance and will eventually cause corrosion. In the event of an accident the windshield may pop out degrading the body integrity. Poor alignment. All points with the exception of the rear camber could be adjusted to specifications except the rear camber.
