In september of 2014, I received a recall from the state of massachusetts about (1) part that must be repaired in my 2003 cadillac deville sedan: (1) ignition switch 14v355000, the only recall showing up on the gm web-site is the ignition switch and the other three and the first are listed here totaling (4) recalls all together! After entering my make, model, year, and VIN, of my vehicle I received three more urgent recalls ! (2) fuel tank pressure sensor 03v238000, (3) driver air bag 03v051000, and the (4) air bag inflator 02v222000. During a recorded phone conversation an agent and a manager at/from (gm) general motors stated that they do no honor any recalls from or any other web-site as they are "not valid" but their own @gm.com. These are serious recalls that require immediate attention and validation by gm before they are sued for much more than simple repairs! I thank you for your time! Blessings!

For the second time in about one month, the engine died and electric power went out (dashboard lights). The car restarted without difficulty when I pulled off the road and put it into park. We received a recall notice on this vehicle in august. After the first incident I carefully checked the battery cables and found nothing wrong. The battery is almost new. After getting the recall notice I checked the operation of the ignition switch and I found that the detent works perfectly. I had turn the key ccw by a large amount to turn off the engine and no amount of jiggling would cause the fault. Two different keys were involved in the two episodes. There is no possibility that my failures are related to weight hanging on the key.even so I asked the local dealer as well as the gm hotline when they can install the "fixes" and I was told that no parts may be available for months. About two weeks ago a person on the gm hotline promised to find a dealer with parts and call me back but did not do so. I have no confidence that gm will solve my problem with their recall fix, if and when it is executed, and fear that there is another common cause for the many failures that have been reported.

A recall letter was sent to me, I contacted to gm to let them know their recall was a little too late and luckily I was not on the road when this happened I was in a store parking lot when this occurred. I experienced complete loss of brakes,steering and electrical. I thought it was a battery issue. I purchased a new battery. I had to carry the battery 3 miles each way, it was not the battery .car was towed, repairs were found to be ignition problem and a module needed to be replaced, costing over $800, how do I get reimbursed for this? Gm said they would get back to me and its been 3 weeks,I have heard nothing. I would appreciate your help. I have all the receipts and had we been told of the recall a big expense might of been saved,how do I get some sort of claim form to get reimbursed?
It is setting in the garage, and I have no car because I've been sent a notice that it's recalled because of the key problem, but they have no parts!!! So, I am without a car, in the country. They should supply me a car if they can't fix it!
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 cadillac deville. The contact stated while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled and all of the lights in the instrument panel illuminated.

The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
I was driving at approximately 60 mhp on i77 north - without notice of any kind it became very difficult to steer my vehicle and I lost control as well as all power & acceleration. All of this happened so fast but I looked down and noticed several dash board/warning lights on. These lights normally only go on for a second or so when starting the car. Having no power or acceleration I was able to navigate my car to the side of the road with out an accident but immediately noticed that my ignition was already turned off. The ignition key was not all the off - just in the position as if I was parked and wanted to listen to the radio. Once pulled over I placed the car in "park" turned the key all the way off and restarted the car. It started right up. However, now both my "service engine soon light" and "air bag" light stays illuminated at all times. They do not go out once the car is started. I am not able to notice any difference in the performance or handling at this time but am concerned with the lights remaining on at all times when driving as well as the safety of the air bags.

Engine shuts off without warning, sometimes when stopped and/or while moving.this has happened about 4 times in the last year. Suspect a defect ignition switch and/or a crankshaft position sensor.
The wheel monitoring light continues to indicate a malfunction. The ignition switch slot prevents me from removing the key. To remove the ignition key, I have to manipulate the gear handle in order align the extraction of the key.
The engine turned off and I lost power steering and power brakes. The engine restarted ok after the incident.
