2004 Cadillac Deville engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This car has continually stalled out at different speeds. I was told it was the throttle position sensor so I replaced that. That seemed to fix it temporarily but just yesterday I was driving on the highway and the car completely cut off going 55mph plus. The car completely stalled died out and I had no control over anything. Had this happened in the fast lane with more traffic my death would have been on the news. I want this fixed at no cost to me as this is ludicrous this car has such a defect. I buy a high end luxury car for high end luxury not to be in a pinto type death trap. I want this documented so others also know about this issue as dealer should know about issue and not being able to replicate results is bs as I stated it doesn't happen often but at random times. Car starts up right after the stall but the stall is the horrific issue!
My last oil change, I was told that I had a leak in the block and that only the dealership could fix. I was also told to be ware that the cost would be very expensive.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 cadillac deville. While driving approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted and resumed normally. The failure recurred seven times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing ut registered no trouble codes. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Vehicle overheated, engine went into protect mode, driver info center directed me to shut down vehicle, I pulled off to the side of the road promptly and shut vehicle down. I waited for 15 minutes, turned ignition to on position, and it read it was cooled down enough to drive. I took off onto the road again, a half a mile later, I had to do the same thing. I waited 30 minutes for a some one to meet me at the location, this person restarted the vehicle and drove it 2 miles to my house, where it overheated again in the driveway. After replacing the water pump, belts, thermostat, and radiator, it was discovered that the head bolts were indeed what was causing the vehicle to overheat. The mechanic found that they were at the incorrect torque and that there was combustion chemicals in the cooling system. I now am replacing the gaskets, bolts, and may have to get the heads machined, but work has not been completed on the vehicle as of yet.
The engine just stops, no warning no lights has you slow down the engine will just come to a stop. This has happened in both cold and hot weather about a 1/2 dozen times. Dealer has not been able to locate a problem.

2004 cadillac deville. As second owner of this car vibration of front end over 60 MPH continued. Rotation of tires did not fix the problem. Alignment did. New problem: coolant leak, the source of which could not be located after three trips to shop. Stop leak added on first trip; not effective. 2nd trip to cadillac dealer, dex added. Seems to do the job. For how long? Still feels unsafe for long-distance driving. Ok for in town.
Dt: leased vehicle has stopped for no reason 3 times in traffic. No indication of problems, no dashboard lights lit before vehicle stopped. The vehicle just stopped dead cold with no warning. Consumer has been in contact with dealer 3 times and taken the car in for service, the dealer could not fix the vehicle, and the vehicle has a vehicle data recorder on board. That still has not helped and problem still has not been fixed. Made a complaint to the bbb. Gm customer service and they denied the consumer's complaint. The consumer has every printout from the dealer that states the problems. The car has a pattern of problems. *nm
