The car has stalled 4 times.. Always at slow speeds.. Every 3-6 months..the dealer cannot duplicate the problem... And nothing shows up in the computer..the last time the car almost roled into a fast moving intersection.. People would have been killed... For sure.. The dealer has seen it all 4 times.. They cant fix it. It is still under factory warranty..I opened a case with cadillac..1-22953970..they dismissed me becasue the dealer could not duplicate the problem..it does not qualify for the michigan lemon law becase I am not the original purchaser..I bought it used from capitol cadillac..this car is not safe to drive.. For me or for someone that I would sell it to..I need help.. Because I beleive it has a manufacturers defect.. I dont know who the original owner was.. Nor if they had this problem.. The first time it happened was 3 months after we bought it.. The manufactuerer and the dealer cant fix it.. And just hope I go away.. Which could happen if we get killed in this car.. I hope someone can help us.. Thanks this car is unsafe.. For anyone.
Engine stalls at highway speeds. Oil consumption excessive. No fix.
Practically every day I have driven my car since may 2001, I have my engine suddenly stop while driving at speeds of a few miles per hour up to 70 MPH. I have also have experienced difficulty in restarting the engine when this stalling happens. I taken it to the cadillac dealer who has serviced my car since the day I bought it. The dealer is martin cadillac, 12101 olympic blvd., los angeles, ca 90064. Since the may 2001 I have taken the car in to martin cadillac to cure this problem, the last time was on dec. 17, 2001. They returned it to me on december 24 and claimed they had found the problem and repaired the car. It is now worse than ever. On two occasions I nearly had an accident because the car stalled while traveling on a busy street. Shortly after getting the car in december while I was driving the car on the freeway, the engine suddenly stopped while I was a transition section that connected one freeway to another. I was frantically trying to restart the engine, but it wouldn't start. Traffic backed up and unfortunatedly a rearend collision resulted several cars behind me. It has now become too dangerous to me, my passengers, and to the cars around me to continue driving this car. In its present condition I cannot sell it. I know this is not a problem unique to my car. Recently I read that the same thing is happening to other gm cars. Probably some of which are cadillacs. My cadillac dealer is unable to correct the problem. They have made at least 4 attempts since may, 2001. I am now going to arbitration to get cadillac to buy back this defective car. The hearing should occur sometime in the next 5 to 6 weeks..
While driving in the rain at low speeds power steering was suddenly lost. This happened on three separate occasions. Also, I heard a high pitched whirring sound as if the serpentine belt was slipping. The dealer's mechanic could find nothing wrong.
While driving vehicle hesitates which may cause a crash. Dealer cannot determine the cause. Please provide further information.
