WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50MPH I NOTICED WELL INTO A LEFT VEERING MERGE, THAT MY VEHICLE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. ALL THE ACCESSORIES WERE STILL RUNNING AS FAR AS RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER WHILE THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASH. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN A COCKED POSITION AS WELL AS LOSING THE ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKES. I WAS FORCED TO SLAM THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO THE FLOOR TO GET MY VEHICLE TO STOP BEFORE BEING CRUNCHED FROM ONCOMING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AT 60 TO 80+ MPH. WHILE ALSO TRYING TO AVOID FROM BEING REAR ENDED! ONCE I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE STOPPED I WAS ABLE PLACE IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION. AFTER RESTARTING THE IGNITION THE CAR SEEMED FINE. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM A CADILLAC DEALER I HAD EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD HIT A POT HOLE OR HARD BUMP. I HAD DEALERSHIP AND SEVERAL MECHANICS FROM OTHER GARAGES OVER THE YEARS CHECK FOR ENGINE SHUT DOWN. NO ONE WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. RECENTLY THE NEWS HAS BEEN DISCUSSING ISSUES WITH GENERAL MOTORS IGNITION PROBLEMS. I WENT OUT TO MY VEHICLE AND STARTED IT, PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND SMACKED MY KEY RING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. MY PRIMER KEY RING CONTAINS A LARGE NUMBER OF KEYS WITH WEIGHT TO THEM WHEN I WOULD DROP OF THE VEHICLE I WOULD ALWAYS LEAVE A SINGLE KEY. SINCE THE NEWS BROADCAST I HAVE ONLY USED A SINGLE KEY AND HAVE HAD NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO ADDRESS MY COMPLAINT OR EXAMINE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I SEE NO INFORMATION INDICATING THAT THE CADILLAC MODELS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. ON OF THE MOST CRITICAL INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON A RAINY NIGHT WHILE TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A 4 LANE LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY. I STRUCK A LARGE POTHOLE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. BEING A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THIS ATTEMPT. THERE WAS NO LEFT SHOULDER SO I ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AGAIN AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. THE KEY WAS REMOVED, PLACED BACK INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED A HIGH SPEED REAR END COLLISION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY. *TR

STARTING AROUND SEPTEMBER, MY CAR WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. AFTER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN DIAGNOSTIC FEES, I FOUND SOME CADILLAC FORUMS STATING IT WAS A CRANK SHAFT SENSOR MALFUNCTION, WHICH IS COMMON IN 2003 MODELS. MY CAR WOULD ALSO SHOW THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS OFF WITH NO WARNING, AND NOT GET OUT OF GEAR WHILE BEING ON, WITH NO WARNING AS WELL. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WOULD SHOW LOW OIL PRESSURE AND OTHER WARNINGS ALTHOUGH NOTHING WAS WRONG. AND LASTLY, AT AROUND 78,000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING 70 ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR MAKE A HUGE BANG, AND SMOKE ERUPTED, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT, AND THE CAR WON'T START. I'M BEING TOLD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE ENGINE BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE HEAD GASKET, WHICH ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE FORUMS, TENDS TO BE FAULTY IN THE '03 MODELS. THESE SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE RECALLED IF SO MANY CARS ARE AFFECTED. I'M PAYING OVER 5000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND COSTS FOR THIS. I REFUSE TO EVER LET ANYONE I KNOW, AS WELL AS MYSELF, PURCHASE ANOTHER CADILLAC, UNLESS THIS GETS RESOLVED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT MODERATE SPEED VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND LOOSING POWER. THE ENGINE WAS MISSING ON ONE OR MORE CYLINDERS. DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACING COIL, SPARKPLUG, VALVE COVER GASKETS AND OIL COOLER. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECT MENTIONED IN CAD CTS TSB ID # 1609265 DATED 2005. THIS TSB STATES THAT THE CRANKCASE VAPORS AND ENGINE OIL WILL VENT THROUGH THE CAM/VALVE COVER SEALS WHEN THE CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM BECOMES BLOCKED. THE OIL ON THIS VEHICLE EVIDENTLY VENTED AND LEAKED SEVERAL PLACES INCLUDING INTO THE IGNITION COILS CAUSING A SHORT. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AT HIGH SPEEDS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR IF THE OIL HAD LEAKED ON VERY HOT SURFACES POSSIBLY A FIRE. THE TSB SPECIFIED KITS THAT WERE TO BE INSTALLED TO PREVENTED THIS FROM HAPPENING. EVIDENTLY, THESE WERE NEVER INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE.
