WE DROVE THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION TO WALMART. WE WERE IN THE STORE FOR APPROX. 15-30 MINUTES BEFORE RETURNING TO VEHICLE, USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE CAR. UPON ENTERING THE CAR, WE COULD NOT INSERT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION- THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WAS STILL ENGAGED. WE TRIED EVERYTHING WE COULD THINK OF- LOCK AND UNLOCK WITH KEY FOB, LOCK AND UNLOCK WITH KEY IN DOOR, UNPLUG BATTERY AND PLUG IT BACK IN, AND EVEN TRYING TO LUBE UP THE IGNITION PIECES TO SEE IF THEY WERE JUST STUCK- AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. IT'S NOW AN OVER-SIZED PAPERWEIGHT SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OF OUR APARTMENT COMPLEX. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY DEVILLE FOR 31/2 YRS. 33,600MILES WHEN I BROUGHT IT. I HAVE REPLACED REGULATORS IN THREE WINDOWS AND AT THIS TIME THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG WITH THESE WIINDOWS. I AM ON DISABITY. NEED NOT SAY NO MORE ON THAT. BUT I FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. AT THIS I HAVE 71,00 MILES AND I LOVE MY CAR, ORIGINAL PAINT JOB GREAT,NO DAMAGES ON MY CAR. I TAKE GREAT CARE CAUSE IT HAS TO LAST ME. ALSO I HAVE ONSTAR AND I MUST SAY IT WASN'T WORTH ALL THE MONEY I PUT ON. I YOU REFUND MY FUNDS SERIOUSLY. OH YES I HAVE REPLACE TWO WINDOWS TWICE THIS WILL THE 3RD TIME. YOU RECIEVED THE MONEY FOR THESE CARS. "DO YOU THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PRODUCT..TELL ME"? THIS REPLACEMEMENT SHOULD BE ON YOU GUYS, WHAT YOU SAY!....THANK YOU VERY MUCH! *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY. IT FREQUENTLY HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAYS WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, BUT WAS NOT NECESSARILY CONFINED TO FREEWAY DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ON SIDE STREETS AND WHILE CROSSING THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND INTERSECTIONS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR DEALER. THEY TOLD US REPEATEDLY THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. BETWEEN OCTOBER 2013 AND JAN/FEB 2014 WE SPENT OVER $2,000 FOR DIFFERENT PARTS THE DEALER THOUGHT WAS THE PROBLEM. TO BE FAIR, PART OF THE MONEY WAS SPENT FOR BRAKES AND OTHER SERVICE. MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY JAN. 28, 2014 AND THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERS. IT STILL WASN'T FIXED. I ASKED THEM TO PLEASE KEEP THE CAR AND SEE IF THEY COULD FIND WHY THE STALLING WAS HAPPENING. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND CALLED AND SAID THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD ONLY CHARGE ME FOR PARTS AND NOT LABOR. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST. I, TOO HAD PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS FALLING DOWN. *TR

Mileage: 54,000

ALL FOUR WINDOWS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY FELL DOWN ONE AFTER ANOTHER STARTING A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, AND WILL NOT SAY UP. THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND POPULAR WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. THEY MADE A CRACKLING SOUND AND FELL DOWN FOR NO REASON OF MY OWN. I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $199 TO REPAIR EACH WINDOW. IT IS 2013 AND I STILL HAVEN'T REPAIRED ANY OF THE WINDOWS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO REPAIR THIS FACTORY DEFECT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DISCONCERTING, EMBARRASSING AND A NUISANCE. *TR

MY CADILLAC DEVILLE 2004 WINDOWS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED FIRST IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL ALL THE WAY DOWN COULD NOT GET TO GO UP THEN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE MADE A CRACKING SOUND SO I PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CRACK THEN TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS WOW I HAVE NEVER SEEN A GOOD CAR LIKE CADILLAC HAVE SO MANY WINDOW PROBLEMS SO NOW THAT I GOT THESE 2 FIXED MY MECHANIC SAYS MAYBE EXERCISE YOUR WINDOWS EVERY TIME YOU GET IN CAR SO I DID THEN IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE BACK THAT GOT STUCK AND THEN THE OTHER WENT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS ALL I DID WAS MAKING MY WINDOW S GO UP AND DOWN I LIVE IN THE DESERT ON A DIRT ROAD SO MY WINDOWS NEVER GO DOWN AT 250 DOLLARS PER WINDOW THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

1. THERE IS NO WARNING THE CAR JUST SLOW DOWN AT ANY SPEED AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. 2. IT HAPPEN ALL DAY LONG AND OTHER DAYS NO PROBLEM. 3. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO ONE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND ONCE IN VA. EACH TIME THEY EITHER DID NOTHING OR THEY GUEST AT IT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. NOW THEY REFUSE TO WORK ON IT UNTIL IT TOTALLY BREAKS DOWN. HOWEVER, THE EMPLOYEE OF THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE CHARGED MY WARRANTY COMPANY AT LEAST 5,000 AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO PAY ANY MORE MONEY FOR GUESSING. THEREFORE THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING ME TO PAY 94.00 AN HOUR SO THEY CAN GUESS SOME MORE. LASTLY, I WAS TOLD WHEN LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THAT I DECLINED FURTHER DIAGNOSIS WHICH IS NOT TRUE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBLE MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND IF THAT'S THE CASE THEY ARE WAITING FOR A MAJOR CAR FIRE BEFORE THEY TRY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN THAT CASE IT COULD BE TO LATE FOR ME, MY GIRLFRIEND AND HER CHILDREN. ONE OR ALL OF US COULD BE KILLED IN A ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR 04/27/2007, AND THE LAST INCIDENT WAS 07/07/2009. *TR UPDATED 01/13/10. *JB
