Mileage: 81,000

WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH VEHICLE STALLED. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK

THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON ALL CADILLAC SEVILLE'S DUE TO THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS RETAINING MOISTURE WHICH CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS.CADILLAC USE TO REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHTS INSTEAD OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM WHICH LATER WILL CAUSE THE LIGHTS NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND FLASH FASTER AND THEN WILL SHORT THE SOCKET OR WIRING.*AK

IN THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS ALL SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILE PER HOUR. DIFFICULTY WAS EXPERIENCED IN BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP AND STEERING IT TO A SAFE PARKING PLACE. THE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK NOR WOULD ANY OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. IN TWO INCIDENCES THE CAR STARTED AFTER 15 TO 30 MINUTES AND RAN PROPERLY. THE AGENCY'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DETECT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. IN THE LAST INCIDENCE THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE AGENCY. IN EACH CASE THE WEATHER WAS WARM.*AK

SOON AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, ABS/TRACTION DISABLED MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON AND THE PEDAL WILL KICK BACK. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN MORE THAN 10 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER CHIP AND WIRING HARNESS AND IT STILL OCCURS. SOMETIMES JUST BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE IT HAPPENS. HAVE HAD ONLY ONE PANIC STOP AND THE ABS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK AS THE CAR SKIDDED AND STEERING CONTROL WAS LOST. WE ARE GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT SAFETY ISSUES EXIST. A YEAR LATER, WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER WHO IS SERVICING IT. IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ?

ORIGINAL BATTERY LEAKED ACID ON STARTER CABLES. UNDERSTAND OTHERS HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS. WE WERE LUCKY AND FOUND THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. LEAK WAS SUBSTANTIAL, NOT MINOR.

E POSITIVE TERMINAL MELTED AWAY FROM THE CASE. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO A DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. *AK

WHILE SITTING/WAITING FOR A PARKING SPACE, WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR STARTED BY ITSELF THEN SHUT OFF, THEN 10 MINS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING.*AK

BATTERY FAILURE. *AK
