2004 Cadillac Seville Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC STS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HEARD A LOUD SOUND ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHOCK ABSORBER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,500.

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SLS THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN 2004.... THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED ON IT APPROX. A YEAR OR SO AGO BUT APPROX. A MONTH AGO, WE HAD A HEAVY RAIN AND I WAS ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE STEERING GOT REAL TIGHT AND INSTEAD OF TURNING RIGHT INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE, I HAD TO GO INTO THE LEFT LANE WHERE ONCOMING CARS ARE BUT, LUCKILY, THERE WASN'T A CAR COMING IN THAT LANE. THE STEERING GOT VERY STIFF. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL WHEN IT RAINS, IT IS A RISK AS FAR AS SAFETY IS CONCERNED. I GAVE $51,000 FOR THE CAR NEW. *TR

MY 2004 CADILLAC SEVILLE LOSES ALL POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING IN ANY WET CONDITIONS! BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN OR AFTER RAIN. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CAUSES FREQUENT PROBLEMS FOR ME BOTH PERSONALLY AND BUSINESS WISE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS NO SPLASH GUARD. TOO BAD I WASN'T INFORMED OF THIS PRIOR TO PURCHASING. ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? COMMENTS AND SOLUTIONS ARE WELCOMED. GM NOR THE CADILLAC DEALER HAVE BEEN ANY HELP. MY FAMILY HAS MY BLESSINGS TO SUE IF & WHEN I DIE FROM IT! :( [XXX] IN FLORIDA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE (ELMORE SIMS) ARE THE OWNERS OF A 2004 CADILLAC DEVILLE SINCE MAY 2007. WE HAVE OWNED VARIOUS MODELS OF CADILLACS FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS, AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE NAME "CADILLAC'S" DENOTES QUALITY. HOWEVER, OUR LATEST PURCHASE WITH THIS THREE (3) YEAR OLD VEHICLE IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, HAS CAUSED US GREAT REPAIRS AND EXPENSES AND LOSS OF CONFIDENCE IN THE NAME CADILLAC'S. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS WITH THE FAN MOTOR FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING, WHICH COST $240. THE NEXT MAJOR REPAIR WAS THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH COST $600. THE BRAKES ARE NEXT, BUT THAT IS EXPECTED FROM A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE OTHER CADILLAC'S WE HAD WERE ALSO USED VEHICLES AND NEVER REQUIRED MAJOR REPAIRS SUCH AS THESE SO SOON. THOSE OLDER MODEL VEHICLES WERE OF QUALITY. HAS THE MANUFACTURE OUTSOURCES PARTS TO CUT COST? THE QUALITY THAT I EXPECTED FROM CADILLAC HAS BEEN DIMINISHED. I HOPE THEY WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, BECAUSE MY CERTIFIED CADILLAC MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WIT...
