2004 Cadillac Seville Complaints

VARIOUS DASH WARNING LIGHTS KEPT LIGHTING UP, BUT DEALER COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH CAR. THE CAR IS A DEVILLE . *AK

2004 CADILLAC SEVILLE STEERING COLUMN HAS SLACK AND STEERING IS NOT ALIGNED. *KB THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD WANDER. *JB

THE DRIVER SEAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH ANYWAY FROM A QUARTER OF AN INCH TO AN INCH. I AM TOLD BY THE SERVING DEALER AND CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC FOR 2004 CADILLAC SEVILLE. WITH ENOUGH MOVING BACK AND FORTH THE SEAT LATCHES HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR BREAKAGE. *NM

I WAS STANDING AT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE (CADILLAC SRX) AND I LEANED AGAINST THE BACK BUMPER WITH MY LEG, AND BURNED MY LEG ON THE TAILPIPE. I WAS STANDING "FLUSH" WITH THE BUMPER, AND IT BURNED MY LEG BECAUSE IT STICKS OUT TOO FAR (ABOUT 1/2 INCH TOO FAR) FROM THE BUMPER. THIS IS THE SECOND BURN THAT MY FAMILY HAS EXPERIENCED; ONE MONTH AGO MY 7 YEAR OLD SON BURNED HIS LEG ON THE TAILPIPE AS WELL. HIS BURN WAS MUCH WORSE - IT BLISTERED AND BLED AND SCABBED OVER. HE WAS CLIMBING INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE TO RETRIEVE AN ITEM FROM THE TRUNK. I BELIEVE THAT CADILLAC NEEDS TO FIX THE TAILPIPES ON THE CAR BY EITHER SHORTENING THEM BY 3/4" OR 1 INCH, OR BY EXTENDING THE BUMPER SOMEHOW. THIS IS A DESIGN ERROR, AND A SAFETY ISSUE! I WANT CADILLAC TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE ONE OF MY YOUNGER KIDS, OR SOMEONE ELSE IS BURNED. CADILLAC HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO, AND I DO NOT FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE!

ON 12/5/04 I PARKED OUR NEW (561 MILES) 2004 CADILLAC DEVILLE AT THE COVERED WEST PALM BEACH AIRPORT PARKING LOT. I LEFT ON BUSINESS AND RETURNED TO THE CAR AT 7:30 PM ON THURSDAY, 12/9/04. I GOT INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE, PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE CAR. THE TWO FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED! THE DRIVER BAG RAKED UP THE INSIDE OF MY RIGHT FOREARM (WHICH WAS STILL HOLDING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION) AND THEN HIT ME IN THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE. I WAS SUFFERING FROM A TERRIBLE COLD AT THE TIME AND HAD TO SIT THERE AND INHALE THE DUST FROM THE BAGS UNTIL I COULD GET THEM ALL DEFLATED. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT AFTERNOON, WHERE IT REMAINS AWAITING PARTS. GM HAS CALLED ME TWICE, THE FIRST TIME WAS A YOUNG MAN WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK HE WAS DOING OTHER THAN READING QUESTIONS OFF HIS COMPUTER, AND THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CALLED TO ASK MORE STUPID QUESTIONS...LIKE, "WHAT KIND OF CAR WAS PARKE...
