While sitting in front of my home my 1999 cadillac deville caught on fire and burnt to a total loss.the car was parked, had not been driven for about 48 hours. The fire started in the engine compartment. The fire occurred at about 2:00pm.satruday afternoon. Temp about 82 degrees.something in the cars engine room on the left side ignited. It appears to have been an electrical problem that self ignited. Just prior to the fire, my wife who was at home at the time heard the car alarm go off.she went to the window and it quit sounding. She did not see any fire at that time.about 5 minutes later a neighbor pounded on the door and alerted her to the fact that the car was burning. The fire was so intense that before the fire department got to the seen, one of the hood gas struts blew through the front grill and landed about 20 feet in front of the vehicle. The fire department came and put out the fire.something obviously within this cars engine compartment electrical/computer system started the fire. The car is a total loss.

Engine overheated-loose head bolts (nhtsa item # sb6089931). Antifreeze vapors came in passenger compartment through a/c vents for over 20 minutes and then a large steam explosion inside car when engine overheated. A fine mist of vapors entered the car without our knowledge as we thought something was wrong with the air conditioner as the inside air temperature kept slowing rising until steam explosion occured. ( hot antifreeze vapors were forced through the air conditioner vents by the deforming of the rear hood gasket by incoming 65mph air flow and a defective front hood gasket). If this car had a full time coolant temperature gauge this incident and injuries might not have happened. Cadillac does not provide an active temperature gauge on this car as other manufacturers do. Only way to determine coolant temperatures is to push the information button on dash which separately informs you of engine functions. No warnings in operation manual, no warning labels in engine compartment as to potential dangers of dex-cool exposure nor information onthe day of engine failure from cadillac road assistance personnel at their 800 number). Only warnings of engine overheating are emitted -after the car has overheated!injuries to myself were:severe, very painful eye inflamation in both eyes( eye doctor examination in october 1999) instant cataracts with large black spots in both eyes 30 days after accident. Rightand left sides of face presently have chemical burns on cheeks and throat. In april, 2000 i had very difficult breathing problems. I went to the hospital emergency on 2 differentdays with breathing problems. Breathing problems were diagnosed as chemical induced asthma from dex-cool antifreeze with 2-ethylhexanoic acid inhalation. At present i live in hell each day with asthma from this cadillac vehicle. Engine was rebuilt in september, 99 and anew engine installed on jan. 28, 2000. Front brake rotors rusted up in february, 2000 after 16 days of sitting idle.*

My 1999 cadillac deville has stalled out 3 times in the last 6 months.all 3 of the engine stalls have occurred on the highway as i have reduced speed in preparation to enter a lower speed limit zone or in preparation to stop at an intersection.the loss of power during these stalls makes breaking and turning extremely difficult.in addition, i'm forced to come to a stop in the middle of the road in order to restart the engine.this is a very dangerous situation.

( hot antifreeze vapors were forced through the air conditioner vents by the deforming of the rear hood gasket by incoming 65mph air flow and a defective front hood gasket). If this car had a full time coolant temperature gauge this incident and injuries might not have happened. Cadillac does not provide an active temperature gauge on this car as other manufacturers do. Only way to determine coolant temperatures is to push the information button on dash which separately informs you of engine functions. No warnings in operation manual, no warning labels in engine compartment as to potential dangers of dex-cool exposure nor information onthe day of engine failure from cadillac road assistance personnel at their 800 number). Only warnings of engine overheating are emitted -after the car has overheated!injuries to myself were:severe, very painful eye inflamation in both eyes( eye doctor examination in october 1999) instant cataracts with large black spots in both eyes 30 days after accident. Rightand left sides of face presently have chemical burns on cheeks and throat. In april, 2000 i had very difficult breathing problems. I went to the hospital emergency on 2 differentdays with breathing problems. Breathing problems were diagnosed as chemical induced asthma from dex-cool antifreeze with 2-ethylhexanoic acid inhalation. At present i live in hell each day with asthma from this cadillac vehicle. Engine was rebuilt in september, 99 and anew engine installed on jan. 28, 2000. Front brake rotors rusted up in february, 2000 after 16 days of sitting idle.*

Excessive oil consumption.starting from 26 jun. 1999 ,the day after purchase, till 20 mar. 2000 the dealer worked on finding and correcting engine oil leaks. With the next oil change, after correction of the oil leaks , on 12 jul.2000 the oil level was down one quart. At this time i requested an oil consumption test which was completed(3k miles later) on 5 sep.2000 and again was one quart low. At this time i was informed that they would now have to do a formal consumption test(3k miles more) to submit to g.m. Should the oil level again be a quart low the dealer advised me that it would be with-in acceptable limits in accordance with the latest g.m. Bulletin,which was not available for me to see.i subsequently called g.m. At 1 800 458 8006 and they informed me that they could not make any commet on this "technical" problemand that i would have to work it out with the dealer..would i be way off base thinking that the dealer more or less already stated he is not going to do anything about this????? thanks for your ear.
On-going / intermittent problem with engine stalling, but will restart. Vehicle been to three defferent dealers.first dealer informedconsumer of a loose negative cable, which didnot correct the problem. But the other dealers were unable to locate cause of the problem.
First time engine failed while driving on interstate at approx 75 mph. Engine completely shut down while passing semi.all lights on dash came on and total loss of power steering.after serious scrambling to get car off road and bring to safe stop attempt to restart was successful and trip of 600 miles continued w/o incident. Five days later same thing occurred on suburban street in heavy traffic at approx 45 mph causing a lot of consternation by drivers behind me that did not understand why i came to sudden deceleration. Took car to cadillac dealer and they found no problem. They charged me $112.50 for engine driveability and performance diagnosis and did replace a defective egr valve which i feel had absolutely no assoc w/ stalling problem. I think after looking at all the other filings of this problem in the nhtsa records, that cadillac has a real problem and had better get on it before someone gets killed.dt

I have a 1999 cadillac deville, there is a problem with the rear suspension knuckle assembly, i have had this car to 2 different dealers, the second dealer, last summer, replaced the rear struts & stabilizer bar which did not rectify the situation when ambient temperatures are above 60 degrees, i hear a "fierce" screech/scrunch sound from the rear suspension, i have gone round & round with cadillac customer service & the dealers, now that the car is no longer under warranty cadillac doesn't want anything to do with it.i had my oil changed & the tires rotated last week & while they were under the car i had them to look at the rear suspension, they said it needed a new knuckle assembly & the dealer knew better than replace rear struts with this type of noise.it seems that nourse cadillac in delaware ran up a big tab & billed it to cadillac (warranty) and as soon as they made their money they wanted nothing more to do with the car so now i am stuck.a car of this magnitude & price should not have rear components wearing like this, i only have 77,000 miles on the car & i do not drive it hard....what do i do?

While pressing the acclerator pedal vehicle would not acclerate. But whenoccupant pressesgas pedal "hard"vehicle takes off which may cause a collision.been to dealertwice. Dealer replaced the throttle cable, but problem is still occurring.please provide further information.
The accelerator sticks "hangs" due to carbon build up on the accelerator cable.the owner states that he has to step on the pedal very hard in order to depress or unstick.the vehicle is taken in for this failure about every six months.please describe details ts
Consumer states accelerator sticks and to his understanding that this is a well known problem, it has to do with fuel additives in the high test fuel specified by cadillac in their owners manual, but when consumer reported the issue he was informed by dealership that the problem is an owners issue and the correction would not be covered under warranty.
Multiple occasions where the acceleratorpedalsticks.pressing on the pedal harder will free up the pedal but leads to jerking and unpredictable acceleration.dealer says this is a very common failure and they have no permanent fix.

Consumer states when it is raining and dark and headlights are coming from the opposite direction, all she sees is a blur, on one occasion while washing the vehicle, she noticed brown blotches directly in front of the driver side field of vision on the windshield.
While driving at any speed the vehicle will shut down without prior warning. Dealer installed a black box, and the consumer stated thatin cold weathercan't put gas into the gas tank due to the cover and cap freezing up. Also, windshield wipers don't work. The button for the high and low works but nothing else.when vehicle stalls all electrical power is lost including brakes and steering.vehicle is back in shop, and the dealer can't determine the problem.
I own a 1999 cadillac deville with alloy wheels. Two of the four wheels have stress cracks in them. This vehicle has not been driven abusively and the tires and wheels have always been properly balanced and aligned.i am very concerned that other vehicles with this type of wheel(s) will also get stress fractures and the wheels will fail with catastrophic results!i will keep the wheels and make them available for inspection for 45 days.
