Car keeps stalling out (at light, while driving, etc) with the cause apparently attributed to a faulty ignition switch. I had the ignition switch replaced (for a charge of $496) at midway cadillac in pokomoke md (after having car towed there on feb 14, 2014, because at that time, had difficulty even getting the key in the ignition switch). The problem i was having with it stalling out persists, even after the new ignition switch.writing because the ignition-switch-related problems i am having appear to be the same or similar to other gm cars which are currently being recalled due to ignition switch problems. Please include the cadillac deville 2001 into your investigation regarding faulty ignition switches of gm-made cars.

So my question is:if every body knows about the problems with the north star engine, why is it that cadillac is not forced to recall all this cars and pay for their defective engine repairs????????

I have a 2001 cadillac deville with a 4.6(y) motor while i love the car the motor is the pits it is very costly using over 1qt between oil changes and now i have a misfire and lost of coolant and was told that my head gasket had blown and my crankcase halves are leaking and i was told to fix itwould be a new engine at the cost of $8k so i guess i will have to deal with the random misfire because i cant afford to fix it you would think since cadillac is gm's luxury brand they wouldn't have the customers deal with this sloppy engine also i have had the oil drip on the exhaust and start a small fire so now i will have to try and baby this thing.
Dt*: the contact stated while navigating slowly through a parking lotthe vehicle lostpower.after multiple attempts the vehicle was restarted.when the vehicle was restarted the battery warning light came on and went back.the vehicle was driven directly to the dealership.they were unable to identify the cause of the problem through the vehicle's built in diagnostic system.
2001 cadillac deville.intermittently won't start.all lights in car come on, so there is electrical power. I have been having this problem for 2 years...i am now on my 3rd dealer/service.problem never shows up on diagnostics...they have been able to duplicate a few times....still unable to fix. Pcm has been replaced 2 times. I am very frustrated....please help....the service departments also do not know what to do...
The contact owns a 2001 cadillac deville.the key would turn, but the vehicle would start intermittently.there were no warning indicators present.the dealer stated that the key needed to be replaced and the failure continued after the repair was made.while driving between 5-35 mph, the vehicle stalled.the service engine warning indicator light illuminated and there was a loss of power brakes and steering.the gear was shifted into neutral and the vehicle restarted.the dealer made repairs, but the type of repairs were unknown.the failure persists.the failure mileage was 88,000 and current mileage was 94,000.
While traveling at 30 mphvehicleshut down. Engine checklight cameon and off.dealer stated crank shaft sensor needed to be replaced.
Service engine light comes on and vehicle engine will unexpectedly die leaving you with no power assist on brakes or steering, a very dangerous situation. Dealer has replaced engine crankshaft sensor the third time now. The enginedied unexpectedly numerous times, and the engine crankshaft sensor has been replaced three times in 52,000 miles. Dealer says cadillac will not pay for replacement even though they are aware of the problem and sensor had been replaced twice previously. We are extremely lucky these incidents did not cause a major crash.
My 2001 cadillac deville uses 2 quarts of oil ever 1300 miles. This is excessive oil consumption for a vehicle under 50,000. I have reported this to gm and my local dealer. They say that this is normal. Ireported this over a year ago! i was having a oil consumption test, but now they can not find the records.
While driving at highway speedengine shut down, causing anaccident. Please provide any additional information.

During routine service the mechanic discovered that the mid engine gasket was leaking.this is a 2001 deville with the northstar engine and only 48,000 miles on the odometer.i have done some research and know that this is an ongoing issue with that engine.i was also informed that it could cause a fire.in order to correct this , i must pay the dealer $2,000.00 as they have to tear the whole front end of the car apart to get to the problem area.this is an issue which should encourage a recall.
While driving vehicle intermittently stalled without warning. Dealer informed consumer that it can be fixed, but did not specify what repairs would be done.
Excessive oil consumption, 1 quart of oil every 800 miles. Cadillac appears to be well aware that this problem exists with some north star engines, (based on specific oil consumption procedures dictated to their dealerships, i.e.ring flushing, ring replacement with special rings, etc), but fails to inform the consumer of this potential problem when purchasing a new vehicle.
Dt:2001 cadillac deville.the consumer states the vehicle will die suddenly.

2001 cadillac de ville was built with defective engine parts (crank sensor) that cause it to stall without warning...in my car, cadillac has replaced this same part twice with the full knowledge that the original and the replacement parts were defective.yet, cadillac refuses to initiate a recall...this is unacceptable, because of the risk for accident and fatalities....when the engine stalls it is nearly impossible to quickly steer or safely stop the vehicle.i respectfully request for the nhtsa to require cadillac to recall every vehicle with this problem.i also feel cadillac should be required to design a backup system for future engines that would keep the engine ruinning if the "crank sensor" would fail.looking forward to your response.

When i purchased my cadillac, it had 22,000 miles on it.there was a "bumping" in the steering when i turned at slow speeds.i complained about it on several occasions. 1. The dealer repaired a broken motor mount, didn't fix it.2. The dealer changed the rack & pinion, didn't fix it.3. The dealer changed the tie rod ends, didn't fix it.4. An independent mechanic tightened up loose bolts in the front end, didn't fix it. 5. Finally, i took it to another dealer who told me that the steering column would have to be changed and would cost about $1,300.when i objected, because i still am not sure if they can fix the problem, they told me that it might lock up.well, i feel like that since the problem has been there since i bought the car, and they have tried unsuccessfully many times to fix it, they should fix it free.of course they don't think so.

Was involved in a front end crash going 48mph and the drivers side air bag or any other air did not deploy. There was so much damage to the front end that the car was totaled a complete loss. I would like car to be inspected for faulty air bags and also front end for faulty equipment as did not hold up well with crash. This vehicle only had 78,000 miles and was in perfect condition prior to crash. I was told there was a recall on the airbags and with that much damage and speed they should of been deployed this is a major safety violation. I was driving east bound at 48 mph car in front slammed on brakes i tried to avoid them and went to the right but there was a pole and another truck so i pulled back to left and it the car in the rear. At no time did the air bags deploy i would like an investigation started prior to car being totaled and removed by insurance company.

Significant sidewall failure at 70mph. Cadillac onstar directed us to sears in columbia tn, which replaced tire with no charge. On inspection, the no steel wires were found in the sidewall, even though specs call for them ("sb-r"). Am very concerned about the safety of the remaining 3 tires, as well as the one new one.i took digital close-up pictures of tire, and can forward them by e-mail. Michelin had no recommendations, other than to say they would call me if they got the tire in for quality analysis. What should i do ? (tiresize: p225/60r-1)

Car keeps stalling out (at light, while driving, etc) with the cause apparently attributed to a faulty ignition switch. I had the ignition switch replaced (for a charge of $496) at midway cadillac in pokomoke md (after having car towed there on feb 14, 2014, because at that time, had difficulty even getting the key in the ignition switch). The problem i was having with it stalling out persists, even after the new ignition switch.writing because the ignition-switch-related problems i am having appear to be the same or similar to other gm cars which are currently being recalled due to ignition switch problems. Please include the cadillac deville 2001 into your investigation regarding faulty ignition switches of gm-made cars.
