I was driving home from work when my 1992 cadillac eldorado headlights when out barely able to see 5 minutes afterwards lights came back on thinking that i must have a wire loose check wiring when i got home and found no loose wire anywhere. Next day had vehicle service to see if mechanic could find why my lights are keep turning off. Mechanic could not find any problem. So when i decided to go out for dinner my headlights would not come on. The only light that is working was the passenger side parking light. This is very dangerous while driving down country side roads if it was totally dark outside i would have had a bad accident.

Driver's side seatback will not stay in a upright postion.dealer notified, and made repairs at consumer's cost.currently,passenger's seat appears to have this problem. The rocket mechanism which adjusts the seat back angle failed one notch at a time until the seat back gave way completely.
In june of 2003, i purchased a 1992 cadillac eldorado, that was a trade-in at ruddell auto mall, in port angeles, wa.this eldorado was given a service check, but one front seat (drivers side) would not stay locked in the upright position, i asked that it be fixed before i took possession, of it.when i picked it up, the drivers side was working, but the passenger side was not. During the past ten or so months, the drivers side started to recline, and upon trying to raise drivers seat back to a safe upright position, it fails to do so. Now both seats are not working, each having manual recline levers (broken), and six-way electric adjustment that work on both front seats. Is this a common defect, for the '92 eldorado manual recline seats? the dealer costs for total seat replacement, is too high, dealer cost for each seat-back recline hinge (two in each seat) is $148.00 +tax and labor. Which is also too high, for a retired 60 year old, disabled veteran, living on limited income.

Developed problem with sudden loss of brake fluid.took car to midas and was told both rear proportion valves were leaking.midas' database showed a possible problem with this make and model having this failure on both sides at approximately 60,000 miles.when discussed with cadillac repair (bud weiser motors, beloit, wi), they told me there was no problem with anyone other than my vehicles brakes and the fact that both valves failed at the same time was a coincidence.they refused to investigate a possible problem.this assembly can only be repaired by an authorized cadillac dealership.
