The car would die out, and you have no power anything. Put it in neutral and you could restart it. Solution was to replace two sensors that cost about $400. This also happened on a 2001 Cadillac Deville, I had in 2012, and had to replace sensors. About $400. Again. All repairs were done a Chevy dealer dekalb/sycamore Chevy. This a similar problem to the keys in the ignition. The car engine just die and no power anything. The repairs are in the dealer records. I would like my money back.

At around 11:35 am, as I was turning left from prairie street into the far South entrance of krogers' supermarket. The Cadillac's engine just stopped running. I was unable to turn the steering wheel fast enough to complete the turn without jumping the curb. After completing the turn, I placed the car into neutral and hit the starter a few times. The engine cranked but failed to start the first few attempts (at least I think). I was about to start my process of exiting the car, when I noticed the tachometer showing 600 RPM. I was really hesitate to drive the vehicle any further, so we proceeded to do our grocery shopping. I removed the ignition key from the car's entry remote and my cluster of personal keys. After stowing the groceries and checking my computer files for the previous reported Cadillac's problem concerning onstar disabling it in August 2008. I made some operational checks of the ignition switch. I really have my doubts that the weight on the key would cause such a malfunction, unless the ignition control circuitry is grossly designed.

1. (a) my Cadillac (dhs-2002) operates in a dangerous and defective manner that could cause accidents. I have had the vehicle serviced no less than 16 times to fix equipment failures, including those which could be major safety issues, to no avail. (B) the airbag warning light has come on two separate occasions, though the bag never deployed. (C) the vehicle suddenly stalled when making turns. 2. (a) my vehicle contains "automatic rain sensors" for its windshield wipers. The wipers come on violently (highest level), even when not turned on, and though it is not raining. The danger is sudden distraction, which could easily cause an accident when merging with traffic and in other dangerous driving situations. They also come on suddenly when passing radio towers. The date set forth below is the first incident; it continues to happen. (B) the airbag warning light creates fear in the driver, as we are unsure as to if and when the airbag will deploy. If it where to deploy erroneously while we were driving, the results could be catastrophic. (C) on two occasions, while making turns in traffic, the vehicle stalled, which could have led to a serious accident. 3. (a) I have returned the vehicle to my dealer for service on numerous occasions. No parts have been replaced, nor has any repair been effected. It appears that this is a systemic issue, and I suspect that it affects all Cadillac similarly equipped. (B) the airbags where replaced on two occasions which has, as least temporarily, solved the problem. (C) on two occasions, sensors were replaced which where allegedly the cause of the problem (last time this occurred was 5/25/05) the foregoing represent critical electronic system failures that could result in fatal accidents. The inability of GM to resolve the automatic wiper issue, together with multiple repairs of other sensors that caused major system failures requires investigation into the safety of this vehicle.

Consumer complaining about the design of the accelerator pedal being close to the brake pedal. Mr the consumer states that it causes additional seconds to get his foot on the brake pedal from the accelerator pedal. The consumer also states that the same maneuver happens when his right foot hits the end of the side vertical panel. Scc when looking in the rear view mirror, consumer can only see one quarter of the bottom horizontal view. On a sunny day, the illuminated numbers on the dash are not visible and requires repeated glances to obtain an accurate reading. The passenger door handle is difficult to reach for closing once it has been opened.
