A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Air bags deployed inadvertently causing driver to loose control of vehicle and colide with on-coming traffic. Both driver and passenger received fatal injuries.
Son reports that his parents were killed while traveling at approximately 45-50 MPH when suddenly vehicle lost control and parents were killed when a blazer, traveling at same speed, t-boned the vehicle.
While traveling at approximately 40-45 MPH, vehicle suddenly began to shake veering into the on coming lane and was struck by broad side by another vehicle. The roads were slightly covered with snow having been salted and cindered 30 minutes prior to crash and no ice was found on roadway. Air bags may have deployed inadvertently causing driver to lose control. Both driver and passenger were killed.
Severe vibration between 50 to 80 mi. Per hour. Have spent over $1000.00 to try to remedy problem. Dealership said they can't do anymore and it must be a manufacturing defect. There is also a very loud popping noise when the steering wheel is turned in either direction. It comes from either side and possibly chassis. At first thought it was struts or bearings. Complete front end repair did not fix the noise. Car has never been in an accident either.
I own a 95 cadillac that had less than 3000 miles on it when I got it in 95. In 2000 the fuel pump shorted out in the fuel tank burning up the fuel pump and the wiring harness going to it. I had the car repaired at stutzman cadillac in winchester va. In november 2005 the same thing happened again. I called cadillac main office and talked to told them about what had happened. The only reply I got from them was they were sorry that I was having problems with the car.
