1995 Cadillac Deville Electrical problems

While driving up an incline on hot day with ac on I got message no charge, and "engine hot shutdown soon", & ac compressor off! (A no brainer with belt shredded!!) As well as steering going numb. When I looked under the hood the serpentine belt had slipped off the pulleys & shredded. Upon closer inspection it was determined that the power steering pump "adapter" has a leak that drips oil directly onto the belt & pulleys which are smooth with nothing to stop belt from sliding off should a leak occurs. I have been unable to find "power steering pump adapter" in salvage yard & its out of production at gm & not in stock at my local dealer. *Tr

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. The first time this happened the car had 43000 miles on it . It now has 81000. It seems to me that there ought to be a fuse or something to keep this from happening. *Jb

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. There is also a problem with changing gear shift from parking to...

Fuel pump failed, causing vehicle not to start.*Ak the insulation around fuel pump wires, that provided power to the electronic fuel pump, partially melted. Since the wire are located inside the fuel tank this failure could have resulted in an explosion. *Ts *nlm

Consumer does not feel safe with vehicle due to unexpected power failure. Had no other choice but to sell vehicle. Vehicle has had repairs on the following: water pump, fuel system, and ignition module. None of which solved the problem). Dealer wanted to give the consumer a $1000.00 Owner loyalty certificate which could be used upon the trade of a new vehicle. But the consumer felt that was inadequate and traded the vehicle in on his own terms after having numerous difficulties w/various dealership representatives(stated in letter). Consumer expects to receive a refund of the monies he had spent on getting the vehicle repaired. *Scc...*Ak

Consumer had to replace the fuel pump. The wiring harness had caught on fire and melted the insulation on some of the wires destroying the electrical connector under the fuel outlet lines inside of the tank. The vehicle prior to the fire used to stall until it quit entirely. After consumer replaced the fuel pump, he noticed the old fuel pump was not the cause of failure. The wiring harness had failed because of an electrical fire. *Jg

A fire started in the trunk of the vehicle while the consumer was driving, consumer was informed by another motorist who assisted, that the computer chip had burned up.*Jb

Removal of fuel pump revealed bare wiring inside fuel tank which shorted circuit. *Ak

Airbag light keeps coming on dashboard. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said it was a defective coil. *Ak

It was raining hard and water got in the vehicle. Left the parking lot could hear the water in the rear of the car. All of sudden the horn was blowing, then it stopped. When the consumer reached home and turned the key off, both airbags deployed. Passenger side shattered the windshield. There was a recall for the airbag nhtsa recall 98v115000 and manufacturer's recall 98032. *Ak *ml

Wiring harness to fuel pump burned and melted, fuel pump and top part of fuel tank caught on fire and melted.*Ak

Wife starts driving home and engine stops running, pulls off of road ,car won't start,she calls her husband and thinks the car is out of gas. He puts 2 gls in and car won't start, adds another 2gls,car won't start, calls tow truck, truck lifts front of car and there is a large spot of gas on the ground, thinking there is a hole in the tank ,car is towed to garage, new tank is ordered, 4days later we find the problem is the wiring harness burned and melted, outside of fuel pump burned and melted,top part of fuel tank burned and melted, this is a very serious hazard and warrants an investigation,contacted general motors and they ignore the problem. Thank you james b. Harakal. *Ak
