2003 Cadillac DevilleBody, doors & structureDriver assistanceBrakes

The abs & traction control indicators come up on the screen along with check as I'm driving. When this happens my brakes make a weird sound like a sprung spring and the brakes feel like they're gone but they're not. It's scary be sure I feel I may not be able to stop which to me is a safety hazard. No codes show even though the check light came on, but none of the indicator lights ever stay on very long, it's off and on , off and on, just pops up occasionally, all 3 together every time. It may go days before they...

decide to pop up on the dash again. The first time this happen I was just heading out for work so the car has not been driven since the prior day it was stable on level ground as I started backing out of my driveway. When I reached the point to apply the brakes that's when the weird baked sound accompanied by the brake paddle feeling like my brakes weren't working and dash lights appeared. This happens during braking. I was told that the tire pressure sensor,/ monitor thing could be the cause. That's another thing. Why have tire pressure effect the workability 9f my brakes and traction control? They have nothing to do with tire pressure. Also the electric rear windows seem to be an issue since day one. Every owner of the 03 cadillac deville has complained of the windows just falling out of place both outside & inside the door for no reason other than a bad design defect. Why should the consumers continue to replace the windows at no fault of ours? Gm has known of this issue from the first year of manufacturing, yet it is us, the buyers, consumers that are paying and not just out of money but the risk of broken glass hurting a backseat passenger a child or adult that could potentially become a law suite for gm. This is why it definitely should be a recall.

time. I also have 2 psi sensors out. Neither back window goes down one needs motor the other on the regulator a plastic clip that keeps it inline is worn out. I figured that out. But idk why all them safety warnings came on and why I cannot get traction control to ever go off? Just find it weird happened all at once car still starts and runs fine. I'm just worried I think air bag needs to be recharged or inspected.My plan is to restore it needs minor repairs but dealerships is a rip off. If I can find where these electrical sensors are I will do it my self. They ridiculously over charge for everything. I was crossing rail road tracts at a slight angle.Cause unknown.

My 1998 cadillac deville needs a vital part to it's abs/traction control function. However, gm has discontinued making the part, (#19244918)with no available substitute. Therefore, leaving my car with no abs or traction control. Also, the transmission no longer engages 1st gear. (A supposed saftey measure)which in most cases, only puts my family's safety at risk. I do not understand how or if, gm can legally put profits before safety.

I was hit head-on. The ignition turned off after being hit and the seat- belts did not deploy. I stopped and my hand was on the horn but the person did not slow down or stop.I was on a city street.I was hurt and had neck surgery. Gm is telling me they will look back into it after denial that was it due to the recall. They sold the car as salvage when the insurance totaled it. The car was then sold with a salvage title. They replaced the ignition after telling me my accident injuries was not due to the recall.

steering problem, although now believe it had something to do with the stability control system, steering column area. We were charged for the repair, even though it falls under the recall complaints. What we thought was going to be a $100 or $150.00 Job, as I ok'd them to use the multi-point inspection machine and check anti freeze level, costs us $688.15. The first estimate was over $4,000, unbelievable, in which the agent said " they had to pay the mechanic for his labor". $533.76 For labor, $131.50 For a part which is a recall. Service stability control system . I will be going back to talk with gmc manager. *Tr

car, speedometer, hazard lights, turn signals and the headlamps. Eventually used street lights to guide us to exit on I 287 in white plains, ny. Once we found a safe spot off the road, we turned off the car, because we did not know what the issue was (?Engine, ?Fire risk, ?Would power steering / brakes fail next). Car towed at ~10 am to local cadillac dealer. *Tr
