2001 Cadillac DevilleVisibility & wipersEquipment & accessories

I have now replaced 3 window regulators in my 2001 cadillac deville. It is dangerous because the window stays down and I feel unsafe in my car. It is also the dead of winter and had to take my daughter to school with the window in the down position with the temperature outside of 10 degrees in her ski outfit. One regulator is acceptable and maybe a fluke but 3 is unacceptable. Blogging on the net have noted several complaints about this issue. Gm uses a plastic piece not metal and this is the failure of the part. *Tr

2002 Cadillac DevilleLightsEquipment & accessoriesElectrical system

For years I have been frustrated by the lack of rear illumination of gm vehicles during rain or fog driving conditions. Drivers seem to think that they do not need to turn on headlights because they have daytime running lights. They probably do not realize that the drl's only illuminate the front of their vehicle. Gm should inform drivers that when headlights are required, daytime running lights do not suffice. *Tr

1995 Cadillac DevilleFuel systemElectrical systemEquipment & accessories

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
