1996 Cadillac Deville Electrical system Problems

“On a 3000 cross country trip the car accelerates uncontrollably while turning the A/C off, giving it more horsepower. I originally thought it was a cruise control problem until I discovered that the car will idle beteen 3000 and 4000 RPM when this condition exists. I have seen it accelerte through 80mph. Turning the car off then recranking it causes the problem to go away temporarily. The local Cadillac dealer has refused to repair it or even diagonse the problem. I have called the Cadillac national customer service and they have also refused to help me get the needed repairs. …”

“Dt: while driving caller tries to slow down and without warning the brakes lose power. While at the stop light it accelerates, and she has to fight the car to keep it stopped. While in park it races at 2125 rpms. Had car to dealer 4 times for same problem. Dealer said it was a chip in computer. Car will be towed again tonight. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet. Manufacturer was called the last time this happened.”

“When the driver put the key in and turned the ignition vehicle caught on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.”

“In heavy rain electrical system would momentarily shutdown, including power steering. Consumer has taken vehicle to the dealership on six different occasions. Dealer has not made any repairs until the 6th time when vehicle was taken. Dealer had recognized a service bullentin issued, and charged consumer $80 for repairs for non clip on serpentine belt. The vehicle went out of control while making a left turn.”

“While making left turn in moderate traffic, instrument panel went black,temperature demand went to 75f,blower came on full with blast of very hot air; in driving to dealer incident recurred several times and traction warning light came on, though traction was not lost.”
