1999 Cadillac Deville Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“The contact owns a 1999 Cadillac Deville. While driving between 60-70 MPH, the vehicle would shimmy drastically. The independent mechanic advised the contact not to drive the vehicle over 50 MPH. The front tie rod was replaced and a semi-alignment was performed. The axle hub carrier rear suspension was faulty and the coil spring was also damaged. Later, the windshield wipers would not operate and, upon further investigation, it was discovered that the wipers were wired incorrectly. While driving less than 50 MPH, the check oil warning light illuminated because there was no oil in the vehicle. …”

“Consumer states when it is raining and dark and headlights are coming from the opposite direction, all she sees is a blur, on one occasion while washing the vehicle, she noticed brown blotches directly in front of the driver side field of vision on the windshield.”

“While driving at any speed the vehicle will shut down without prior warning. Dealer installed a black box, and the consumer stated that in cold weather can't put gas into the gas tank due to the cover and cap freezing up. Also, windshield wipers don't work. The button for the high and low works but nothing else. When vehicle stalls all electrical power is lost including brakes and steering. Vehicle is back in shop, and the dealer can't determine the problem.”

“The contact owned a 1999 Cadillac Deville. While making a turn, anti-freeze spilled onto the contact's foot. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the heater core burst due to an improper location and inadequate material. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist. The contact stated that the failure caused her to get skin grafts on her foot. The VIN and failure mileage were not provided.”
