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.

WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR ONE DAY THE DASHBOARD HAD FALLEN WITHOUT ME KNOWING WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I ASKED AROUND TO SEE IF IT WAS A WAY TO FIX IT OR IF THEY HAD KNOWN ANYONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I USE MY VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND IT'S THE ONLY CAR I HAVE BUT THE CONDITION OF THE CAR IS GETTING WORSE AND THE DASHBOARD IS COMING APART MORE.

THE TRUNK DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT, WITH KEY OR WITHOUT, MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT IN ASSEMBLY OF VEHICLE. I TOOK THE AUTO TO THE DEALERSHIP (TURLOCK - SMITH CHEVROLET CADILLAC, INC.) AND WAS CHARGED FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO BREAK INTO THE TRUNK WITHOUT SUCCESS. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THIS MODEL YEAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUES. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET INTO TRUNK WITHOUT DIS ASSEMBLY. BASICALLY BREAKING IN TO THE TRUNK AND REBUILDING THE ENTIRE LOCK DOWN ASSEMBLY. I AM EXTREMELY DEPRESSED, I CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT PROBLEM OTHER THAN RE-ASSBLE THE WHOLE MESS CADILLAC CREATED BY THIS MALFUNCTIONING ISSUE.

WINDOW REGULATORS ARE FAULTY. WHEN THEY BREAK THE WINDOW GLASS FALLS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR PANEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CADILLAC.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DETROIT LOCATION OF DON MASSEY CADILLAC ON JUNE 9 2009. THERE WAS A VERY BAD RAIN STORM THAT WEEKEND. I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE RAIN COMING INTO THE VEHICLE BY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD DRIPPING FROM THE ROOF. AFTER TAKING IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES TO DON MASSEY THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT IT WAS SOME SORT OF PLUG IN THE SUNROOF THAT WAS GETTING CLOGGED UP. THEY FIXED IT BUT EVERY TIME IT HAS RAINED FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS RAIN HAS CONTINUED TO COME IN THE CAR AND NOW ITS COMING NEXT TO MY LEFT FOOT. THE DETROIT LOCATION OF DON MASSEY CLOSED LATER THAT YEAR AND I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO ANOTHER ONE (NOT SURE WHERE TO REALLY). NOW I'M REDUCED TO PUTTING A PLASTIC BAG OVER THE SUNROOF WHEN I KNOW RAIN IS PREDICTED (WHICH IS EXTREMELY TACKY ON A CADILLAC) ;-( NOT SURE IF OTHER 2005 CADILLAC OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS TRULY A PAIN IN MY "ROOF" .
