2001 CADILLAC DEVILLE Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

2001 CADILLAC DEVILLE. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE WOULD NOT STAY IN PARK. *TGW THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED, FOR NO REASON. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, THE IDLE CONTROL VALVE, THE BELT TENSIONER AND CRANK AND OIL SENSORS. *JB

2001 DEVILLE CAR DIES WHEN EVER IT WANTS FOR NO REASON. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALLS FOR THIS ENGINE THAT IS ON MANY YEARS. SENSORS REPLACING DOES NO GOOD AND THE FUEL FILTER CHANGE AND FUEL PUMP DOES NO GOOD. AND REPLACING THE BATTERY DOES NO GOOD. IT IS THE ENGINE AND NO ONE HAS A CURE. WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED MAYBE THERE WILL BE A RECALL THEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 CADILLAC DTS THE ENGINE TAKE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL AND A COOLANT ABSORPTION THAT CAUSE OVERHEATING AND CONSTANT ENGINE WORK. I WAS TOLD AT THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CADILLAC NORTH STAR ENGINE. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFFS WHEN THE CAR RUNS HOT AND MY SAFETY WAS IN JEOPARDY DUE TO THIS KNOWN FAILURE. GM SHOULD FIX THESE KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES WITH CARS WITH THIS ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. THESE ISSUES NORMALLY RANGE FROM $1000-$4000 TO REPAIR. *TR

2001 CADILLAC DEVILLE HAS A STALLING PROBLEM. CONSUMER WANTS TO KNOW WHY GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *NJ THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE TWO CRANKSHAFT SENSORS APPEARED TO BE THE REASON FOR THE STALLING, BUT THE CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *JB

ENGINE OVERHEATED AND WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE CAUSE OF THIS IS THE BOLTS HOLDING THE ENGINE BLOCK TOGETHER GOT LOOSE, AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINES. THE COST OF REPAIR WILL BE MORE THAN $4000 . THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVERED THIS BECAUSE THEY SAID IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CHECK ON LINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM,. ( IT WILL ALSO USE AN EXTRA QT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.) EVERY SAYS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS ENGINES. SO MY QUESTION IS: IF EVERY BODY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE NORTH STAR ENGINE, WHY IS IT THAT CADILLAC IS NOT FORCED TO RECALL ALL THIS CARS AND PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE ENGINE REPAIRS???????? *TR

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED 2001 CADILLAC DEVILLE WAS STALLING AND JUMPING. THIS IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONSUMER HAS TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS 4 TIMES. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS STALLING EVEN IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONSUMER IS GETTING A RENTAL WHEN THE DEALER IS WORKING ON THE CAR.

AND THE OWNER IS NOW GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL FEE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE OWNER IS HAVING ISSUES ON HER WARRANTY ALSO. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED SENSORS, GASKETS AND ROTORS, MOTOR MOUNTS, REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. THE OWNER DOES HAVE ANY IDEA ON THE CAUSE. THE COMPONENT THAT I AM CHOOSING IS OTHER. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG...

DT: WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR STALLED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME THE CAR IS RUNNING. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER.
