2005 Cadillac Deville problems

“MY A/C RUNS AT WILL. OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. RUNNING, STATIONARY, AND IN MOTION. MY HEADLIGHTS COME ON WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE EVER THOUGH THEY ARE TURNED OFF. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE BATTERY AND ALL CHECKED OUT FINE AT TWO LOCAL PARTS /BATTERY STORES JULY 18TH 2017. BOTH WERE REPLACED IN MAY OF 2016. THE DISPLAY PANEL FOR THE A/C SHOWS BOTH THE FAN ICON AND THE AUTO ICON. THE AUTO ICON WILL NOT TURN OFF. SEARCHING ON LINE FOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MAKE AND MODEL SHOW MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NO ANSWERS. THIS BEGAN JULY 6TH AND IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AS IN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.”

“ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2005 CADILLAC DEVILLE AT THE SPEED OF 65 MPH. I EXIT ON TO AN EXIT RAMP AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHILE AT THE LIGHT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES BUT THE PEDDLE KEPT GOING TO THE FLOOR. I THEN REALIZED I LOST MY BREAKS. THE REPAIR SHOP THAT REPAIRED MY BRAKES STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE GOING TO THE REAR BRAKES RUSTED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR, WHICH CAUSED MY BRAKE FAILURE. THIS REPAIR COST ME $572.66 TO RUN 2 NEW BRAKE LINES FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE REAR BRAKES. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AND NOT TRYING TO STOP AT 65 MPH. I HAVE AN 84 CHEVY, A 98 BUICK AND A 2002 CHEVY AND THE ONLY THING I EVER DID TO THE BRAKES WAS TO REPLACE THEM WHEN THEY WORE OUT. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR EXPLANATION OF WHY THE BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT. *TR”

“THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS ON MY 2006 CADILLAC DTS GO OUT AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY CUT OUT AND I HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON SO I CAN DRIVE AT NIGHT. II PREVIOUSLY OWNED ANOTHER 2006 CADILLAC DTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CADILLAC DEALER KRISTAL AUTO MALL IN BROOKLYN, NY AND THEY FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY SAID WAS A FAULTY BALLAST. IT WAS FAULTY ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS. AND NOW IN THE DTS I HAVE, IT IS FAULTY TOO. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE IN OTHER GM VEHICLES.”
